As the 2024 U.S. presidential election results continue to pour in, the Grammy-winning rapper has once again captured public attention, this time with her politically charged commentary that has ignited both support and criticism across social media
- Nov 6, 2024
AceShowbiz - Cardi B, the renowned rapper, recently reacted to the news that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was trailing behind Republican nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. election results. Cardi, a vocal Harris supporter, penned a message on X, stating, "We need a Hail Mary," expressing concern and hope.
In a since-deleted video on X, Cardi also commented, "This is why some of y'all states be getting hurricanes," a cryptic allusion to states that had shown early leads for Trump, including those often impacted by hurricanes. The post was met with mixed reactions, with some supporting her bold statement while others criticized the perceived jab.
Cardi's political involvement has drawn attention and controversy. CEO Elon Musk, a Trump backer, criticized her campaign involvement after a video surfaced showing her reading a speech from her phone due to a teleprompter glitch. Musk labeled Cardi a "puppet," questioning her campaign's authenticity. Cardi countered, asserting that she is not a puppet but the daughter of immigrant parents who have struggled and knows the American struggle.
Before Election Day, Cardi had publicly endorsed Harris and attended a campaign rally in Wisconsin, where she emphasized her belief in Harris' leadership and empathy. Cardi's personal story and her vocal support for Harris have resonated with many, underscoring her alignment with Harris on issues of representation and resilience.
