Cardi B Fires Back at Elon Musk And Defends Her Journey as an Immigrant Daughter
Cardi B has fired back at Elon Musk after he criticized her on social media, mentioning her struggles and the challenges faced by many in America.
The exchange took place on X, formerly known as Twitter, where Musk shared his thoughts about the Kamala Harris campaign, suggesting a lack of authenticity and genuine empathy.
His tweet read, “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.
The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.”
In response, Cardi B did not hold back. She asserted her identity and experience, stating, “I’m not a puppet Elon.
I’m the daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their asses 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 anything about that.
You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle. PS fix my algorithm.”
Cardi’s response reflects her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a global superstar.
Born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar in the Bronx, New York, she grew up in a challenging environment.
Her parents immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic and Trinidad, facing significant hardships to provide for their family.
This background has shaped Cardi’s perspective on social issues, including poverty, housing insecurity, and the challenges that many American families face.
Her mention of “welfare” and “section 8” points to the government assistance programs designed to help low-income families afford housing and meet basic needs.
Cardi has previously expressed her support for various social causes, including the Black Lives Matter movement and health care reform.
Former senator Ben Murray-Bruce has shared his belief that Afrobeats sensation Davido could someday become the Governor of Osun State.
Speaking in a recent episode of his Common Sense series, Murray-Bruce pointed to Davido’s family background and growing political interest as key reasons behind his prediction. He described Davido not just as a global music star, but as someone with strong political views and ambition.
According to him, it’s no surprise given the Adeleke family’s legacy in Osun politics. Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current governor, while another uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, held the same position during the Babangida era.
Murray-Bruce believes if Davido decides to enter politics, especially with proper guidance and structure, he stands a strong chance. He also added that Nigeria could benefit from more entertainers in politics, given their strong connection with the people. He concluded confidently, “Davido, if you ever run, I believe you’ll win.”
Big Brother Naija Star, Uriel Oputa speaks on losing out at the 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA.
The reality star took to social media to express disappointment with not winning the best dressed award to the event.
It can be recalled that Prince Nelly and Liquorose both won the best dressed award for Male and Female. It can also be noted that these two are former BBN stars.
Uriel then states on her Instagram “This is not to knock anyone’s design. Everyone looked stunning. But let’s be honest,the only reason I didn’t win best dressed is because I wasn’t there on time. Nobody can tell me my dress didn’t eat.”
Nigerian Actress Chioma Chukwuka reacts emotionally to winning the best actress award at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards 2025, AMVCA.
The actress was awarded the win after her role in “Seven Doors” a film produced by Femi Adebayo. Her role gathered a lot of attention from fans as they praised and applauded her acting skills.
This earned her enough credit to be recognized as the best AMVCA actress for 2025. The actress takes to social media to express her gratitude “THANK YOU JESUS !!! Words really fail me ! AMVCA BEST ACTRESS 2025.”
