Add another name to the growing list of celebrities who backed Joe Biden in 2020 but aren’t doing the same this year.
Cardi B, a rapper who has publicly shared her profanity-packed thoughts on various topics in the past, recently sounded off on the president’s record.
As Fox News reported:
The rapper said that while she still believes Trump to be a threat, she’s felt “layers of disappointment” under Biden, citing the high cost of living and a lack of action, which has caused her to reconsider voting in the 2024 presidential election at all.
“I feel like people got betrayed,” she told Rolling Stone Magazine. Cardi B interviewed Biden ahead of the 2020 election and ended up endorsing him for president, after previously endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
“It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody,” she said. “Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f—— thing.”
Her remarks sparked some discussion on social media:
Cardi B 2020: I’m voting for Joe Biden. I don’t want any more wars and the economy is bad.
Cardi B 2023: Why is everything so F*cking expensive??!!?!
Cardi B 2024: Yeah, I’m not making that mistake again. pic.twitter.com/BP7rlbHak5

Of course, she’s not the only high-profile figure to turn her back on the octogenarian Democrat ahead of November’s election.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson says he regrets endorsing Biden in 2020:
"Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no … Am I gonna [endorse Biden] again this year? That answer is no."pic.twitter.com/r9m7egeB0D

As Today reported last year:
“Let me tell you something, when I be complaining about food prices and y’all motherf—— be like, ‘Ain’t you rich? Why you complaining about lettuce, why you complaining about this?’” she began. “That just goes to show me when you become successful, when you have money, you’re gonna f——-, you’re gonna go broke soon because you’re not budgeting.”
Cardi added that she gets a summary of the money she spends every week, so when she saw that she was spending more on groceries she wants to see for herself.
“I went to a supermarket, I’m seeing that everything tripled up,” she said, adding that lettuce was “like $2 a couple months ago” and now it’s around $7.
“Because if I think that s— is crazy, I can only imagine what middle class people or people in the hood are motherf—— thinking,” she said. “So yes, I’m going to say something.”
Biden’s support within the Black community in general continues to erode, as this video explains:
