Charles Barkley is openly daring his bosses to let him go after his recent unfiltered comments about Cardi B. On a Wednesday appearance on Fox Sports Radio, Fox News reported that he joked about his contract status with ESPN. “I’m hoping they fire me,” Barkley said. “I got six or seven years left on my contract that they know I got no chance of doing. I would love for them to fire me and have to pay me for the next six or seven years.”
This past Monday, Cardi B performed at the halftime show in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. Mid performance, Barkley is recorded saying, “I don’t know if those are B’s. They might be Cardi D’s,” before adding, “I’m pretty sure those aren’t B’s. She’s got the wrong initials.”
