“I Can’t Stand a Bully” – Cardi B Stands Up for Kamala Harris Against Misogyny and Bullying
In a statement shared on her X account, Cardi B voiced her solidarity with Vice President Kamala Harris, reflecting on the challenges women face in their pursuit of success.
The rapper drew parallels between her own experiences as an underdog and the discrimination Harris has faced throughout her career.
Cardi articulated the frustration that many women feel when their achievements are often overshadowed by dismissive comments, suggesting that they owe their success to superficial attributes rather than hard work and talent.
Cardi expressed her anger at the way Kamala Harris is frequently targeted with derogatory remarks.
The Vice President, who made history as the first woman, first Black person, and first person of South Asian descent to hold the office, has been subjected to a barrage of criticism since taking office.
Many of these criticisms are rooted in gender and race bias, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about women in leadership roles.
“Women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better,” Cardi stated, emphasizing the disproportionate standards women often face compared to their male counterparts.
She emphasized the double standards that come into play when women achieve success, where their accomplishments are often met with scepticism.
Cardi noted that rather than recognizing their hard work, critics resort to hurtful narratives, suggesting that their success is due to their appearance or questionable means.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
