AceShowbiz - In the wake of Donald Trump's controversial 2024 U.S. presidential election victory, reactions have flooded social media platforms, stirring widespread discussions. Among the most talked-about responses is that of rapper Cardi B, who has been a fervent supporter of Kamala Harris throughout her campaign journey.
Cardi B, who joined Harris on the campaign trail, immediately took to social media to voice her disappointment as early results indicated a Trump win. "We need a Hail Mary," she tweeted, signaling her hope for a last-minute turnaround. She further expressed her frustration through an Instagram Story captioned, "I hate y'all bad," reflecting her discontent with the election results.
The rapper didn't stop there. In a now-deleted video, Cardi implied that some states were hit with hurricanes due to their support for Trump. She declared, "This is why some of y'all states be getting hurricanes." It is unclear why Cardi chose to delete the video, though it might have been due to backlash or concerns over the intensity of her remarks.
After deleting the video, Cardi B released a heartening statement in support of Kamala Harris, commending her for running a campaign marked by honesty and integrity.
"To Vice President Kamala, no matter what they've said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency they can never say you didn't run your race with honesty and with integrity!" her statement read. Cardi continued to highlight Harris's relentless spirit, "You really wanted better for ALL of us! This may not mean much but I am so proud of you! No one has ever made me change my mind and you did!"
Cardi's message resonated on multiple levels, particularly as she addressed the challenges faced by women of color in politics. "I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, showed my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible. Thank you for being an example," she added.
Her vocal support for Harris previously attracted criticism from X CEO Elon Musk, who labeled her a "puppet" for her participation in Harris' rally. Cardi snapped back, asserting her narrative of resilience against systemic challenges, "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."
This fervent defense of her position underscores Cardi B's dedication to advocating for those marginalized by systemic inequities, making her an influential voice in contemporary political discourse. As the nation continues to digest the results of the 2024 election, it's clear that voices like Cardi B's will not be easily silenced.
