Cardi B made a direct statement to supporters of Donald Trump following his victory in the 2024 presidential election. The rapper, who had vocally supported his opponent Kamala Harris throughout the campaign, shared her frustration on social media, warning Trump’s followers to stay away from her. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Cardi expressed her displeasure at the outcome and made it clear that she was not interested in engaging with Trump supporters. Her message, delivered in her signature candid style, quickly gained attention as part of a larger response from celebrities who voiced their dismay at Trump’s return to the White House.
Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper known for her outspoken views on politics and social issues, has once again made headlines with her reaction to the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. After Donald Trump was declared the winner, Cardi, who had strongly supported Kamala Harris and criticized Trump’s policies throughout the campaign, posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) addressing the Republican president’s supporters. The video, filmed as she walked through a Target parking lot, quickly went viral.
“Listen, I’mma let y’all know this right now,” Cardi began in the video, speaking directly to Trump’s supporters. “So you know, Trumpettes, y’all won, I know y’all happy,” she continued, acknowledging Trump’s victory.
“Ain’t nobody acting like they’re the losers. However, y’all need to leave me the f–k alone. Because I got one more f–king cigarette in me before I start lighting your asses up. Aight?”
Cardi, known for her bold and unfiltered style, then ended the message with a final statement: “And that’s word to the United States of motherf–king America.” The video, as expected, caught the attention of her millions of followers and stirred up a range of reactions. While many of Cardi’s fans supported her right to express frustration, others criticized her sharp language and attitude toward Trump’s victory.
This message from Cardi B is just the latest in a series of posts where the rapper has voiced her thoughts on the election and its aftermath. In addition to her pointed warning to Trump’s voters, Cardi also posted a heartfelt message on social media directed at Kamala Harris. She praised the Vice President for her integrity and the honest approach she took during her presidential run. “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!” Cardi wrote. “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 to Harris came as part of a broader response from celebrities who expressed disappointment at Trump’s win. Stars like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Bette Midler, and Ethel Cain have all taken to social media to share their feelings of disheartenment and frustration following the election results. Cardi’s earlier post on Instagram Stories, where she wrote “I hate y’all bad,” further signaled her strong emotions toward the outcome.
The rapper has been a vocal supporter of Harris for some time. Even before Harris officially joined the race, Cardi expressed her admiration for the Vice President, saying that the Democratic Party should have passed the torch to her. Throughout the election cycle, Cardi continued to back Harris, using her platform to encourage others to support her, especially after Harris became the Democratic nominee. During one of Harris’ final rallies in Milwaukee, Cardi spoke at length about their shared experiences as underdogs who overcame adversity, stating, “Like Kamala Harris, I’ve been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled.”
Cardi B’s outspoken political engagement isn’t new, as she has been a strong voice in the fight for social justice and has never shied away from voicing her opinions on key political matters. While her support for Harris and criticism of Trump have drawn both praise and backlash, Cardi has consistently used her platform to engage with her audience on the issues that matter to her, even when it means stirring controversy.
In contrast, the political landscape in the U.S. remains sharply divided following Trump’s win. On November 6, Kamala Harris, in a tearful speech at her alma mater, Howard University, conceded the election to Trump. She told the crowd, “Sometimes the fight takes a while — that doesn’t mean we won’t win,” and urged supporters to remain committed to the cause, saying, “This is not a time to throw up our hands — this is a time to roll up our sleeves.” Despite the defeat, Harris’ message of resilience and hope resonated with many, including Cardi B, who took to social media to share her admiration for the Vice President’s strength and determination.
While Cardi B’s latest comments have sparked debate, they highlight the intense emotions surrounding the 2024 election. The rapper’s blunt, unapologetic remarks reflect the broader frustration felt by many who opposed Trump’s return to power. As the country moves forward, Cardi’s words are a reminder of the power of celebrity voices in shaping political discourse, particularly as the nation continues to grapple with divisions over leadership and ideology.
