Last night, as Election Day drew to a close, Cardi B took to her Instagram page to share a video of her smoking three cigarettes at once as she, along with the rest of the country, watched the election results come in.

She captioned the short video: "How these elections got me watching these states turn red."

Check out a stressed-looking Cardi B smoking three cigarettes at once:

Needless to say, many of Cardi B's fans could relate entirely as they, too, watched the election results unfold.

One person with the handle @doctor_wp told the rapper to "stay strong mama."

Another took to the comments to share: "I’m having mad anxiety sis [sic]!!!!"

The US, along with the rest of the world, is still waiting to find out who will win the 2020 US Presidential Election.

Both the incumbent president Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden have won key states in what is evidently a closer race than polls had previously predicted.

Those who are hoping for Biden to become the 46th president of the United States became concerned after it emerged that Trump had been victorious in some major states.

However, some of these Biden supporters have been reassured by the fact that mail-in votes are expected to favor Biden and these are generally being announced later than ballots cast at the polling stations.

Speaking to Fox News yesterday (November 3), Trump was confident about his chances and predicted he would win "big" in states such as Florida and Arizona.

"I think we have a really solid chance of winning," he told the conservative news channel.

Cardi B has shared with her fans that she woke up at 5:00AM to vote in the 2020 presidential elections this morning.

In a post made on her official Instagram account, the 28-year-old rapper shared a video of herself riding around in a car with her nose covered in colorful patriotic stickers.

Take a look at Cardi B's early-morning voting video below:

Cardi captioned her post: "Nice and early !!!and there was ten people on line.GO VOTE! [sic]"

In the footage she shared with her 77.6 million followers, Cardi stated: "I voted. It was easy peasy. Go vote. After you voted, you feel like you did something."

Suffice it to say, Cardi B's fans really appreciated her positive post and quickly took to the comments of the video to share their feelings on it.

Cardi also shared an image of herself on her Instagram stories getting up at the crack of dawn to go down to the polls and submit her ballot, showing the time 5:02AM in a caption on the bottom of the screen.

On Monday, November 2, the rapper also took to Instagram to post a lengthy video of herself urging her fans to vote in the upcoming election.

In the video, which you can view below, Cardi stated:

"Tomorrow is the deadline. Tomorrow is the last day of voting. If you know me, you know I hate waking up early. But I'm gonna wake up extremely early so I don't get caught in them lines."

"If you do get caught up in them lines, don't get discouraged. Make sure you bring snacks, your phone is fully charged, go with a friend to keep you entertained."

Cardi B previously urged her fans to vote in this video:

Cardi went on to profess her support for Democrat candidate Joe Biden in the election and had strong words when describing her opinion of the Trump administration.

Cardi stated:

"I'm tired of this bull***t. I'm tired of getting upset every single time that I see that man talk. It's like: 'Are you f***ing serious?'

"Your little one vote can make a change. You can make a change, I can make a change.

"You don't gotta be special, you don't gotta be rich, you don't gotta be famous, you don't gotta be beautiful — you just gotta be you with your one vote. So, let's all go vote."

If you haven't already, then please take Cardi's advice and go out and vote. She's right: every vote counts.

Cardi B has been met with backlash from social media users following her comments about certain US states following Trump's victory in the presidential election.

Although many of the 78-year-old Republican's supporters were understandably overjoyed by the news, there has also been a wave of both disappointment and skepticism from Trump's critics. In the wake of Trump's win, many celebrities voiced their thoughts on the matter - including rapper Cardi B.Taking to X, the 'WAP' star threw some shade that left fans and foes alike in a whirlwind.Trump comfortably won the 2024 election. Credit: Chip Somodevilla/GettyOn Tuesday night, amidst the tension of early election returns, the chart-topping rapper shared a video at 8:42PM PT, hinting at her disappointment with the voting outcomes in certain states. Sporting a face filter, Cardi B said: "This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes," she remarked, just as the Associated Press was announcing victories for Donald Trump in states like Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and North Carolina. The video can be seen below: Of course, the rapper's comments come after the devastating Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused widespread destruction in southeast states. Though the video vanished minutes after it was shared - it was captured by social media users and widely shared.In response to Cardi's comments, one person wrote: "This is very insensitive and disgusting to say."A second agreed, writing: "That’s very weird and insensitive to say.""I love Cardi but she’s so weird for that," a third added, with a fourth: "So she’s blaming acts of God (natural disasters) that kill people on politics? This is a sick woman. Not everything is a joke.""Her true colors are showing. What a disgusting thing to say. Innocent families including children died in the recent Hurricanes," a fifth wrote.Later on during election night, as the tally boards lit up red, she also tweeted out a plea for divine intervention: "We need a hail mary," signaling her dismay as Kamala Harris fell behoind in crucial battleground states. A staunch supporter of Harris, Cardi B had just days earlier revved up a Wisconsin rally with fiery words.Cardi B arrives for a Kamala Harris campaign rally. Credit: Ilya S. Savenok / Getty "Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog," she declared, sharing her own battles and triumphs as a testament to relentless perseverance. "Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us how we got to the top," the rapper said.The drama escalated when X’s own Elon Musk - a Trump endorser - took a jab at Cardi, criticizing her for reading her speech from a phone after a teleprompter glitch, per Variety."Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words," Musk scoffed, dismissing the authenticity of Harris' campaign. Unfazed, Cardi clapped back with a personal revelation about her roots and the real American struggle, challenging Musk’s understanding of hardship. "I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their a** off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you… But you don’t know nothing about that," she defiantly hit back. "You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm."Featured image credit: Ilya S. Savenok / Getty

