Cardi B, who previously endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 elections, has made headlines again with her decision not to support either of the main candidates in the upcoming presidential election. 

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper expressed her discomfort with both Biden and Donald Trump, specifically criticizing their involvement in foreign conflicts.

"The famous rapper, Cardi B... she endorsed Biden in 2020. Now she told Rolling Stone magazine she doesn’t ‘f’ with either of them,” stated Jake Tapper on CNN's State of the Union. 

Fellow panelist Bakari Sellers highlighted the potential impact of her stance: “I don’t think the biggest threat to Joe Biden is Donald Trump. I think the biggest threat to Joe Biden is people staying at home. Cardi B actually echoes that sentiment.”

Cardi B has openly discussed her issues with Biden on multiple occasions, articulating her stance in a live stream. "When it comes to Biden, I can't support you because you're funding a war," she declared. 

"This is not a war that is soldiers fighting soldiers... There’s children and parents getting killed. I am a parent, I would hate to be a child and to see my father or mother get killed due to a bomb. I can't support that, I just can't."

Despite her decision not to vote for either candidate, Cardi B made it clear that she does not wish to sway others from voting. 

"I'm not encouraging anybody to not vote. You do what you want to do, but I'm telling you what I'm doing and that's it," she explained. 

As the 2024 Presidential Election approaches, Cardi B's outspoken views are sure to spark further discussion.
