‘I am a product of poverty’

In response to Elon Musk’s comments, Cardi B addressed criticism and accusations of being a “puppet” of Kamala Harris after giving a speech supporting the vice president running for president in the 2024 election .

The rapper gave a passionate speech at Harris’ Presidential campaign rally in Milwaukee last Friday.

Her bold comments about former President Donald Trump, whom she described as a “hustler,” resonated with the audience at the Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center. However, these comments caused controversy among Trump’s loyal supporters.

“Another puppet that can’t even speak without being fed words,” the Tesla CEO posted on X. “Campaign Kamala has no real authenticity or empathy.”

During the “WAP” rapper’s appearance, viewers saw a brief delay of about two minutes due to a teleprompter malfunction. This unexpected glitch caused Cardi B to read her speech from a phone that one of the staff members provided.

I am not an Elon puppet.. I am the daughter of two immigrant parents who worked hard to provide for me! I am a product of welfare, I am a product of section 8, I am a product of poverty and I am a product of what happens when the system is rigged against you….But you don’t… https //t.co/BBYQ2O0KYJ

Immediately after Musk’s comments, Cardi B quickly addressed the situation on X by strongly denying claims that she was merely a “puppet” for the vice president.

“I’m not Elon’s puppet. I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents who worked hard to provide for me!”

She also shared that her background was shaped by her Dominican and Trinidadian heritage, mentioning how she emerged from a challenging environment marked by welfare dependency, poverty, and initiative. ​Section 8 Housing Act, supports low-income families with rental assistance in America.

“I’m a product of what happens when the system is rigged against you… But you don’t know anything about that. You don’t know a thing about America’s struggle.”

In her closing speech, Cardi B toyed with Musk’s association with X, humorously requesting: “PS fix my algorithm.”
