Rapper Cardi B pledged to cover funeral costs for victims of the Bronx fire, New York City’s deadliest blaze in three decades.
The Bronx native said she would also pay repatriation expenses for some victims buried in Gambia through a fund set up by Mayor Eric Adams. The Bronx Fire Relief Fund has raised $2.5 million to help the families of the dozens of people injured and the 17 people who died in the fire.
