Cardi B’s recent antics prove that celebrities are increasingly out of touch with everyday Americans. It’s time to hold them accountable for their words and actions, not excuse them.
- Key Takeaways:
- Cardi B blamed “the government” after falling off a chair on stage.
- She threatened ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at a recent concert.
- DHS responded with a sharp-tongued statement about her past behavior.
When Celebrities Blame America
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, known as Cardi B, recently took a tumble during a concert in Las Vegas. Instead of owning the mishap, she immediately blamed “the government.” It’s a tired trope: blame America first, no matter what.
This reaction speaks volumes about the mindset of some of today’s biggest stars. They are quick to deflect personal responsibility and use political rhetoric as a shield.
Even after the fall went viral, Cardi B doubled down, claiming the video was AI-generated. It seems easier to rewrite reality than to simply admit a mistake.
Threats Against Law Enforcement? Really?
But the real outrage comes from her recent threats against ICE and DHS. During a concert in Southern California, she reportedly said, “If ICE come in here we gone jump they asses,” and boasted about having “bear mace in the back.”
She went on to declare, “They ain’t taking my fans.” This isn’t just reckless talk; it’s a blatant incitement of violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs.
DHS fired back with a statement saying, “As long she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior.” Ouch.
The Hollywood-D.C. Disconnect
The disconnect between Hollywood elites and everyday Americans is growing wider by the day. Celebrities like Cardi B, who once actively campaigned for Kamala Harris, now claim to be disillusioned with politics.
But let’s be clear: their political pronouncements still carry weight with their fans. When they use their platforms to spread anti-government sentiment and threaten law enforcement, it has real-world consequences.
She told Billboard she’s been “silent about politics” because “I know the White House watches my stuff.” She added, “There’s a president that knows I’ve never supported him and it’s like if I say something, he’s not going to care.”
So, is this a real change of heart, or just a strategic retreat? Why do entertainers feel emboldened to attack the very institutions that protect our freedoms?
