Has Cardi B embraced being a social media food critic à la Keith Lee? The “Bodak Yellow” rapper took to TikTok to share her first experience eating balut, a cooked bird egg embryo.
“I’ve been seeing this for a long time—it’s called Balut,” Cardi B explained to her 24 million TikTok followers. She even referenced Keith Lee by saying, “I got it, let’s try it and rate it from one to ten.”
The Grammy Award winner consumed Nexium and Pepto Bismol before beginning her on-camera taste test. Cardi B also added lemon and salt to the common street food from Asian countries like the Philippines and Vietnam.
“No, I don’t like it,” Cardi B exclaimed after tasting the Balut. She added, “It literally tastes, to me, like an uncooked chicken. I don’t know. It was too gamey for me.”

The 31-year-old Bronx native also said, “Yeah, I’m a ghetto-a## b####. I still eat my s### well done. I don’t even like rare steak. But the liquid it has inside, it was good.”
In addition to trying new cuisines on TikTok, Cardi B has her fans expecting a new album soon. She recently released the Missy Elliott-inspired promotional single, “Like What (Freestyle,)” on March 1.
