Cardi B has very little patience left to test following the 2024 election.
After the results of this week’s election declared that Donald Trump will once again return to the White House as president of the United States, the 32-year-old rapper — who had ridden hard for his opponent, Kamala Harris — issued a warning to the Republican victor’s supporters on X Wednesday (Nov. 6). “Listen, I’mma let y’all know this right now,” she began, filming herself while walking through a Target parking lot.
“So you know, Trumpettes, y’all won, I know y’all happy,” Cardi continued. “Ain’t nobody acting like they’re the losers. However, y’all need to leave me the f–k alone. Because I got one more f–king cigarette in me before I start lighting your asses up. Aight?”
“And that’s word to the United States of motherf–king America,” the Grammy winner added.
Cardi’s message is only the latest post she’s made since Trump won the presidency, with the star also sharing a heartfelt message to Harris on social media Wednesday. “No matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency they can never say you didn’t run your race with honesty and with integrity!” she wrote. “This may not mean much but I am so proud of you! No one has ever made me change my mind and you did!”
The “WAP” artist is part of a large group of stars who have shared reactions to Trump’s victory, her post coming amid other disheartened messages from Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Bette Midler, Ethel Cain and more. As votes for the twice-impeached president-elect poured in Tuesday night (Nov. 5), Cardi also wrote on Instagram Stories, “I hate y’all bad.”
The Whipshots founder was outspoken in her support for Harris even before the former prosecutor took over the Democratic ticket from President Joe Biden, telling followers on Instagram Live over the summer, “They should’ve passed the torch to Kamala.” After the VP entered the race, Cardi frequently supported the politician on social media and in interviews before speaking at one of Harris’ final rallies in Milwaukee.
“Like Kamala Harris, I’ve been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled,” she said at the Nov. 1 event. “I didn’t have faith in any candidates until she joined and spoke the words I wanted to hear about the future of this country.”
On Wednesday (Nov. 6), Harris conceded the election to Trump with a speech at her alma mater, Howard University. She told the the tearful crowd, “Sometimes the fight takes a while — that doesn’t mean we won’t win,” and reminded supporters that “this is not a time to throw up our hands — this is a time to roll up our sleeves.”
