Lord Jamar criticizes Harris for Cardi B appearance: 'An ex-stripper who admitted to drugging dudes'

Lord Jamar questions Kamala Harris’s choice to feature Cardi B at her rally, citing the rapper’s controversial past.

Rapper Lord Jamar recently took issue with Vice President Kamala Harris inviting Cardi B to speak at her Milwaukee campaign rally, pointing to the rapper’s controversial past. 

In an interview with 'The Art of Dialogue' on YouTube, Jamar criticized Harris’ choice of Cardi as a rally guest, questioning if it aligns with her political values. 

"First of all, her [Cardi B] history, of who she is, this is an ex-stripper who admitted to drugging dudes and robbing them and all kinds of stuff, who has songs like ‘Wet A*s Pus*y’ with the other one Megan The Stallion,” he commented, adding, “These are the people that you [Kamala Harris] decide to bring up there to represent your campaign? Like, it’s psycho.”

During her appearance at the rally, Cardi B addressed reproductive rights, saying, “Protection for women, especially… maternal and mental health care is not telling them what to do with their bodies. 

It’s supporting them and giving them the care they need for what they choose to do with their bodies.” Jamar, however, criticized her stance, calling the right to abortion “a crock of sh*t” and the idea of bodily autonomy “nonsense.”

In the past, Cardi has admitted to her actions as a former stripper, saying in a 2019 Instagram video, “I’d drug n**gas up and I’d rob them.” 

She later acknowledged, “Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive. I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world… I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options.” 

The discussion has ignited mixed reactions on social media, with some questioning Harris' decision to align with Cardi B and others defending the rapper’s evolution and activism.
