Cardi B, the American rapper, has criticized Brian Szacs, the stepson of British billionaire Hamish Harding, who is currently missing aboard the missing Titan submersible. Brian attended a Blink-182 concert in San Diego instead of being with his family during this difficult time. Harding is one of five people stuck 13,000 feet under the ocean in the missing OceanGate’s submersible vessel.
Cardi B expressed dissatisfaction with Brian’s decision of enjoying a concert instead of being with his family during this family crisis. She denounced his insensitivity and wrote on her Instagram account that he should be at home, feeling sad instead of attending concerts. Brian later tweeted his own defense of going to the concert as a coping mechanism.
The private company that operates the submersible vessel, OceanGate Expeditions, has stated that it is exploring all options to rescue its occupants. The submersible went missing off the coast of southeastern Canada on Monday, while taking tourists to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. The submersible was reportedly capable of being submerged for 96 hours.
The incident remains ongoing, with ongoing search and rescue efforts taking place.
