Cardi B has unleashed an expletive-laden rant over criticism for her bungling speech at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 32-year-old rapper has faced backlash for her use of a cellphone to read a speech at a packed event in Milwaukee on Friday, after standing silently for a minute when the teleprompter glitched.
But in an emotional video posted to TikTok, the Grammy-winning artist slammed those who criticized her, after previously hitting out at Elon Musk for calling her a puppet ‘who can’t even talk without being fed the words.’
‘I worked so hard, bro. I worked so hard on my speech and a lot of y’all talkin’ about like “Oh why are you reading it from your phone?”‘ Cardi B said in her video to her haters.
‘B****, I had to write that s*** down.’

She went on to note that she has three children, and started to talk about how she sometimes rehearses in the shower what she would tell people when she sees them.
‘And you know what, I forget what I be telling,’ the rapper said. ‘I’ll be like d*** I was in the f***ing shower for 30 minutes. But you know what, then when I be face-to-face, I be forgetting.
‘So you know, when it comes to this s*** right here, Iet you know what I’ve been wanting to say, but I had to make sure I ain’t forget, so I wrote that s*** the f*** down.’
The rapper went on to tell her followers they would still hear why the WAP singer supports the vice president for the nation’s highest office.
‘Y’all gonna hear what the f*** I had to say and I’m proud of myself,’ she said, telling her followers in a follow-up video that she has ‘gotta give myself more kudos cause sometimes I’m a little hard on myself.
‘But like yo, I really did that s***. Like a b*** was really stripping on poles and all, and I’m here.’

She went on to say that after meeting Harris, she realized ‘like yo, she means f***ing business, she[‘s] a f***ing boss.
‘And she’s really determined to win this s***,’ Cardi B said.
‘She’s moving like she gotta prove a point. Once a woman feel like she gotta prove a point, we’re gonna f***ing step on it, and that’s how she was acting.’
The singer claimed the vice president told her she would not take ‘no’ for an answer, and revealed that when President Joe Biden was running against former President Donald Trump she was not going to vote for either candidate.
‘But Kamala, b****, you changed my mind and you said something that made me change my mind – because a lot of people was acting blind to the s*** that was happening in the Middle East. And she addressed it.
‘She was like, “Yeah, I see it, I see it and I’mma fix it. If I could fix it, I’mma fix it. If I can’t fix it, I don’t know what to tell you cause at the end of the day, I don’t run that country. But if it was up to me, I’ll fix it.”‘
‘You know what? I f*** with you,’ the rapper said of the vice president. ‘I f*** with her because she a real b****. She’s not acting like she don’t see it.’

Cardi B also hit out at those who have criticized Harris for not acting under the Biden administration.
‘Y’all need to understand she was waiting for her turn. She was studying, she couldn’t do much, but now she finna do it.
‘And she promised me, and she looked at me in my eye like a gangster.
‘She was like, “Watch, I’m gonna change this s*** the f*** up, I promise you.”‘
‘I was like, “Oh yo, she’s a little gangster,”‘ the rapper recounted. ‘And I believe in her.’
With just one day to go before the election, the vice president has stacked up a number of celebrity endorsements
The vice president has received a slew of celebrity endorsements, with only one day to go before the election.
Among those whose endorsements she was able to secure were Eminem, footballer Travis Kelce and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Several actors have even filmed commercials supporting her, including Billy Eichner and Will Ferrell, and more recently Harrison Ford.
Trump has since admitted he was ‘so disappointed‘ to see Julia Roberts take part in a pro-Kamala Harris advert ahead of the election, saying she will ‘look back and cringe.’
The former president spoke with Fox & Friends after Roberts voiced an advert for liberal group Vote Common Good that encouraged wives to hide their support for Harris from their husbands.
In response, Trump said: ‘I’m so disappointed at Julia Roberts because I love… she’s going to look back at that and she’s going to cringe.’
Roberts’ advert was released alongside another voiced by another pro-Harris A-lister, George Clooney, encouraging men to hide their votes for Harris from their male Republican friends.
