Video games collaborating with superstars are nothing new. Big games like Cyberpunk, Fortnite, Death Stranding, and many more have featured massive Hollywood stars and musical artists before. And Call of Duty is no exception in this field. Massive actors like Jeff Goldblum and Michael Keaton have joined the CoD cast before. 

But this time CoD tried a different approach by asking one of the biggest female rappers, Cardi B for a collaboration. Fans were beyond ecstatic hearing this news. However, Cardi B announced on her Twitter that she has lost the Call of Duty deal because of some “stupid mistakes” of the past. 

Why did Cardi B lose the Call of Duty Deal?

Call of Duty is a massive franchise, pulling in billions of dollars of revenue each year. Each new release arguably becomes the best-selling game of its respective year. Their marketing campaigns are also on par with their reputation. They pull in big athletes, movie stars, online content creators, and popstars for their marketing campaigns or to feature in their games.
