Earlier this week Cardi B got into an online confrontation with the Department of Homeland Security after she sounded off on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s spree of arrests.
On Wednesday (2.10,) the superstar rapper told fans at her Little Miss Drama Tour concert in Palm Desert, California she would “throw hands” if any ICE agents arrived at her gigs, adding “B***h, If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they a*ses.” “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, b***h.”
In response, a DHS representative linked to a news article about the musician’s outburst, along with the statement, “As long she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,” a reference to a 2019 social-media post in which the 30-year old confessed that she drugged and robbed men in hotel rooms when she worked as a stripper.
“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 have a past I can’t change that,” penned the artist (born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) about those days before she found fame in the music industry.
When DHS resurfaced the topic, Cardi was quick to hit back with a stinging comment about the government’s approach to the release of evidence files relating to the late, accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, stating:
“If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them.” “Why y’all don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?”
Since the Department of Justice’s release of more than 3,000,000 files from January 30, a number of powerful figures have been identified, including President Donald Trump whose name allegedly appears more than 4,000 times in the documents.
