Cardi B ‘Came Out Of Pocket’ For Her Kamala Harris Rally Appearance: ‘I Didn’t Get Paid A Dollar’

Self-declared history and politics buff Cardi B went back on her vow to stay uninvolved in this year’s election, endorsing Kamala Harris after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Although her preferred candidate didn’t win (and the future of the country looks undoubtedly bleak as a result), Cardi hasn’t backed down from online criticism of her endorsement, shutting down right wing grifter Candace Owens, who insinuated that her only reason for making the campaign rally appearance was getting paid by the Harris-Walz campaign.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!!” she shot back via Twitter (never calling it “X,” which is a dumb, horrid name). “I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be. Like please girl you know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE.”

It isn’t the first time Cardi has clapped back at Owens. In May, she shot down Owens’ disingenuous call to ban porn — although, she later realized that the engagement was only serving the wannabe commentator’s ends and deleted her responses. She’d likely be better served using that time to work on that long-awaited second album, which even she acknowledges has taken forever to finish.

Cardi B Is Amused By A Fan’s Fake Cover Art Poking Fun At How Long Her Second Album Is Taking

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Cardi B has… shall we say… taken her time on recording a follow-up to her Grammy-winning, platinum-selling, chart-topping debut album. And no wonder; Invasion Of Privacy has set the bar so high that it’s looking impossible to top, and knowing how vicious Ms. Ma’am’s stans are, anything less would be perceived — at least online — as abject failure.

Still, Cardi’s reticence to take the leap and risk falling off has prompted some creative responses from her own fans, including one that amused her so much, she couldn’t help but share. “POV: it’s 2054 and Cardi B has finally released her sophomore album…” wrote the fan on Twitter, along with a jokey cover for the prospective album. Titled Defamation Of Character, the cover art features a closeup of an aged Cardi, complete with silver hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking like she just lost at Bingo at the retirement home.

Cardi was cool with the post, retweeting it to her fans with her reaction: “Lmaaaooooooooooooooo.” That’s a lot of “o”s.

Cardi’s been promising the album would be coming soon for most of the year, but has yet to share anything resembling her own album cover or a fixed release date as yet (although, Defamation Of Character would be an awesome title in keeping with both the theme of her debut and the last five years of her career online). Her last update was October 18, when she promised that it’s coming “really, really soon” now that she’s no longer pregnant after having her third child.

Plies Is Reportedly Suing Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, And GloRilla For Alleged Copyright Infringement

Lawsuits pop up just about every day in the music world, it seems, and now “Hawk Tuah” rapper Plies has added to the pile: TMZ reports Plies is suing Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, and Soulja Boy, naming them in a lawsuit that alleges copyright infringement.

Per legal documents obtained by TMZ, Plies alleges elements of his 2008 song “Me & My Goons” were used in Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag,” as well as GloRilla and Megan’s “Wanna Be” (and the Cardi-featuring remix). Named as defendants in the suit are Megan’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions, Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group, and Interscope.

“Wanna Be” producer LilJuMadeDaBeat has since chimed in on the lawsuit. His position, as HotNewHipHop notes, is that “Wanna Be” credits its sample to Big E, producer of 2006’s “My Dougie.” He explained, “My Dougie came it in 2006, Me & My Goons came it in 2008. Big E the producer of ‘My Dougie’ is credited on Wanna B. For the Record Pretty Boy Swag is a remake of My Dougie as well. Soulja Boy is on the My Dougie Remix. Me & My Goons literally not even the single for that Plies album.”

So far, nobody else has publicly acknowledged the lawsuit.

Cardi B Demands Trump Supporters Leave Her The “F**k Alone”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There were countless celebrities who endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Eminem, Beyonce and Taylor Swift are some of the most notable. Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla performed in support of Harris at the DNC and a campaign rally, respectively. Regardless, Cardi B is the celebrity who’s come under the most fire. The rapper recently spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee, and Donald Trump voters have delighted in mocking her ever since it was announced that Trump won the election.

Cardi B issued two responses via social media on November 6. The first was measured, and positive. Cardi praised Kamala Harris for her poise, regardless of the outcome of the election. “To Vice President Kamala,” she wrote on Instagram. “No matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for the presidency, they can never say you didn’t run your race with honesty and with integrity.” It was an unexpectedly wholesome take for a rapper known for going nuclear on social media. As the day wore on, however, and people continued to taunt Cardi B, she clapped back.

Cardi B Threatened To “Light Up” Her Detractors

The rapper posted a second video to Twitter. This time, she targeted those who opposed Harris. “Y’all won, I know y’all happy,” she explained. “Ain’t nobody acting like bitter losers.” It was with the word “however,” though, that the Cardi fans know and love came out. “Y’all need to leave me the f*ck alone,” she asserted. “Because I got one more f*cking cigarette in me before I start lighting your a*ses up.” The rapper closed out her statement by extending her warning to anyone and everyone. “That’s word to the motherf*cking United States of America.”

Cardi B has been on the same rollercoaster of emotions that other Harris supporters have been on over the last day. We know because she has documented the entire thing on social media. The rapper stated that the Harris campaign needed a “Hail Mary” when the election started to slip away from them during the evening of Election Day. When it was clear that Trump would be the victor, Cardi B posted a photo of herself looking very distraught. “I hate y’all,” she wrote over the photo. Hopefully the bullying dies down for the rapper as the week unfolds.

Plies Sues Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, GloRilla AND Soulja Boy For Copyright Infringement

Watch Plies Says Women With Plastic Surgery Only Attracts Ugly Men

Maybe Plies is still hot over Kamala losing the election.

