Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B has criticized South African entrepreneur and business tycoon Elon Musk for referring to her as a “puppet” for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign as the US presidential election draws closer.
Elon, a fervent fan of Donald Trump, recently made fun of Cardi B. Elon responded to a Trump fan account with a quote-tweet that read, “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.” A video of the Bodak Yellow artist performing at a rally for the presidential and vice presidential candidates in Milwaukee was posted by the account.
He was apparently alluding to Cardi B’s teleprompter malfunction at the Milwaukee event, which caused her to stop for time while someone gave her a phone with her speech notes on it. “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,” Cardi B responded to the same.
“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….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm,” she added.
During her rally appearance, Cardi B delivered an impassioned speech about women’s rights, admonishing Donald Trump’s sexism. She said, “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog, I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something: Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people question us, how we got to the top. I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.”
The 2024 United States presidential election is scheduled for November 5.
