“It was a lot of people inside the store,” Hameed Al Halimi, who works at the deli, said. “Everyone was dancing in the street. It’s a beautiful day because Cardi B came in the store.”

The rapper, who announced the event on Instagram, bought almost 200 sandwiches and nearly 300 drinks for everyone outside, the deli worker said.

“She bought everyone her favorite sandwich — honey Turkey provolone with tomato and mayo,” Halimi said.
