Cardi B has gone on an expletive-laden rant after Donald Trump claimed victory in the U.S. election.
The “WAP” hitmaker was left furious after the Republican painted the states of North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Florida and Iowa red. She fumed that she will “f— up” Trump’s supporters.
“I swear to god I’m gonna f— you up, get away from me! I’m sick of you! Burn [your] f—— hats mother——-. I’m really sad. I swear to god I’m really sad.” she raged on her Instagram Live as Trump grew closer to a win.
The rapper said she wasn’t going to vote in the election, but Vice President Kamala Harris “changed her mind.”
“No matter what, I know that she’s probably emotional right now. I know there’s probably a lot going on in her mind. … I know she’s not listening to this, but she will eventually see it,” she continued praising the Democrat. “I just hope she knows no matter what happens tonight, millions of people are proud of her. Women around the world are proud of her. Women of color are proud of her.”
Cardi praised Vice President Harris and said she should be “proud” of herself, branding it one of the “most unforgettable elections.”
“Y’all, I know how I felt at the beginning of the f—— year, I didn’t want to vote for anybody. She changed my mind, I feel like she was very honest and said the things I wanted to hear,” the rap superstar continued. “When I look at her face and she was talking to me, I thought she was very genuine and not playing any f—— games. She had 100 days to do all of this and she woke this nation up. I feel there was a lot of things that went wrong last year, and they kept her too much in the background.”
“I’m proud of her, and I hope she’s proud of herself no matter what happens tonight,” she stated. “This is one of the most unforgettable elections and I love her. I don’t say I love a lot of people, y’all know that. Because I hate everybody.”
Cardi’s rant comes after Elon Musk branded her one of Kamala’s “puppets.”
The billionaire businessman accused the music star of being “fed words” when she was giving a speech at the Democrat’s rally at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center on Nov. 1 and had an awkward wait when her teleprompter broke.
“Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words. The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy,” Musk wrote on X with a reposted video of Cardi at the rally.
Cardi swiftly defended herself and accused the Tesla boss of “knowing nothing” about the “American struggle.”
“I’m not a puppet Elon … I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare; I’m a product of section 8; I’m a product of poverty, and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you … But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle,” she responded.
“P.S. Fix my algorithm,” she then quipped.
The “WAP” hitmaker’s speech went on for around 10 minutes, and she ended up reading from her smartphone.
The outspoken artist — whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar — has consistently used her platform for political activism throughout her career. Before achieving mainstream success, Cardi B worked as a stripper in New York, using social media to build her following and eventually landing a spot on “Love & Hip Hop: New York.”
Her journey from financial hardship to becoming the first female rapper to achieve multiple diamond-certified songs demonstrates her understanding of the American struggle she referenced in her response to Musk.
Her political engagement isn’t new; she previously conducted noteworthy interviews with Bernie Sanders and has been vocal about social issues affecting working-class Americans. This advocacy — combined with her artistic achievements, including winning the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2019 with Invasion of Privacy — has positioned her as more than just an entertainer but as a voice for social change.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker’s recent political statements align with her history of being transparent about her experiences, whether discussing her humble beginnings, her journey through the entertainment industry or her openness about personal choices, including her experiences with plastic surgery and body image.
This authenticity has resonated with millions of followers who relate to her direct communication style and unapologetic approach to addressing both personal and political issues.
