Cardi B is never one to shy away from speaking her mind, and her latest Instagram Live session was no exception. The Grammy-winning artist launched into a fiery rant, claiming that the current economy under Donald Trump has become so dire that even sex workers are being forced to lower their rates. She used luxury purchases as a key indicator of this economic downturn.
Luxury Goods as an Economic Barometer
During the livestream, Cardi B questioned the visibility of high-end items, particularly among sex workers. “You know how you know that the economy is bad? Because not even the prostitutes is getting fly,” she stated. She pointed to the lack of designer items like Chanel bags and Birkin bags, famously stating, “B*tches was buying Chanel bags like they was f*cking female rappers.” This observation led her to the stark conclusion that even those in the sex trade are feeling the economic pinch.
She elaborated on the drastic drop in prices, noting, “The hoes was selling p*ssy for $10,000. Now the b*tches is going for $2,500. ‘Cause the f*cking economy is bad.” This dramatic shift, in her view, is a clear sign of economic hardship affecting all levels of society.
Critique of Donald Trump’s Policies
Cardi B then turned her attention directly to Donald Trump and his supporters, asserting that his policies have never benefited the poor. “Donald Trump was never for y’all poor motherf*ckers,” she declared, extending her criticism to include all racial and ethnic groups experiencing poverty. She emphasized that Trump’s disregard extends even to the wealthy, including herself, stating, “He don’t give give a f*ck about the millionaires like me, neither!”
She referenced a past viral moment where she mispronounced Trump’s name, suggesting it was her way of highlighting the issues with his administration. This isn’t the first time Cardi B has been vocal about politics; she previously endorsed Kamala Harris and has criticized the Trump administration for budget cuts to social programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
