Cardi B got emotional while speaking about the devastating tragedy that claimed over 100 lives inside the Jet Set nightclub in the Dominican Republic.

"I’m in literal tears scrolling down my timeline seeing my Dominican people being rescued some wit lives and some gone," she wrote. "I’m sad seeing families crying desperately in pain looking for love ones... I feel like every Dominican around the world is in a big hora Santa praying for survivors and praying for the ones that are gone to be in Gods Glory."
"For the people who lost a family or a friend don’t have bad memories they left this earth singing and dancing and most likely happy and enjoying themselves and that’s how the lord will receive them," she continued. "Its so heartbreaking to see one of our iconic artist Ruby Perez leave in such a tragic way.Im glad tho our final memory of him was him sharing his beautiful voice to us ..Sang one last time."
Hundreds of citizens, government officials and revered athletes were inside Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo on Monday night to see veteran Merengue artist Rubby Pérez perform live. Cell phone footage taken inside the nightclub showed the moment when the entire roof collapsed.
