As Donald Trump surged ahead in the 2024 U.S. election, Cardi B took to Instagram Live to voice her frustration and disappointment with the unfolding results. The Grammy-winning rapper, known for her political outspokenness, directed expletive-filled criticism towards Trump supporters, responding to messages in her live comments section.
During her broadcast to 37,000 viewers, Cardi B expressed her admiration for Vice President Kamala Harris, who won states like California and Colorado but appears poised to lose to Trump. She shared words of encouragement for Harris, stating,
No matter what, millions of people are proud of her. Women around the world are proud of her.
In a charged response to a comment suggesting she attend Trump’s inauguration, Cardi reacted passionately:
I swear to god I’m gonna f*** you up, get away from me! I’m sick of you! Burn your f***ing hats.
She added a heartfelt message to Harris, acknowledging the challenges of the past year and celebrating Harris’s impact on women, especially women of color.
The Instagram Live comes as other prominent figures, like MSNBC’s Joy Reid and ITV’s Tom Bradby, also reacted strongly to Trump’s electoral performance, reflecting the intense emotions surrounding this election.
