The Cardi B, Pepsi Super Bowl commercial that’s causing controversy

First I have to say that Steve Carrell is looking bae af ???

And this is NOT racist. Of course I despise Pepsi but saying this ad is racist is such a reach. They got famous people saying their own classic sayings. It’s a cool concept if the product wasn’t so unhealthy ?

.... The word "Racist" is thrown around so much that soon it will lack any weight.

Tell the WHOLE truth Any White man looks bae to you. He could be a fat slob, broke deadbeat bum or KKK racist and you'd still lick his feet.

Who’s saying it is? I’m busy, I guess I missed something?

Boring bish. Knot today. Next.

I’m still looking for the racism.....

Do cardi and them know the NFL still making money off them???

Dummies trying to bring down the NFL...they thought they had that kind of power, what narcissist..

With the slavery contracts they signed, The NFL can call up they labels and force them to perform, if they really wanted too.. Guess these celebs forgot they were owned, they let the Diamonds and Gucci get to they head.. to busy trying to flex and forgot the reality is they are well kept slaves...

All of them need to shut up and never speak on activism again...including
KP... can’t even turn down a super bowl party or commercial, how they gone fight for justice... lol ? yeah aight!!!

Shout out to all the people who never fell for the theatrics, kept it 100 and about to watch the super bowl...???????

It's not about race, but look at the commercial again......

Nope you missed nothing.. when nothing to talk
About they make things up

Racist ??? maybe I’m a lil slow....enlighten me please?????

Steve Carrell

Can someone explain the difference between declining the super bowl half time show and performing at the super bowl music festival ?????

Lol....Chiiiile yew did knot go there!

Why does every thing gotta be "racist" now? Folks hollering this is racist, that is racist, that away stuff that is truly racists. If a white woman calls you a n!gger and tells you she won't serve you food cuz you are black, well THAT is racist. This shot is NOT.

I saw the show "Atlanta" that is the most ratchet show on planet earth! The bm are all trifiling the bw have no standards and it is simply a sad pitiful show full of not stereotypes but real black folk acting so simple .The boys and men want to rap no planning for the future nothing...smh

Manufactured racist crisis https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2c65c1d99c59cb26ae2d69ec1f31c4bb216ba0a9c65cb037b29eeb67012f057d.jpg

Eileen if you dont gone over to yahoo news with that late ass commentary....donald Glover is the shit!

looks like someone got they third eye open..

???

Except my fave though. Fenty beauty just made 570 million in sales in its first year according to LVMH's financial reports. And she hasn't toured in 3yrs. Rihanna's cash flow must be good.

thats right he is sh-t I am entitled to my own opinion the acting is great but the true story behind it is real and sad there are black folks like that for real!!!

My thoughts exactly! I was thinking that on yesterday. If u boycott, boycott everything

So you agree it's greatness....that'll b all

Me either, they reaching for real.

Does anyone have a magnifying glass? Cuz i'm still tryna find where TF it's racist at

This !!!!

Yep, dont get the talent. But glad she's winning. You know they love to build people up to bring them down. Its how it usually happens. Long as she stay humble she will be ok.

True. The fact that she was even included is def a low bar, but in today's climate even that is something

It's not televised. And you taking from NFL vs giving/volunteering. Those shows pay. Super Bowl half time does not. It's akin to them doing a regular ticketed concert

Flawlessly!!

I know it was. My girl

Adorable commercial.

Someone in Hollywood LOVES this woman Cardi B.

Comparatively speaking to other latina stars, in two years she's more visible, established, successful than Jlo, Salma Hayek, Sofia Vegara, Rosie Perez all were in the first 10 years of their careers. Those latina stars were on the grind for years to attain Cardi's level of fame. I don't think Jlo has ever had a Pepsi commercial? Cardi is just getting started too. She will be making movies, they will be giving her a sitcom, and that's not even including Spanish television. Think about how famous Michael Jackson and Britney Spears were before they got Pepsi Superbowl commercials. I'm just illustrating how unreal her meteoric rise is especially as a female rapper. Somebody very powerful at the helm of Hollywood loves that woman.

But not without her. That's the key. Years ago they would have had some white star doing a version of her vernacular.

