Rapper Cardi B slammed President Joe Biden after New York City announced a 5 percent budget cut to public services.
The former Biden advocate slammed the president in a 0-minute live session on Instagram, vowing to never endorse another aspiring president.
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, responded to the news that y New York City Mayor Eric Adams would be cutting 5 percent from much-needed services in the Big Apple to deal with the migrant crisis.
The budget cut affects the following:
Police
Public libraries
Schools
Sanitation
In a statement released on November 16, Adams said:
“For months, we have warned New Yorkers about the challenging fiscal situation our city faces.”
“To balance the budget as the law requires, every city agency dug into their own budget to find savings, with minimal disruption to services.
“And while we pulled it off this time, make no mistake: Migrant costs are going up, tax revenue growth is slowing, and COVID stimulus funding is drying up.”
“No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C., today’s budget will be only the beginning.”
Cardi B reacted angrily to the news on Instagram, saying:
“I’m an angry b**** right now… I need y’all to spread this video, and if something happens to me, it’s because I’m speaking the truth.”
“In New York, there is a $120 million budget cut in New York that’s going to affect schools, public libraries, and the police department,” she said.
“And a $5 million budget cut in sanitation,” she went on.
“B, we are going to be drowning in f** rats.”
Watch
“I’m not endorsing no f president no more,” the Cardi B vowed, reffering to Biden.
She also charged that Biden “can fund two wars while budget are taking place.”
The rapper was referring to the billions Biden has pledged to Israel and Ukraine for military aid amid the ongoing wars.
Noting her own wealth, Cardi B said she was lucky” and “blessed” but added, “What’s going to happen to my nieces? What’s going to happen to nephews? What’s going to happen to my cousins, aunts, and my friends that’s living in the hood.”
She also suggested a solution to the wars, advising those in the government to “sit the f* down with these people and find an agreement… We can’t fund no f**** wars. We can’t.”
“Y’all [are] doing budget cuts on the biggest city in the United States,” Cardi B said.
“This s*** is getting out of hand. They don’t want to say the word, but we’re going through a recession right now.”
She went on to tell her 169 million Instagram followers that they face similar budget cuts across the U.S.
“Little by little, it’s gonna go [on] in y’all states,” she warned.
Calling out internet users’ focus on “celebrity drama,” Cardi B said, “that’s little compared [to] what’s going on right now. The world is in f shambles.”
“These leaders, they don’t have our best interests [at heart],” she concluded.
“I’m always gonna speak for the people.”
Cardi B’s rant was shared on X and has garnered over 14 million views.
It’s not Biden, it’s the entire Democratic Party. Biden is just doing their bidding.
Hah......you got that right.
Just another Hood Rat speaking Hood talk....
Now give us the list of all of the useless crap that the cuts AREN'T affecting.
We should know her, and we should care. 169 MILLION followers the socials!!! We need to THANK HER for speaking out against the administration and the government. She has a voice that holds sway over millions of YOUNG VOTERS.
Trump should hop on this one a give her a great big “Go on Cardi B!! Preach!!” She holds so many young voters in her hands. Very powerful voice if used correctly.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

It’s NOT a good thing that these celebrities have hundreds of millions of followers. It’s a mark of the decline of civilization.
Young people should be influenced by their parents and other elders that surround them - not by random celebrities on social media.
Every once in a while a celebrity says something right and suddenly it’s a good thing that social media is indoctrinating our children?
Give me a break.
Still never heard of - don’t care.
As profoundly dumb as she is, she has more sense and intelligence than Biden
Old way of thinking... things change. That woman can make more change in this country with one or two Instagram Videos than most politicians or other citizens could achieve in a year. If we embrace her, and folks like her, show them our way is a little better, we’ll have the black and Hispanic vote. Female blacks are the heart and soul of the Dem party. Take them away and we’d never see another dem in office.
I don’t have an account either...
May someone here does...................
Your sarcasm is noted.
However: Why the heck does anybody pay any attention to ANYONE's "endorsement"? One who cannot think for himself and who depends on others to tell him how to cast his vote, should not be voting.
Exactly right. They are upset that their flow of free stuff has slowed a bit and could slow a lot more. They are not arguing for more freedom and liberty.
Sure, embrace social media based on the the .2% that is a good and positive influence.
That works - as long as you don’t mind our culture being destroyed by the other 99.8%.
That was made clear during the last government shutdown when Obama shut down all the national parks and monuments along with many other popular programs.
He went out of his way to make the shut down as painful as possible for the citizenry hoping they would turn their anger on Republicans.
You’re right! We should thank her for sharing her views and waking her followers up. I’ve noticed there is so much animosity in comments from Freepers when Blacks are in the news. But the significant gains Trump has made in the Black vote can in part be attributed to “Rap”. Yes! Are you aware of how many rappers are for Trump? For example, check out Loza Alexander and YE with their hit “In 2024 who you votin’ for”
If the right wants to expand their base, embrace cultural differences because Trump will be a leader for all of us!
You are right Cardi-B, but not because your budget was cut, but because Biden allows them to enter this country. Also at blame though are those who made the rules to house those that are allowed in. All was fine until it began to affect your hood, wasn’t it Cardi-B. So, remember to blame yourself as well, because you supported all that you are now mad at.
When you’ve lost Cardi B, it’s over.
(Who is that, anyway?)
