Cardi B Calls For “Hail Mary” While Waiting On U.S. Election Results

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.”

Donald Trump Orders Reporter To “Stop Talking” About Abortion Measure

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump did not want to divulge his stance on abortion laws in Florida. The former President was cornered and asked how he voted, but he attempted to sidestep the question. He tried to redirect things towards his own achievements while in office, but those in attendance did not let him off the hook. One reporter, in particular, asked Donald Trump a second time about his stance on abortion. This led to a very awkward moment in which the Republican nominee snapped at the reporter and told her to stop bringing the topic up.

The exchange went down on Election Day. Donald Trump initially balked at the notion of speaking up on abortion rights, and decided to heap praise upon himself instead. “[I] did a great job bringing it back to the state,” he remarked to those gathered around him. The “bringing back” Trump is alluding to is likely referencing the overturning of Roe vs. Wade that occurred during his lone presidential term. When the aforementioned reporter asked about Trump’s stance on abortion, he snapped. He told the woman in questioned that they “should just stop talking about that.”

The measure the reporter inquired about would drastically alter abortion rights in Florida. If approved, it would prevent state lawmakers from passing laws that prohibits abortion until fetal viability. This is said to be around 21 weeks, according to Newsweek. Donald Trump touched on the concept of abortion rights in a recent campaign rally. He once again sidestepped the topic, however. He instead claimed to be a “protector” of women, and insisted that abortion wouldn’t be an issue if he was elected.

As president, I have to be your protector,” Donald Trump told the rally crowd. “[Women] will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion.” Trump may not have wanted to talk about his vote, but Floridians made a decision regarding the abortion measure on November 4. It was confirmed by NBC News that the state rejected the proposal. It needed 60% of the vote to pass, but fell short with 57%.

Fat Joe Calls Out Latinos Who Support Donald Trump During Harris Rally

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fat Joe took an impassioned stance on November 4. The rapper took the stage at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Pennsylvania to address Latino voters. Fat Joe addressed the elephant in the room, which were the racially insensitive comments made about Puerto Ricans during a recent Donald Trump rally. He claimed that Trump does not care about Latinos within the United States, and urged those who are planning to vote for the former President to change their minds.

Fat Joe proudly acknowledged his Puerto Rican heritage before launching into a tirade against Trump. He questioned Latinos who planned to vote for Trump after the remarks made at his New York rally. “Where is your pride,” Fat Joe asked those in attendance. “The other day at Madison Square Garden, that was no joke… It was filled with so much hate. Calling Puerto Rico an ‘island of garbage?’” He also claimed that Donald Trump took steps to prevent aid from getting to the U.S. territory during his presidency.

“The man went and blocked the aid for Puerto Rico for Hurricane Maria,” the Terror Squad rapper said. “What are we doing here? The man blocked the aid for Puerto Rico’s recovery.” Fat Joe countered these actions with those taken by Kamala Harris. “Kamala went out there and dealt with the people. The other day, this was no coincidence, this was on purpose.” Joe went on to call Harris his “friend,” and a U.S. candidate that will serve as a great leader. He even referred to her as the “next president of the United States of America.”

This is not the first time Joe has made his political beliefs known. The rapper has been everywhere in 2024, from performing at the World Series to hosting the BET Awards. It was during the latter that Harris aired a video in which she addressed various political issues. She talked about her plan to fix the country and Fat Joe and Too Short were among the rappers in attendance. There’s also Fat Joe Talks, the recent podcast series he launched in which he has repeatedly endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidency. “Hip hop is the voice of the people,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s always been the truth.”

Diddy Able To Cast Vote In U.S. Election From Behind Bars

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy may not be a free man at the moment, but he can still vote. TMZ confirmed that the disgraced mogul will still be able to cast a vote on election day. The law decrees that anyone who has yet to be convicted still has the right to vote. Diddy’s trial is not set to start until 2025. Diddy will have to use an absentee ballot mailed from the federal jail, but that should be no problem assuming he asked for one in time. TMZ claims that the mogul will be able to vote in the states in which he is registered in. This means he can do so in either California or Florida.

Diddy is best known for his outsized persona, or in recent times, the criminal allegations leveled at him. In the past however, the mogul has been a vocal political advocate. He helped launch Vote or Die in 2004, a campaign designed to make voting “cool” for younger people. The Bad Boy mogul toured U.S. cities and partnered with other celebrities to promote the “Vote or Die” slogan. Diddy retired the program during in 2008, despite being a vocal supporter of Barack Obama. In 2020, however, the hip hop superstar felt the need to bring it back.

Diddy made his support of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris crystal clear by rolling out a new line of “Vote or Die” merch. He put on a town hall titled “State of Emergency: Election Day and Black America” in September 20. The event featured appearances from Kerry Washington and Dr. Cornel West among others. He also used his Revolt network to release a series about voter suppression among Black voters. Diddy told Charlamagne tha God that politicians like Donald Trump needed to be removed from power in a Revolt TV interview the following month.

Interestingly enough, Diddy has been used as a political tool in recent weeks. Notable Republicans like Elon Musk and Danica Patrick have used Diddy’s connections to musicians to question the morality of those who have endorsed Kamala Harris. Eminem’s endorsement of Harris led to a tweet from Musk in which he labeled the rapper “yet another Diddy party participant.” Danica Patrick, meanwhile, mocked Cardi B and asserted that she has “never been to a Diddy party.”

Rihanna fired back at users on social media upset with her for making a joke about using her son’s US passport to vote on Tuesday.

Rihanna is far from the first celebrity to endorse Kamala Harris in recent days. Cardi B made headlines for speaking about her support of the Vice President during a rally in Milwaukee. That move came after she previously refused to endorse the Democratic candidate when Joe Biden was still in the race, a decision she explained at the rally. Other celebrities to endorse Harris include Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and many more.

