Haji, who used to drive 200 miles from his Delaware home to see his niece and her family in the Bronx, tells TMZ … Cardi is an angel and his family can’t thank her enough for what she’s done.
He says it’s a huge help to his family to not bear the financial burden … and he’s sending Cardi blessings for stepping up to help so many people she’s never met.
As we reported, the inferno engulfed a 19-story apartment building in the Bronx earlier this month, killing 9 adults and 8 children — the city’s deadliest fire in more than 3 decades.
Cardi, a Bronx native, vowed to cover funeral expenses and worked with NYC Mayor Eric Adams‘ office to make it happen.
Haji says he got word of Cardi’s gift from Mayor Adams’ people — and had no idea, initially, the rapper was their benefactor.
