Cardi B posts, deletes video appearing to blame Trump voters for hurricanes

Cardi B pulled no punches when she appeared to lash out at Southern states for Donald Trump’s second presidential victory in a quickly deleted clip.

The 32-year-old New York rapper, who has campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris, suggested in the clip that the region deserves the deadly hurricanes that have recently battered it, according to multiple outlets that viewed the video before she deleted it.

“This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes,” said the Grammy winner, real name Belcalis Almánzar, in the video that continues to circulate.

On the “Bodak Yellow” rapper’s Instagram story, she shared a video of herself listening to election coverage, with the text reading: “I hate yall [sic] bad.”

Early Wednesday afternoon, Cardi — who spoke against Trump at a Harris rally in Milwaukee last week — said on Instagram that she’s still standing by the Democratic presidential hopeful.

“No matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency, they can never say you didn’t run your race with honesty and with integrity! You really put up a fight against all the odds that were already stacked against you! You never accepted defeat as an option which says so much about your strength and about your heart,” said Cardi in a statement on Instagram.

Cardi also praised the VP for wanting “better for ALL of us” and making history with her run.

“I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, showed [sic] my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible,” she continued, dubbing Harris “a real example of what the American dream should be!”