After surviving her beef with Nicki Minaj, rapper Cardi B has a new enemy: conservative pundits!

It all started last week, when the Bronx MC shared her opinion on the partial government shutdown. To put it in rap terms: President Trump thinks it would be "lit" to build a "dope" wall at the "ratchet" US-Mexico border. Therefore, he refuses to "John Hancock" any "BMF" bill unless there's a "plug" for that "bag." However, Democrats think Trump is not "keeping it 100" and that a border wall is "wick wick wack." As a result, nothing is "crackalackin"

For 32 days and counting, 800,000 federal employees are forced to work without "scrilla" or go on unpaid leave. In a Instagram video, Cardi B shared some candid thoughts: "This sh*t is crazy. Like, our country is in a hell hole right now, all for a f***in' wall," she observed. "Now, I don't wanna hear y'all motherf***ers talkin' about, 'Oh, but Obama shut down the government for 17 days.' Yeah, bitch! For health care! So your grandma could check her blood pressure and you bitches could go check your p****y at the gynecologist with no motherf***in' problem."

Cardi B's rant went viral, earning praise from frustrated Americans on Twitter, and even got turned into a catchy song. However, it's also made her into a target for conservatives, who think celebrities should shut up about politics. (Unless they're Hollywood movie actor Ronald Reagan or reality TV host Donald Trump.)

On Twitter, conservative columnist Stephanie Hamill shared Cardi B's salacious music video for Twerk, a collaboration with City Girls. The clip features more shaking butts than an earthquake at a cigarette factory, and Cardi B and Avi Ram painted their bodies to look like wild animals for some reason. (Just go with it.) Hamill added this snarky comment, "In the Era of #meToo how exactly does this empower women? Leftists, @iamcardib , feel free to chime in. THX."

It is not clear what #MeToo movement, a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault, has to do with a libidinous Cardi B music video.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/iamcardib/status/1087734463608479744]]

In response, Cardi B clapped back with a savage response. Or, to put in rap terms, she dropped that "ether," "the sh*t that makes your soul burn slow." "It says to women that I can wear and not wear what ever I want do w.e I want and that NO still means NO," wrote the Bodak Yellow rapper. "So Stephanie chime in..If I twerk and be half naked does that mean I deserve to get raped and molested ? I want to know what a conservative woman like you thinks ?"

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/STEPHMHAMILL/status/1087746344024981506]]

Hamill responded by arguing that Cardi B's music video sexually objectifies women, because apparently this is the 1950's. It is still unclear what the "Twerk" music video has to do with the #MeToo movement, so I'll have to watch it a few more times...for uh...research.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/iamcardib/status/1086906901328084993]]

Oh, and in case you missed it, Cardi B also clapped back at conservative commentator Tomi Lahren. "Looks like @iamcardib is the latest genius political mind to endorse the Democrats," she snarked on Twitter. "HA! Keep it up, guys!" To which Cardi B delivered this 'drop the mic' response: "Leave me alone I will dog walk you."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/iamcardib/status/1086990411770384384]]

Then she delivered the knockout punch to Republican Shill Barbie: "You’re so blinded with racism that you don’t even realize the decisions the president you root for is destroying the country you claim to love so much," tweeted Cardi. "You are a perfect example on no matter how educated or smart you think you are you still a SHEEP!"

So, Cardi B has gone from a stripper to a reality TV personality to a Grammy-nominated rapper to a political pundit. Welcome to 2019.

Rapper Cardi B has responded to comments made by a Trump-supporting model, who mocked her intention to run for congress by editing one of her tweets.