Caught it. Not accidental either.

she is signed to CAA agents. they wanted to get in on reality tv and they did it with a bang. this couldve been joseline but she didnt want to be a clown and people thought she was a man.

I do not like the show Atlanta. I know the back story of racism and stereotyping by the white people who cast it.

Nah, you are right......separation of the masses ......

Her new face looks FANTASTIC!
Her outfit was FANTASTIC!
Her voice was OUTSTANDING ???

Gurl....

SHUT

THE

PHUCK

UP

With

That

BULL?

I agree!

I must be getting old because I don't know or understand what I just watched.

???

AMEN to everything you wrote!!!! Cardi is a hard worker and through all her fame she remains humble at heart. I find her humility impressive. She’s on top of the world and just getting started. I can’t wait to see her take all five those Grammys she’s nominated for.

??

She made it popular but it originated with RUPAUL and the drag queens

Wish RUPAUL could have got his coins since he originated Okuuurrr

I didn’t think it was rascist, how both speak. I could get what someone might feel about the commercial or the black and brown person’s articulation, and what it might infer!

Cardi looks great!

??

?
It was a slow start, glad I stayed up. I would’ve been mad as hell being woken up with all this noise

She’s moving product, topping the charts, has the desired demo, MAJOR crossover appeal, fashionable, charismatic , the non-intimidating sexy, dumb, Latina persona, like Sofia Vargara (one of the highest paid women on network television)!

Reality TV, the Kardashians, and other pop-cult sensations (Youtubers), paved the way for Cardi B’s meteoric rise!

90s and 2000s artists had to do way more for much less!

The last artist, I recall browning up like this was Lady Gaga, and she still did more having a multiplatium album, Bad Romance!

I’m sure she can act, look out for an Oscar buzz! YES, she is loved by some or many Hollywood movers and shakers, just being paired with Steve Carrell speaks volume or the plans for her future!

A commercial with her aired? Didn’t know until this blog. Anywho, this game was BORING. Grateful for for friends, good food and drinks.

Only in America...

Pepsi has put out better super bowl commercials

Never knew that

You didn't miss anything trust me

I must be the only person in America who has never watched a Superbowl game. I think football is so boring. But congrats to Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Sandra, can we get something on Atlanta's post-game parties? Any other rappers get arrested?

I stopped watching the Super Bowl when Janet's titty flopped out of her corset.

I never heard of Steve Carrell until today.

I didn't watch the game for a variety of reasons. Plus I can't stand the Patriots. Sundays are my wash days, so all I did today was do my hair and binge-watched Breaking Bad. Anyway, Cardi's wig is LAID in these shots.

Who declared the commercial was offensive lol. It's not even trending.

People mad at Big Boi for doing half time show and not standing in solidarity with Kaep, but they are the same ones throwing superbowl and tail gate parties.

Meek got mad at travis for performing , but he was front and center at the superbowl party. Cardi refused to perform at halftime but did a private superbowl party SMH.

Talk is cheap

Among the white mainstream. Not in urban circles

Come on now, Sandy. Are you telling me you never heard of The Office? It was a huge British hit before being remade here (with Steve Carrell in the Ricky Gervais role).

Ok, that explains everything. I didnt realize she was with CAA, the most powerful agency in the world.

Girl! for real.. did laundry, cooked, cleaned the house and took a nap..#whatsuperbowl...#imwithkap... and ready for the week?

All the black players shouldn't be playing then.. same shit..u performing vs playing?

Omgosh I did laundry too ! Entertained some company and he brought me dinner. F*ck that game. I needed some me time. Lol

Why?? They work they whole life for this, the NFL ain’t shot one black person, if anything they have Brought black men out the hood and kept them from getting shot... put that energy where it belongs, the police station.. the NFL ain’t got nothing to do with police shootings.. they don’t even use the police themselves.. they use FBI agents to travel with the teams..

KP watched the super bowl though... you with him, but he ain’t with you..

They still owned it don’t matter what kind of money they make... That’s why they end up dead when they refuse to go on tour or want to quit... the labels still expect to make money off of them, alive, dead, gone, rich or broke.. So if the NFL said we want Rihanna and we will to give you x amount of $$$ her label would’ve produced her or she would be dead..

