Cardi B is on a rampage – and the 2024 presidential election just got her cooking up a storm, literally. The “Bodak Yellow” icon managed to break the internet faster than your Aunt Linda can say “hurricane season,” after she posted – and then almost immediately deleted – a video on X (you know, what we all used to call Twitter, back in the day) with a spicy message that reads like it was crafted by a highly opinionated meteorologist.
In the video, Cardi declared, “This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes. That’s all I’mma say.” Boom. Mic drop. Nature’s side-eye has spoken, and it’s Cardi B. Not exactly a warm-and-fuzzy PSA for the states that apparently can’t resist giving electoral love to a certain orange-hued candidate.
While she didn’t specifically call out the Trump fans, the timing and context of her message—right as Trump started sweeping up wins in hurricane-happy states like Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and North Carolina—definitely didn’t leave much to the imagination. And the internet, naturally, ate it up.
Then, over on Instagram, Cardi took her feelings straight to Stories, where she filmed herself watching the electoral results with a face that said, “I hate y’all bad.” (Think your mom’s face when you tell her you “forgot” to take the chicken out of the freezer). Cardi’s head-shaking disapproval was both highly relatable and potentially hurricane-inducing.
But don’t think Cardi’s been sitting on the sidelines. Just days before the election drama, she was out there rallying her fans IRL at the Wisconsin State Fair Park, showing up to a Kamala Harris rally in West Allis, Wisconsin. Yes, Cardi B and corn dogs. What more can you ask for? The crowd got hyped, Cardi got political, and we got the energy of someone who will absolutely tell you off if your state votes the wrong way.
Cardi B’s political commentary comes with a side of weather warnings, high drama, and exactly the kind of sass that makes us all tune in.