Vice President Kamala Harris Celebrates Hip-Hop: A Lifelong Love Rooted in American Culture

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vice President Kamala Harris is more than just a political leader; she’s a devoted admirer of hip-hop, an art form she describes as “the ultimate American art form” that “shapes every aspect of America’s popular culture.” At a recent barbecue celebration marking the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, Harris shared her deep appreciation for the genre, which she says is intertwined with the fabric of American life.

“Hip-hop culture is American culture,” Harris declared, captivating a crowd of more than 400 guests. The event, hosted in collaboration with the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective and Live Nation Urban, featured performances and appearances by stars such as Jennifer Hudson, actor-comedian Deon Cole, and Oakland rap legend Too Short.

Harris reflected on hip-hop’s rise from the boroughs of New York to becoming a global cultural force. With roots in African, Caribbean, and Latin rhythms, the genre has fused elements of soul, gospel, R&B, and funk to create something entirely new. “It is a genre. It is music and melody and rhyme,” Harris emphasized. “And hip-hop is also an ethos of strength and self-determination, of ambition and aspiration, of pride, power, and purpose.”

Growing up in Oakland, California, Harris had a front-row seat to hip-hop’s evolution. She shared that she knows every word of Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” and fondly recalls blasting Too Short’s albums during her college days at Howard University. Her upbringing, she explained, cemented her bond with hip-hop, a genre she praises for its authenticity and raw storytelling. “Hip-hop speaks truth, raw, unfiltered, without apology,” she said.

Harris also acknowledged hip-hop’s vital role in amplifying the voices of marginalized communities. She quoted Public Enemy’s Chuck D, who famously called rap “Black America’s CNN,” pointing out how the genre has historically provided a platform for stories that mainstream media often overlooks.

The vice president’s connection to hip-hop is no political gimmick. Critics may accuse politicians of using hip-hop culture as a means to secure votes, but Harris’ ties to the music run deep and are rooted in her lived experiences. As a Black woman who grew up in a middle-class household, attended an HBCU, and became an AKA sorority sister, her love for the genre reflects a genuine connection shared by millions of Americans.

For years, Harris has seamlessly blended her passion for hip-hop with her political work. From Megan Thee Stallion opening her Atlanta rally to collaborating with Quavo on gun violence prevention, she has partnered with prominent figures in the hip-hop community. These partnerships aren’t just about optics; they’re about engaging younger, culturally aware voters in meaningful ways.

Harris’ embrace of hip-hop culture is reminiscent of President Barack Obama, who famously shared his love for artists like JAY-Z and Kendrick Lamar. It’s a humbling reminder that some of America’s most powerful figures draw inspiration from the same cultural forces that shape everyday life. For Harris, hip-hop is a source of pride and a symbol of resilience. Her campaign’s use of hip-hop is more than a strategy—it’s a reflection of shared experiences and values.

Vice President Harris knows what it feels like to have her identity questioned, a sentiment that resonates with many Black Americans. She’s faced scrutiny for not fitting into rigid perceptions of Blackness, but she stands firm in her truth. “Just because I’m not the Black person you want me to be doesn’t make me any less Black than you,” she said, speaking to a broader narrative of cultural and personal authenticity.

Hip-hop remains a powerful force in shaping culture and political engagement. As Harris champions the genre’s impact, she shows how music can break barriers, spark conversations, and unite communities. For her, hip-hop is more than just music—it’s a testament to the spirit of a nation that celebrates diversity, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

Vice President Kamala Harris Outlines Key Goals on Pittsburgh Radio

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Battleground Voters React to Vice President Harris’ Optimistic Nomination Speech

This morning on Pittsburgh’s The Big K Morning Show with Larry Richert on NewsRadio KDKA with Larry Richert, Vice President Kamala Harris shared her priorities if elected, starting with a focus on reducing living costs.

Her plans include a proposed national ban on corporate price gouging, tax credits for families and small businesses, and a $25,000 down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. Harris also emphasized tackling immigration reform and strengthening American industry to stay competitive globally. “We’re going to need to win the competition with China for the 21st century,” she stated, underscoring her commitment to supporting U.S. workers and industries.

Bringing down the cost of living for folks. I have a package of plans that address that. Everything from what we need to do to create, for example of first time national ban on corporate price gouging on groceries, what we can do around tax credits for young families, tax credits and support for small businesses, including what we can do around a $25,000 down payment assistance for first time home buyers. So I have a whole package of issues that are all directed at bringing down the cost of living. We’re gonna also need to deal with fixing what’s going on with our broken immigration system. It’s been broken for a long time under both the Democratic and Republican administrations. And so I’m gonna be submitting that and then also doing the work of investing in American industry, American workers, and making sure that we are competitive globally in the 21st century. And that frankly, we win the competition with China for the 21st century. So those are my priorities.

Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) page on Monday night, she wrote: “I don’t know why I’m so nervous for tomorrow… I feel like I’m running for president.” The post comes after she endorsed Harris during a recent rally in Milwaukee.

Cardi’s replies section is loaded with Donald Trump supporters baselessly alleging that she’ll be headed to jail if their candidate wins the election. Others praised her for supporting Harris and caring about the outcome so deeply. “It’s because you care. It’s a beautiful thing to care so much for your country you worry for it,” one fan wrote.

Cardi previously refused to endorse the Democratic candidate when Joe Biden was still in the race, but changed her tune in Wisconsin, last Friday. “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Cardi said at Harris’ rally in the state. “I do not take lightly the call to show up, the call to speak up, the call to deliver a message that’s been on my heart a hot minute now.” She continued: “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.”
