Cardi B is extremely disappointed with the state of political affairs, inside and outside of the United States as a new Rolling Stone cover story published Thursday (May 6), the rapper goes as far as denouncing President Biden for his administration’s involvement in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, as well as the issues she sees happening here at home.
While addressing America’s continuous financial aid to the Israeli military, as well as Ukraine’s military efforts against Russia, Cardi told the publication, “[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through s–t for a very long time.”
“There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [U.S.] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help,” she continued. “I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.”
Since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 – taking about 250 hostages and killing an estimated 1,200 – Israel and Hamas have been engaged in a deadly war.
According to the Associated Press, more than 34,500 Palestinians have been killed, while ABC News reports that an estimated 1,700 people in Israel have been killed. Reuters reported on May 14 that Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani had said talks of a ceasefire in Gaza had reached a stalemate due to Israel’s operations in Rafah.
As for average US citizens’ economic struggles on the home front, the “WAP” rapper says she feels “layers and layers of disappointment” about Biden’s inaction. “I feel like people got betrayed,” she said.
“It’s just like, ‘Damn, y’all not caring about nobody.’ 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–king thing.”
