Cardi B has found herself in the middle of a political spat with Candace Owens. The tension arose when Owens suggested that Cardi might have been paid for her endorsement of Kamala Harris at a rally. Cardi, not one to stay silent, quickly fired back on social media.
In response to Owens’ inquiry, Cardi tweeted, “I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!! I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be.. Like please girl you know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE!” Cardi confidently dismissed the claim that her support was financially driven.
Elon Musk also weighed in, calling Cardi a “puppet,” following her mishap with a teleprompter during the campaign rally. Despite the technical glitch, Cardi stood her ground, going on to deliver her speech.
Cardi’s response to Musk was equally fiery. She 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.”
The rapper further emphasized her unpaid commitment to political causes by dispelling rumors of any financial motivation behind her support for Harris. “I actually been talking about these topics for the past couple years FOR FREE on ALL my platforms!!” Cardi stated, pointing to her long-standing advocacy.
Cardi also called out an unsubstantiated claim that she was financially compensated for her rally support, stressing her genuine interest in the political discourse and her community.
With her unfiltered clapbacks, Cardi B stands firm against accusations, proving her commitment to speaking on important issues without financial incentives.