Them record labels are the mafia, once you signed that contract, you pretty much joined the drug cartel.

Whaaaat? Both are huge stars.

I watched the super bowl which was deathly boring and so were the commercials!! They showed that commercial probably once or twice...there use to be a time when watching the super bowl was mad fun because of the commercials anthems and halftimes! And i detest sports. But now..its just .increasingly boring and no originality or credible quality performances.....this game sucked so bad its as if the rams gave up immediately....

One thing ppl don’t understand is male Entertainers, especially rappers have always been jealous of football players

Athletes make more money in a shorter period, look better, taller, get more girls and don’t have to sale they soul or suck D—k to get it...

So to me the rappers are just taking this opportunity to try and stop the athletes shine...

When they protest Warner brothers and Sony, then I will take them serious...

Internationally, very much. The rest of the world loves dance music.

Most superbowl games are boring. Only a handful within the past 11 years have been competitive.

All of the commercials were trash and so isTrump.

So you know him huh? ..well I dont need him to be..what I do have is integrity ..now run along 11pink123ltgbq..foh...

Cardi B co-starring with Sofia Vegara would be Box Office GOLD.

You are not alone, I’m sure! Probably why they paired the two.

Steve Carrell is in the midst of a reboot of a very popular sitcom, “The Office”...40 Year Old Virgin, Date Night, and the Big Short made me a fan!

Speak for yourself ..all I needed to hear was "sons of bitches, all I had to see was Eric garner choked out, all I could do was not participate...you don't know me .. never a follower.. hence no twitter.. the Agenda is to keep the black family separated, divided and sleeping .so talk that talk to someone who actually doesn't read and gets all of their news from the media..now as this post started..I had an awesome Sunday..hope you did too..

Goodnight

What does any of that have to do with the NFL?

You know they like a decade behind ?

Or a really great investor. You pump enough money into any entity and you too can create a star. When the investors funds dry up, so will Cardis fame

Really? Because they announced during the super bowl that Adam was donating the $500k that they paid him to the boys n girls club.

The super bowl was boring because the Rams were playing.. If the Pats were playing the Cowboys, Saints or Seahawks or something, it would’ve been lit..

Rams have no super stars on the team...They don’t have loyal fans cause they just moved here and the joy of them going was shattered cause the refs was caught cheating.

Rams has a young inexperienced team compared to the Patriots...

It did not take rocket science to know it wasn’t going to be a competitive game...

Also it was more about the white boys this game, no black standout superstars this game, maybe the NFL is low key trying to be funny and make a point... . It would be real funny if they stop drafting niggaz...?. What would you do if you were in there shoes?

I'm gonna erase it and watch halftime on YouTube

The sitcom “the office” on nbc? Cmon Sandra

The NFL like any business also depends on good will of its branding for success and the good will of it's branding has taken a hit. Morale IS own and low morale translates to lower profit. That is a universal business principle.

Most people don't care about racism to the extent of protesting, white and black, but when KP took his cause to the level of addressing unethical NFL employment policies and targeting and blacklisting whistleblowers, his protest traversed race.

He has placed the NFL into question and that is a successful protest and not good for business. To have artists turn down the Superbowl Halftime is an indicator for the NFL to re-evaluate.

Because there's nothing to get. Fake News.

dont care about KAP, and it was a defensive game.rams QB shut down by BELLICHEAT. fake fans were bored by this but they dont know football so they say stupid comments like the nfl is rigged. dont watch halftime show because its not football. never cared about halftime shows.

No wonder they are not going after her then ! He would have destroyed them if they tried to trademark it or his fans would have . He is unbothered I’m sure by Cardi. I am not sure how much longer she had if she doesn’t really pull all this together and it expand at the same time .

What's racist about it? I'm asking the "fake" woke Black people....

All i noticed was the 666 “a-ok” sign steve did I

I liked the commercial it was cute.

Cardi-B & Jon had little to no lines... and got paid!

I'm going to guess it's racist cause it's showing 2 blk people "butchering" / speaking incorrect English. But I just think we make English cooler when we put our own spin on things. Like Jay Z has said we ARE the culture. WE move the culture forward. OKURRRR!

