New York rapper Cardi B might be the key to slowly getting Snapchat the looks it once had. The hip-hop newcomer has come through with a big salute to the social media giant.
Cardi went to her Instagram page Saturday (March 24) to show her video and pic platform some love.

Earlier this month, a report claimed Snapchat’s stock sunk after getting ripped by R&B star Rihanna over an insensitive ad it ran.
Shares of Snap plunged as much as 5 percent to session lows on Thursday after Rihanna instructed her 60.9 million Instagram followers to delete the app. It’s the second time in a month an A-lister has done some serious damage to Snap’s market capitalization. The company’s shares plunged as much as 5 percent, knocking $600 million off the market capitalization. (CNBC)

Recently, Snapchat issued an apology for allowing the disturbing commercial to run on its app.
Snap told Newsbeat the advert, which was only published in the US, was published “in error” and had been removed immediately. Snap said: “The advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines. We immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware.” “We are sorry that this happened,” it added. (BBC)
Is it just me, or is this ad that popped up on my Snapchat extremely tone deaf? Like what were they thinking with this? pic.twitter.com/7kP9RHcgNG

Just awful. Awful that anyone thinks this is funny. Awful that anyone thinks this is appropriate. Awful that any company would approve this. Thank you Brittany for calling this out.
