Cardi B highlighted that, although women often put in significantly more effort and achieve better results than men, their successes are frequently dismissed as merely a product of their physical appearance or perceived manipulation of their sexuality.
In a post on her X account on Saturday, Cardi expressed her disgust at the criticism aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democratic candidate, asserting that much of the scrutiny arises from her gender.
The rapper related her own experiences, noting that, like Harris, she has often been underestimated and her accomplishments have been undermined.
She wrote, “Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited.
“Let me tell you something, women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better and still our success comes with excuses… its because she’s pretty or because she slept her way to the top. I see the disgusting attacks against Kamala and it’s not only angered me but has motivated me more now than ever to not just say something, but to do something!… I can’t stand a bully!”
This statement from Cardi B follows her participation in a rally for Kamala Harris in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she formally endorsed the Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
