Rapper Cardi B has openly criticized President Biden's handling of the economy, citing high inflation and a perceived lack of action. Her remarks follow a previous endorsement of Biden in 2020 and reflect growing disillusionment with his presidency.
Amid ongoing economic challenges, rapper Cardi B has expressed deep frustration with President Biden's leadership and the rising cost of living. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Cardi B stated that she feels "betrayed" by Biden's performance and has been left reconsidering her support for him.
"I feel like people got betrayed," she said, pointing to the high cost of living and a perceived lack of action from the administration. "It's just like, damn, y'all not caring about nobody."
Cardi B, who previously endorsed Biden in 2020, criticized the administration's handling of inflation, citing the significant increase in grocery prices. "Lettuce was like $2 a couple months ago and now it's like f---ing $7, of course I'm [going to] say something. The f---?" she exclaimed.
The rapper also raised concerns about the government's foreign policy, expressing opposition to funding for Ukraine and Israel in their conflicts with Russia and Hamas. She argued that the United States should prioritize addressing domestic issues rather than engaging in foreign interventions.
"There's countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [U.S.] won't benefit from that country, they won't help," she said. "I don't like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience."
Cardi B's remarks echo growing dissatisfaction among many Americans with the Biden administration's handling of the economy. Recent polls have shown Trump leading Biden in several key battleground states, indicating that Biden faces a challenging reelection bid in 2024.
The rapper's comments have sparked a debate about the role of celebrities in politics and the extent to which they should use their platforms to voice their opinions. Some have praised Cardi B for speaking out on issues that affect many Americans, while others have criticized her for injecting herself into political discussions.
Regardless of one's perspective, Cardi B's remarks underscore the deep economic concerns and political divisions that continue to shape the American landscape. As the 2024 election approaches, her message is likely to resonate with many voters who are seeking solutions to pressing economic challenges.
