Cardi B isn’t here for the shade. The chart-topping rapper clapped back at critics who mocked her for using phone notes during her speech at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee last Friday night.
Taking to TikTok, Cardi delivered a candid response to those questioning her preparation, explaining that she poured her heart into the speech but had to rely on notes for an extra boost.
Balancing life as a mother of three and a global superstar isn’t easy, she pointed out, and sometimes, even her well-rehearsed words slip in the moment.
“I don’t play when it comes to what I say,” Cardi stated passionately in her video. She even mentioned rehearsing her lines in the shower beforehand, determined to make an impact at the rally.
But knowing her nerves might kick in, she wasn’t about to leave anything to chance. “I wanted to be clear, so yeah, I wrote that down!” she said, laughing off the criticism.
As for the haters? Cardi isn’t letting them dim her light. She proudly reminded everyone of her journey—from working the poles to speaking at a high-profile political event, proving once again that her rise to fame is nothing short of inspiring.
Her fiery response left fans cheering, and it’s clear that Cardi’s words, prepared or not, continue to strike a chord.
