When Cardi B stepped onto the stage at Kamala Harris’s rally in Milwaukee, things didn’t go as planned. The teleprompter broke, momentarily leaving the rap star at a loss for words. This mishap, however, was quickly picked up by Elon Musk, who ridiculed her on X, suggesting that she was merely a ‘puppet’ unable to speak without scripted help.
Elon’s comment sparked a quick and fierce rebuttal from Cardi. She confidently stated, “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 response showcases Cardi’s pride in her roots and fortitude in the face of adversity.
Cardi also addressed allegations that she was financially incentivized to support Harris. ‘I did not get paid a dollar for this… I actually been talking about these topics for the past couple years FOR FREE on ALL my platforms!!’ she insisted on social media, dispelling the rumors with conviction.
During her speech at the rally, Cardi took a swipe at Donald Trump, criticizing his policies on women’s rights. She compared him to a ‘hustler,’ yet distinguished herself by suggesting that hustling women out of their rights was something entirely different and ‘nasty.’ Cardi’s passionate words struck chords on both sides of the political spectrum, especially when she accused Trump of selling ‘bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos and confusion.’
Amidst the social media storm, Cardi’s messages resonated with many who shared similar backgrounds and struggles. Her retort wasn’t just about defending herself—it was about representing those who feel marginalized by the systems in place.
Cardi B’s bold response to Elon Musk highlights her defiance against stereotypes and her commitment to social issues.
