American rapper Cardi B has sent love to the Dominican Republic following the recent collapse of the Jet Set nightclub roof in Santo Domingo. The tragic incident killed at least 66 people dead and more than 160 injured at the time it was reported.

On Tuesday 8th, in an Instagram post, the rapper born by a Dominican father wrote “I’m in literal tears scrolling down my timeline seeing my Dominican people being rescued some wit lives and some gone,” she wrote. “l’m sad seeing families crying desperately in pain looking for love ones ..I feel like every Dominican around the world is in a big hora Santa praying for survivors and praying for the ones that are gone to be in Gods Glory. For the people who lost a family or a friend don’t have bad memories they left this earth singing and dancing and most likely happy and enjoying themselves and that’s how the lord will receive them.”

Honouring and paying her last respect to merengue singer Rubby Pérez, who reportedly died when the roof collapsed roughly an hour into his midnight performance at the club, Cardi wrote “Its so heartbreaking to see one of our iconic artist [Rubby] Perez leave in such a tragic way,” she wrote. “I’m glad tho our final memory of him was him sharing his beautiful voice to us ..Sang one last time .I want my fans to pray for those who was in that building last night ❤️💙”

Anyone seeking updates on missing loved ones has been asked by Dominican officials to contact the Center of Emergency Operations in Santo Domingo.
