Rapper Cardi B took to Instagram on Tuesday night to comment on the stepson of one of the missing people onboard the Titanic tourist submersible attending a concert.

Brian Szasz, whose stepfather is billionaire Hamish Harding, one of the five people on the missing vessel, reportedly attended a Blink-182 concert in San Diego, as search and rescue efforts intensified.

Szasz defended his actions on social media, reportedly writing in a now-deleted Facebook post, “It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the Blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times.”

Cardi B appeared to take issue with his attendance, posting a video to her Instagram story calling Szasz out for going to the show.

“You supposed to be at the house sad. You supposed to be crying for me, you supposed to be right next to the phone waiting to hear any updates about me,” she said.

Szasz took to Twitter to respond to the rapper.

“I went to a Blink 182 concert for coping rather than sitting at home and watching the news,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

The submersible Harding is aboard lost contact with its mothership an hour and 45 minutes into a dive toward the wreck of the RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean on Sunday.

The situation immediately became dire. It’s estimated the vessel, named the Titan and operated by OceanGate Expeditions, will run out of oxygen by Thursday morning. A massive search and rescue mission remains underway, with the location of the vessel still unknown.

Harding is onboard the vessel alongside Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Sulaiman, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet and the CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush.
