Cardi B recently made headlines after a teleprompter glitch disrupted her speech at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Milwaukee. The rapper faced criticism for appearing unprepared, but she swiftly defended herself in a TikTok video, addressing the incident and her dedication to Harris's campaign.
During the rally, Cardi B encountered technical issues as she stood silently when the teleprompter failed, visibly flustered. "One second, guys. Sorry, I’m a little nervous!" she said, admitting to the crowd that she had been eagerly waiting for this moment. When handed a phone to read her notes, she stated, "I took my time writing this speech, so I’m going to make sure I deliver it right."
Cardi B later posted an emotional video response to online critics who mocked her for reading from her phone. “I worked so hard, bro,” she said. “A lot of y’all talkin’ about ‘Why you reading it from your phone?’ B****, I had to write that s*** down.” She explained that, despite her best efforts, she sometimes struggles to remember exactly what she planned to say, even rehearsing in the shower to prepare.
The Grammy-winning rapper also expressed pride in using her platform to endorse Harris, hoping to inspire change. “Are we ready to change the next eight years?” she asked the audience, hyping the possibility of Harris as the first female president. She further encouraged the crowd, saying, “We are going to make sure we have Kamala Harris in office for eight years!”
Cardi also commented on her respect for Harris, describing the Vice President as a "f***ing boss" who "means business." Reflecting on Harris’s impact, she recalled, "She was like, ‘Watch, I’m gonna change this s*** the f*** up, I promise you.'" This sentiment deeply resonated with Cardi, who admitted that she initially wasn’t planning to vote in the last election but was persuaded by Harris’s authenticity and commitment, especially regarding international issues. "She a real b****. She’s not acting like she don’t see it,” Cardi remarked.
Despite her nervousness and the teleprompter incident, Cardi B's fans took to social media to praise her resilience and authenticity. One supporter wrote, “Cardi was nervous and the teleprompter broke, but she pushed through,” while another applauded her for “always being herself.”
With the election approaching, Harris has gained significant celebrity endorsements, including support from Cardi B, Eminem, and actors like Will Ferrell and Harrison Ford. Meanwhile, Donald Trump criticized celebrities like Julia Roberts for their pro-Harris ads, claiming she would “look back and cringe.”
