Celeb News This Week: Cardi B Hilariously Outbids Herself at Diamond Ball Auction, Spends $111K On Rihanna’s New Book
It appears Rihanna is greatly admired by Cardi B. While at the star’s 5th annual Diamond Ball on Thursday night, the “I Like It” rapper, 26, hilariously outbid herself during the charity auction portion of the evening while trying to buy an exclusive signed copy of Rihanna‘s upcoming coffee table book. Initially, the New York rapper whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, bid $106K on the designer table top book, even though the auctioneer had asked for $110K. After another bidder rang in at $107K, the singer upped her bid to $108K before bidding a final $111K — $1,000 more than the auctioneer had asked for.
“Do you know how this works?” the auctioneer joked, but Cardi — who attended the event with husband Offset — appeared unbothered and celebrated with her hands in the air as she won the coffee table book.
Truth be told, the rapper and Hustlers star looked absolutely stunning in a tiered, light pink gown, while Rihanna wore a black Givenchy Haute Couture mermaid dress, red lipstick and pearl earrings.
