Cardi B used her appearance at a Kamala Harris rally to not only declare her support for the Vice President in the upcoming election, but also to take shots at her opponent, Donald Trump.
On Friday (November 1), Cardi took the stage at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center just outside of Milwaukee, at a Harris event that also featured GloRilla, Flo Milli and MC Lyte.
Most of her speech was spent praising Harris, who the Invasion of Privacy rapper said had inspired her to vote in an election she had previously planned on sitting out.
“I’m gonna be real with y’all: I wasn’t gonna vote this year. But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind completely,” Cardi said.
“I did not have faith on any candidates until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country.”
Towards the end of her speech, Cardi turned her attention to Trump.
“We all knew Trump was a hustler,” she began, adding, “And I’m a hustler too.”
“But hustling women out of their rights to their body is nasty work. Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and Trump Bibles…is nasty too.
“Today, it’s your wallet. Tomorrow, he’ll be conning you out of your health care rights.
“Donald Trump talks about how he has ‘a concept of a plan,’ but, America, the only concept of a plan he has is a plan to hustle you… He’s selling more than watches and sneakers. He’s selling us bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos and confusion.”

Cardi B and GloRilla have both been vocal supporters of Kamala Harris in the run up to next week’s presidential election.
In July, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper celebrated the news that Harris would replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate after he dropped out of the race due to health concerns.
“AHAHAHAHA LETS GOOOOO I TOLD YALLL KAMALA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE 2024 candidate…..STOP FUCKIN PLAYIN WITH ME !!!!!!!” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Cardi added: “Been told y’all Kamala should’ve been the 2024 candidate. Y’all be trying to play the Bronx education, baby this what I do!!! Been my passion.. don’t let my accent fool y’all.”
More recently, Big Glo threw her support behind Harris by outlining four key reasons she deserves to be voted into the Oval Office.
In a video shared on social media, the Memphis rapper urged her followers to vote for Harris because of her following policies and stances: “A woman’s right to choose!,” “Protect the LGBTQIA+ community,” “Funding for Public Education” and “$15/hr minimum wage.”
