"This doesn’t warrant any sort of lawsuit tbf “ mercychinwo for church but for club na cardi B” this lyrics is only referring to girls who act holy in church and are something else outside the church. If anybody needs to file for a lawsuit it should be cardi B as she is the one portrayed as the bad lady in the song.‍♂️‍♂️"
