Cardi B sounded off on Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's plan to reopen some businesses in his state, including gyms, barbershops and nail salons, on Friday.
The governor, as well as his counterparts in Tennessee and South Carolina, have all announced plans to reopen their states to small businesses with light guidelines to address the worldwide pandemic. In a recent press briefing, President Donald Trump noted that he “disagrees strongly” with Kemp’s decision.

She warned of people in her new home state could die “by yourself in a cold hospital” as medical centers across the country continue to crack down on visitors in order to curtail the spread of the virus.

HEALTH OVER CAPITALISM!”
Kemp previously defended his decision to reopen his state, arguing that increased testing and data shows social distancing measures aren’t necessary, despite what health experts far and wide are saying.

"Given the favorable data, enhanced testing, and approval of our healthcare professionals, we will allow gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools and massage therapists to reopen their doors this Friday," Kemp previously said of reopening his state.
