Trump was convicted by a New York jury last week on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 White House campaign to buy her silence over an alleged past affair, which he denies. It has ben noted that his sentencing was set for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention takes place in Milwaukee and he is expected to be named the official GOP nominee.
Cardi B has made it clear that she has no interest in getting involved in 2024 election. In her new Rolling Stone cover story, the rapper discussed her disillusionment with all sides of the American political system, saying of Biden and Donald Trump: “I don’t f*** with both of y’all niggas.”
While Cardi stated that she saw Trump’s presidency as a major threat, she’s felt “layers and layers of disappointment” during the Biden administration. She cited domestic issues, the high cost of living combined with low, stagnant wage and international strife, she pointedly said, “I feel like people got betrayed.”
Last fall, Cardi had withdrawn her support for Biden after the president promised to provide funding for Ukraine in its war against Russia, and Israel for its war in Gaza, seeing a sharp contradiction with massive domestic spending cuts, like in her hometown of New York. She echoed this sentiment again with Rolling Stone and also revealed her concern that artists of color can be “blackballed” for discussing the war in Gaza.
