While the artist did not seem to care at the airport, she is currently facing controversy over the composition of her latest single, Up.
A video was also posted on the composer’s official YouTube account the day before its official release on Friday.
Shortly after Up’s premiere, New Jersey rappers Mir Pesos and Mir Fontaine called Cardi on Twitter and claimed he had broken his Stuck track, released in September last year.
Mir Pesos also posted a video with the two songs, in an attempt to show the similarities in the musical form they shared.
The caption for his post read “@iamcardib we want my money”.

The composer later went on Twitter to explain his feelings about the situation and responded to a fan who was worried about Up’s originality.
“If I was inspired by a song, I wouldn’t mind giving a percentage or a few thousand, but I never doubt if this man. I’m happy while recording this song in August, I was playing with the hook of this live, ‘ she wrote in part.
