Cardi B Obliterates NYC Mayor Eric Adams and Takes a Shot at Biden in Wild Rant: ‘We’re Going to Be Drowning in F**king Rats’

If anyone was waiting for Cardi B to announce who she’s supporting for president in 2024, they’d better not hold their breath.

The Grammy-winning rapper, who was born and raised in New York City and currently lives in New Jersey, posted a heated tirade on Instagram Live on Saturday expressing her anger over budget cuts coming to her hometown. Her rant was shared on Twitter/X in two parts with a third follow-up, the first of which can be viewed above:

Her main target was New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D), who announced on November 16 that due to the migrant crisis, there would be a sweeping five percent cut across “all agencies” effective immediately and another five percent cut in January, possibly followed by another one in April. The impacted agencies include the police department, public libraries, sanitation, education, and the fire department.

Cardi B, who still has family and friends in New York City, was not pleased:

In New York there is a $120 million budget cut. There’s a $120 million budget cut in New York that is going to affect schools, public libraries, and the police department. You know I don’t give a fuck about the cops. But like it is what it is. There’s going to be a $120 million budget cut with schools. With the libraries and the cops and the police department and a $5 million budget cut in sanitation of a budget cut in sanitation. Bitch, we’re going to be drowning with rats. We’re going to be drowning in fucking rats. So we are going to be having our budget cut on these shits.

But her ire went beyond Adams, who said that the cuts would occur unless the city received federal assistance, to President Joe Biden, who has pushed for providing aid for the wars in Ukraine and Israel:

Look, I’m not endorsing no fucking presidents no more because how is there a 100 hundred million dollar budget cut in New York City for fucking schools, library, police safety, and sanitation? Yeah, Joe Biden is talking about like, “Yeah, we could fund two wars. We could fund two wars.” Motherfucker is talking about “We don’t got it, but we got it, and we’re the greatest nation.” No the fuck we’re not! We’re going through some shit right now! … We really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really are fucked right now.

Cardi B also called the current state of NYC “already super fucking dirty,” adding, “It’s embarrassing”:

I know people from California. I know people from Atlanta. So we would be like. I was like, “Yeah, New York is the greatest place in the world.” And they’ll be like, “New York is dirty.” And it is dirty! And we’re going to get even dirtier with the fucking budget cut. And yeah, we talk about, “We could fund two wars.” That’s like a nigga trying to front like, “Yeah, I got the money to support two bitches,” but you really don’t.

It is safe to say that Cardi B will likely not be performing at anyone’s inauguration anytime soon.
