Bronx-bred superstar Cardi B has never been one to shy away from her political views.

As a Bronx, New York native, Cardi was furious to learn about New York City’s recent proposed budget cuts. In an Instagram livestream, Cardi expressed anger about the pullbacks from the area’s public libraries, local schools, and more. She wasn’t afraid to tie President Joe Biden and New York City’s mayor Eric Adams into the fold.
“I’m an angry b*tch right now… I need y’all to spread this video, and if something happens to me, it’s because I’m speaking the truth,” said Cardi. “In New York, there is a $120 million budget cut that’s going to affect schools, public libraries, and the police department. And a $5 million budget cut in sanitation. B*tch, we are gonna be drowning in f**king rats.
“I’m lucky. I’m blessed,” she added. “I’m whatever the f*ck, but what’s going to happen to my nieces? What’s going to happen to nephews? What’s going to happen to my cousins, aunts, and my friends.”
Cardi has spoken out on several social issues, including inflation’s impact on the cost of groceries. She even lent her likeness to President Biden for his election campaign, but apparently, that is something we will no longer do moving forward.
“I don’t give a f*ck, I’m not endorsing any presidents no more,” Cardi said. “How is that $120 million budget cut in New York City for schools, libraries, police safety, and sanitation, yet Joe Biden is talking about, ‘Yeah, we can fund two wars.”

I applaud Cardi for speaking out. It has gotten completely out of control in New York, especially when it comes to the education system, the trash all over the streets, that handicap heifer in Texas dropping all the migrants off in the city with nowhere to go, and the heavy rat infestation.
And don't get me started on the mayor putting our money behind some dumb Dalek-looking cop robot that's supposed to patrol the subways.I also love that even though she's aware of her blessings, she has empathy for those who are less fortunate.
The government has money to fund two wars with out tax paying dollars, but we don't have the money to not make it impossible to live in NYC? Cost of living continues to go up, but a living wage remains the same.
So until our government can learn to clean up the mess in our own backyard, and stop sitting on their hands as Israel continues to kill innocent Palestinian civilians, things will continue to remain the same.
