Rapper Cardi B joined the ranks of celebrities refusing to endorse President Joe Biden in the upcoming election, after “people got betrayed” by his administration.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the WAP rapper said that she would not be voting in the upcoming election, after using her celebrity to endorse Biden during the 2020 election.
“I don’t f–k with both of y’all,” Cardi said about both Biden and former President Donald Trump.
In 2020, she started out as a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary, but very publicly pivoted to team Biden after he became the nominee, by leveraging her immense popularity at the time to interview the president ahead of the election.
Cardi B 2020: I’m voting for Joe Biden. I don’t want any more wars and the economy is bad.

While she had initially viewed Trump as “a dire threat,” after Biden took office she experienced “layers and layers of disappointment” with how he has handled the country.
“I feel like people got betrayed,” she said about Biden on Thursday. “It’s just like, d–n, y’all not caring about nobody.”
What really gets her “upset” is that she knows “there is a solution” to the nation’s issues, because the Biden administration is “spending billions of dollars on any f—–g thing.”
Cardi thinks that the country is spinning out of control domestically, while pouring an endless amount of money into the defense of foreign nations, but is worried about being “blackballed” for talking about Israel’s conflict with Hamas.
She also blasted the White House for financially backing conflicts in certain countries, while totally neglecting others that have been deemed unimportant.
“[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through s— for a very long time,” she stated.
“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.”
“I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on,” the Bodak Yellow rapper noted.
“We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.”
Cardi B isn’t the only artist who is fed up with the Democratic Party, former Runaways singer Cherie Currie took aim at liberal politicians last month.
“It used to be PUNK, R&R to vote Democrat. I fell for it,” Currie tweeted on April 24.
She blasted the party for demanding Americans live beyond their means “just by buying” groceries and gasoline.
Currie also called out the liberal policies that have damaged the nation, like defunding the police, laxening criminal penalties, pushing gender ideology on children, and supporting Hamas.
It used to be PUNK, R&R to vote Democrat. I fell for it. But when your party demands you live in fear, squaller, beyond your means by just buying groceries, gasoline, disrespecting our veterans, our police, our elderly, supporting CRIMINALS, chaos, riots, Hamas, FAILING Israel,… pic.twitter.com/JyHRucdbI2

“Ineptitude with every policy! Lies and more lies … NO MORE!” she went on.
“The Democrat Party can KISS MY A$$. They don’t give a d–n. That’s true. Voting Dem used to be cool. But now, it just makes you a FOOL.”
Meanwhile, Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder remains firmly in the anti-Trump camp.
He recently explained why the band wrote their politically-fueled single Wreckage about the ex-president.
“There is a guy in the United States who is still saying he didn’t lose an election,” he told The Times last month. “And people are reverberating and amplifying that message as if it is true.”
“Trump is desperate,” he claimed. “I don’t think there has ever been a candidate more desperate to win, just to keep himself out of prison and to avoid bankruptcy.”
“It is all on the line, and he’s out there playing the victim — at least they’re doing this to me, because if not they would be doing it to you — but you haven’t falsified your tax records,” he added.
“You don’t have classified information in your basement.”
