Saturday, Cardi B took to Twitter to declare that she would be filing for Nigerian citizenship as a safety measure in the event that total war broke out between Iran and the United States

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman of Nigeria’s diaspora commission, reacted to Bardi’s post. 

“@iamcardib As one in charge of the Diaspora for Ngr, We can’t wait to receive you again,” she posted. “Our doors are open, sister. And you need to talk a walk through the Door of Return in Badagry. It’s an indescribable experience.”

The personal assistant to Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, used the opportunity to jokingly settle the Nigeria vs Ghana rivalry. “Nigeria vs Ghana, case closed,” he tweeted. 

 Cardi also added that she would be picking her tribe.
