American rapper Cardi B has called out the unfair stereotypes that successful women often face, emphasizing her frustration with the notion that women use their looks or bodies to get ahead. Cardi took to her X handle to voice her support for U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who she feels is also being unjustly criticized due to her gender.
Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited,” Cardi wrote. “Women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better, and still our success comes with excuses… it’s because she’s pretty or because she slept her way to the top. I see the disgusting attacks against Kamala, and it’s not only angered me but has motivated me more now than ever to not just say something but to do something!”
Cardi’s statement came just after she spoke at Harris’ rally in Milwaukee, where she officially endorsed the Democratic candidate. Known for using her platform to speak out on social and political issues, Cardi B made it clear she’s ready to stand up for women in power and take on the critics who undermine their achievements.
With her powerful words, Cardi is not only standing up for herself but also rallying against stereotypes that challenge women’s accomplishments.
