She highlighted that, despite women often exerting significantly more effort and achieving greater results than their male peers, their accomplishments are frequently dismissed as mere products of their attractiveness or perceived as leveraging their physicality to advance.
In a post on her X account on Saturday, Cardi B expressed her outrage over the “attacks” directed at U.S. Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, asserting that the criticism she faces is largely due to her gender. The rapper noted that, like Harris, she has experienced being underestimated, and her achievements have often been invalidated.
She wrote, “Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited.
“Let me tell you something, women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better and still our success comes with excuses… its 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!… I can’t stand a bully!”
Cardi B’s statement on X follows her appearance at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday night, where she officially endorsed the Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
