Day seven of quarantine: People are remixing anything and everything out of boredom. But this particular track really did make it to the charts.
A week ago, rapper Cardi B posted a quick rant on Instagram about how Coronavirus is starting to get a little too real. “I ain’t fronting, let me tell you something—a bitch is scared,” she said on the video. The star of the video is her saying “Coronavirus!” in a way only Cardi B can. Here’s the video to refresh your memory:
Now since everyone’s stuck at home and looking for something to do, a producer named DJ iMarkkeyz sampled Cardi B’s video and turned it into a whole banger.
Cardi B heard about the song and reposted it on her socials, and the whole thing suddenly skyrocketed up the charts. Now, Cardi wants royalties off the song. “Hold on ..let me hit the Dj up and Atlantic so I can’t get my damn coins ????” Cardi said on the post.
As of writing, the song is now at 8th place on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap charts and 69th on the overall charts. It even made it to the speakers of a club somewhere in Rio De Janeiro.
And now, there’s another remix by “Taki Taki” producer, DJ Snake. Is this a new genre now?