The trouble began when the rapper took to Twitter to state her intention to run for congress in the future. Cardi wrote: "I do feel like if I go back to school and focus up I can be part of Congress.I dead*ss have sooo much ideas that make sense.I just need a couple of years of school and I can shake the table."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/iheartmindy/status/1216792296277962753]]

Mindy Robinson, a personality and bikini model, fired off a screenshot of Cardi's tweet, editing her grammar to make her speech look more conventional.

Robinson captioned her sarcastic photoshop job by writing: "You’re going to need more school than that. ?? Your spaces are off too...but hey, how can we hold you accountable for kindergarten level sh*t, am I right?"

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/iamcardib/status/1216983326768058370]]

Enraged with Robinson's trolling, an Cardi fired back with: "You really mad cause you stay takin pics like this and mention Trump 20 times a day to get his attention.HEY! Don’t take your anger out on me cause he don’t wanna f*ck you sis ?‍♀️"

However, Robinson didn't appear to be offended by her remarks, later replying: "Oh...that’s why I have a bunch of hate mail in my inbox from people who can’t spell. Cardi B and her fans are mad I said my cat was more qualified to run for Congress than she is, which I stand by. By the way, slamming me because I support Trump isn’t a slam, try again."

In a recent video, Cardi B implored her followers to learn about their democratic candidates: 

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/XH8u16Mx-sKUnNGKf.mp4||XH8u16Mx]]

She added: "If you guys are going to send me hate mail...can you at least 'try' to proofread it first? The irony of people calling me 'dumb' that can’t spell it, is reaching ridiculously critical levels in my inbox. [sic]"

Indeed, Cardi, who has always been openly-critical of the Trump administration, previously stated that she was thinking of moving to Nigeria an applying for citizenship.

People love Cardi B because she speaks her mind with no filter. Ever since Bodak Yellow launched her career as a rap superstar, she's shared her opinion on everything from strip club etiquette to post-pregnancy breasts to the government shutdown over Trump's border wall. (Senator Cardi B, we stan!)

However, the 26-year-old's latest comments aren't charming the world like usual. Over the weekend, a clip from a live chat surfaced where Cardi rants about her critics, and makes a shocking confession: During her hardscrabble days as a stripper, she used to drug men and rob them.

"I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to f*ck me? Yeah yeah yeah, let’s go back to this hotel,’ and I drugged n****s up and I robbed them," said Cardi B. "That’s what I used to do.”

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/_NotOliver/status/1110264591303524358]]

The video spread across social media, and many people condemned the Bronx MC. "Cardi B is a EVIL WOMAN AND IS A DISGRACE TO HUMANITY,HOW DARE YOU RAPE ANYONE THEN CRY FOR SYMPATHY," wrote one Twitter user. A second person agreed, adding "people are defending her either because she's a woman, they're using childhood trauma as an excuse, they're a stan or they think it's an attempt to 'defame' her. "

@nicolenovello noted, "If a man did this or even ONE of these everyone would be going crazy. The double standards are insane. Do men justice and lock her up!"  And a fourth Twitter user asserted, "It's about how the #MeToo movement are quick to [rightfully] condemn men allegedly or confirmed of predatory behaviour but get silent when a woman is accused or confirmed to be the predator. That same energy you have toward Bill Cosby, 6ix9ine and R. Kelly, keep it with Cardi B."

It must be noted, however, that many of these outraged critics have Nicki Minaj photos in their backgrounds and/or profile pictures. As you probably recall, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have been feuding with each other since last year, when Cardi's debut album, Invasion of Privacy, trumped Minaj's fourth studio album, Queen, in both critical acclaim and commercial sales. The beef didn't result in any direct diss tracks, but it did result in Cardi chucking a shoe at Minaj during a Fashion Week party. (She missed.)

Then, at last February's Grammys, Cardi B became the first female rapper to win Best Rap Album Of The Year. The project also scored a nomination for Best Album Of The Year, overall, which is a rarity for rap. Meanwhile, Queen received zero nominations, and Nicki Minaj has never won a Grammy, despite being extremely talented. So, you can see why her fanatical 'Barbz' would pounce at the chance to slam Cardi B on social media.

Cardi's fans weren't eager to defend her alleged actions, but they did balk at drawing a comparison with monsters like R. Kelly. "I never said her actions weren’t criminally punishable," explained one Twitter user. "R Kelly is gross and in no way shape or form should a serial abuser and pedophile (him) be compared to Cardi B or someone like her." Another simply commented, "F*** outta here. Fuck outta here #SurvivingCardiB; let @iamcardib live"
