Charli XCX reveals Cardi B called her Charli STD on Twitter: ‘I felt honored’ | HO
Charli XCX said she was ‘honored’ after Cardi B mistakenly called her Charli STD on Twitter.
The Boom Clap singer, 29, revealed on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that Cardi accidentally tagged her as ‘Charli STD’ after tweeting about their 2018 song Girls.
‘We did a song together with Rita Ora and Bebe Rexha, and it was one of those scenarios where we never met when we made the song, and we shot the music video separately, and we were sending verses and whatever, and then she tweets the song and I’m like, “Oh my god Cardi B tweeted my name, this is huge!” And then I check the tag, and instead of “Charli XCX” it’s “Charli STD,”‘ Charli explained on the show.

Charli also remarked that the incident was not the only time that the I Like It rapper had written out her stage name incorrectly.
