Cardi B says that the economy under Donald Trump has gotten so bad that sex workers are having to lower their rates. She vented about the state of the country during a livestream on Instagram, over the weekend, as caught by Complex.
“You know how you know that the economy is bad? Because not even the prostitutes are getting fly. Where have you seen a hoe with a good Chanel bag?” she said. “B*itches was buying Chanel bags like they were female rappers. Where have you seen a woman with a chain with her name on it? Huh? … Where have you seen a lady pop out with a good Birkin? Even the prostitutes going through it. The hoes were selling themselves for $10,000. Now the ladies are going for $2,500. because the economy is bad.”
From there, she turned her attention to Donald Trump and his supporters. “Donald Trump was never for y’all poor people,” she said. “Donald Trump was never for the poor people. For the white poor, for the Black poor, for the Spanish poor, for the Asians, for the Indians… He doesn’t give a heck about none of y’all motherfuckers. When I talk about poor, I’m not only talking about poor people that’s under [the] poverty [line]. To him, even millionaires are poor! He doesn’t give a heck about the millionaires like me, neither!”
Cardi concluded by bringing up a viral clip of her mispronouncing Trump’s name. “These are the type of things I was trying to tell y’all about when I was talking about the Trump administration… But all y’all cared about was me saying ‘Shrump,'” she said.
It’s far from the first time Cardi has spoken about the political climate. She previously endorsed Kamala Harris during the 2024 Presidential Election, even speaking at one of her rallies. Earlier this month, she blasted the Donald Trump administration for cutting $186 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