Thank you for clearing that up Fatty!!

People were coming for meek about that and he cleared it up

#Fakenews

Nothing out of the ordinary to see here just some regular cooning for $$$$.

half time show was borrrriiingggg AF.....

Shut up

Me too. I caught that.. good eye.

so we ignoring the fact that mercedes benz stadium is next to the Coca Cola factory and Pepsi made all the commercials.

It wasn't as racist...it was just jigaboo and caricature-like..I feel the same way about Cardi like I do Tiffany Haddish..they both perpetuate the stereotype that we aren't anything but neck rollin' eye poppin' birds...but Im an honest hoe and I cant hate on the coinage that Cardi got from Pepsi just for clicking her tongue...

i was wondering the same thing...i asked my hubby was it against the rule for Coca Cola to advertise this year?

same as the game......BORING!

It was stupid but it wasn't racist.

That song is old as dust!

I know, but the NFL needed Big Boi's energy to pull off the super bowl being that was an Alantan.

Stay tuned. We still have a few more mass rituals to get through. The Grammys are this weekend followed by the Oscars.

Lol...getting paper..

Corny commercial. Steve looks good. I miss The Office.

She got it from the Kardashians. Why I even know this is truly a problem for me

Girl, i kept waiting for the coloreds to return and save the show.

Never... but you should.. I know In cali the NFL has taken a lot of men that would be shot or dead out the hood and gave them a chance nobody else would... including men in my family.. so I’m sorry I’m not on bored.. they ain’t shot nobody... and they don’t even mess with the police themselves...The NFL uses FBI agents and military... if they ever use police it’s for security in the stadium. Never for the team.

I still watch the reruns on Netflix. Hilarious!!!!

Everyone had their own way of saying "ok" what's wrong with that. If they had said it on different languages, would they consider that racist too IJS

Corny arse commercial, that didn't seem to have a racist undertone.

I want a bedazzled Pepsi can like the one in this commercial , it’s so pretty.

Pepsi sponsors the NFL...

Oh wow.. thanks for that information.

Yes, he is aging nicely. He looks like a grown man now.?

Really, how is this racist?

Lol @ clicking tongue

Black ppl fight with they mouth and fist. White ppl fight with money and power.

Please don’t think because they are not loud about there response, they are not responding. Don’t be surprised when less black men get drafted this year.. or less highschool players get less scholarships. Don’t fall into the trap Satan has set in front of you..

I agree that today's football is boring. I lived for football back in the '80s when the Dallas Cowboys were America's team. I was a huge fan of Tony Dorsett. I played pool with U of M quarterback Vinny Testaverde in the Rathskeller at the University of Miami. Life was good back then - before the NCAA and the NFL changed the rules and made the game boring and unwatchable.

Don't see nothing racist about it. Nothing to see here people. Cardi cleans up REAL nice tho.

Racist where????

Yes, there probably will be more in the next coming weeks hopefully it isn't an elder.

Lol! I didn't what want the heck was going on with that one. Lol!?

No Racist ! THEY have their own way of saying OK and as unique as we are ....Mr. Office does not have one !! Get pay gifted people of color

It's a stupid commercial but still, I look at Coke and Pepsi and they both black, OK.

I just said it has nothing to do with the NFL or the anthem. Learn how to comprehend what you read, troll.

Coca-Cola did not waste money on advertising when Pepsi is the official beverage sponsor of the NFL. As such, their contract has an exclusivity clause limiting advertising from Pepsi's competitors during NFL events.

The good ol days...

Well then what are you talking about?? My only point is the NFL ain’t got nothing to do with anything... so why would you keep protesting against them... and I don’t take grown men serious that use the word troll... So if looking for a response from me speak like a man.

If banning the super bowl why not ban every event associated with it?? Just asking...

Somehow, Pepsi ads always manage to bring the suck. Cardi B manages to be creepy AF, and look like a dude, through most of it. I realize people are going to have catchphrases, and that languages evolve as they always have. Even so, English seems more doomed by the day.

Where is the explanation of how people feel this commercial is racist? I don't see it myself, but do try to see both sides.
