“Carol you think you slick b*tch,” Cardi B tweeted while watching TigerKing

On Thursday night, Cardi B live-tweeted her viewing of Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, the new Netflix docuseries about Joe Exotic, a flamboyant, poly, exotic cat wrangler and zoo-owner in Oklahoma with a stupendous, bleached-blond mullet, who was arrested several years ago for his involvement in a murder for hire scheme.
But once she fully applied herself to unpacking the Tiger King universe, she quickly developed strong opinions about the events and characters depicted therein. Specifically about Carole Baskin, the founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue, and Joe Exotic’s nemesis, whose second husband disappeared years ago under mysterious circumstances.Like the most successful critics, though, Cardi didn’t just impose her own interpretations on the reader.
She also elevated the work of other creators, retweeting this unsettling yet weirdly beautiful Photoshop mashup of her face and Joe Exotic’s — a subtle yet powerful reminder that great art should challenge the viewer. Currently, the 2020 Pulitzer finalists are scheduled to be announced in April. Hopefully, the board will not overlook this powerful, emerging voice in cultural criticism.