Nobody really knows what prompted the Florida rapper to come for the hottest female rappers in the game, but no one’s neck was left unchecked. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Plies has filed copyright infringement lawsuits today (November 6) against Megan, Glo and Cardi for their unauthorized use of his 2008 “Me & My Goons” track. Big Draco also felt the wrath too, for his unauthorized use of the same track on his Soulja Boy anthem “Pretty Boy Swag”.

Megan and GloRilla’s collaboration on “Wanna Be” did numbers this year, sparking a summertime remix with Cardi B, but now Plies names all of the above in his lawsuit. Soulja’s use of the song dates back to 2010, but that didn’t make him exempt from the “Bust It Baby” rapper’s legal wrath.

Plies’lawsuit names Meg’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions as well as Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope as defendants.

Cardi B Offered A Consolatory Message To Kamala Harris In Response To Her Disappointing Election Results

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of the 2024 election, Cardi B surprisingly endorsed Kamala Harris for President after previously declaring she would not vote in the election because of her disappointment in Joe Biden. However, despite co-signs from stars like Beyoncé, Eminem, and Rihanna, Harris’ campaign was unable to overcome America’s 200-year legacy of bigotry and sexism, allowing 34-time felon Donald Trump to return to the Oval Office in January 2025.

While Cardi shared (and deleted) a few spur-of-the-moment reactions, her official statement wound up being a consolatory message to Kamala Harris. On Twitter, Cardi prefaced her statement with an acknowledgement: “Before Kamala joined the race, we knew how this country is set up and what was probably going to happen,” she wrote, “but it was so inspiring how she fought and changed so many minds, including mine.” You can read Cardi’s full message below:

To Vice President Kamala, no matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency they can never say you didnt run your race with honesty and with integrity! You really put up a fight against all the odds that were already stacked against you! You never accepted defeat as an option which says so much about your strength and about your heart. You really wanted better for ALL of us! This may not mean much but I am so proud of you! No one has ever made me change my mind and you did! I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, showed my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible. Thank you for being an example, thank you for being empowered, thank you for being a real example of what the American dream should be!

Cardi B’s Heartfelt Letter To Kamala Harris Leads To Strong Reactions

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B has not been shy in her support of Kamala Harris throughout the 2024 presidential campaign. Her speech at the Milwaukee rally was essentially a scathing rant on Donald Trump, labeling him a “hustler” and not in a good way. “Donald Trump is a hustler. Who is trying to hustle women out of their rights and hustle Americans out of their money. He’s selling more than watches and sneakers. He’s selling bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos, and confusion.” It led to a lot of criticism from the internet and other celebrities alike such as the ever-vocal Azealia Banks. She labeled it as “eye-goungingly cringe” and affirms that Cardi B was putting on a “stupid latina shtick.”

The New York rapper was steadfast in her response to everyone bashing it, saying, “I worked so hard, bro. I worked so hard on my speech.” Unfortunately, her effort to support Kamala Harris and her vision did not pan out, as Trump went on to win the electoral vote 292-224. The Invasion of Privacy MC has already voiced her disappointment in the results, but that wasn’t going to stop her for thanking the Democratic candidate for her efforts.

It’s a heartfelt message overall, as Cardi applauds her for putting up “a fight against all odds.” She appreciates that she put on for the women of color and “showed my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible.” But once again, her speaking up for Kamala has drawn more hate than love. Most of the IG comments are tearing her to shreds for not doing enough research on her and that she never had a real chance to win. Others were taking it there, with one user replying, “There’s a long list of reasons why she lost, and you’re one of them ”

What are your thoughts on Cardi B’s letter to Kamala Harris? Do you think she missed the mark with it, why or why not? How are you feeling now that Donald Trump is in office?

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The U.S. Presidential election was a nail biter on Tuesday. The world watched in anticipation as the tallies came in, celebrities included. Cardi B was one of the celebrities in question, and she made it clear to her followers that she was stressed. The rapper hopped on Twitter to voice her concerns about the outcome of the election. Donald Trump took an early and commanding lead in the electoral college, and Cardi B, an outspoken Kamala Harris supporter, did not like what she saw.

“We need a Hail Mary,” Cardi B tweeted out on November 5. The rapper is typically very verbose with her wording. The conciseness, and the concern present in her tweet was noticed by her fans. Many replied in support of Cardi B’s concern. Others, meanwhile, made fun of the “WAP” rapper’s her involvement in the Kamala Harris campaign. “What was needed was not to have celebrities like you give endorsements, you have no credibility,” one frustrated user wrote. “I was gonna vote for Kamala but then I saw you endorsed her and voted for Trump,” another mockingly tweeted.

Cardi has always been vocal about her political affiliation. She supported Joe Biden during the 2020 election, and she recently gave a speech at a Harris campaign rally in Milwaukee. The rapper took the stage and made it clear that she believed Harris was the right person for the job. She also took shots at Harris’ opponent, Donald Trump. She labeled the ex-President a “hustler,” and not in the positive sense. “Hustling women out of their rights is disgraceful,” Cardi claimed. “Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers, Trump Bibles…”

Cardi B’s speech drew a mixed response from fellow celebrities. Her fans ate it up, while people like Danica Patrick and Azealia Banks openly criticized the rapper. Patrick threw shade at Cardi when she appeared during a Trump rally and bragged about not needing a phone. This was a reference to the fact that Cardi B read her speech off her phone. Azealia Banks, meanwhile, described the rapper’s speech as “eye-gougingly cringe.”
