Cardi B on why she doesn't talk about politics now

A user on Twitter tagged Cardi B and asked her why she did not talk much about politics like she use to. They wrote, "@iamcardib Used to TALK ABOUT POLITICS & POLITICAL MATTERS! WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT ?!??." The rapper responded to the question and said that she was tired of getting bashed by the Republicans. She wrote, "I was tired of getting bullied by the republicans and also getting bashed by the same people I was standing up for."

Cardi B has always been vocal about the rights of black people and as per Buzz Feed, the rapper in her sit-down interview with Joe Biden in August 2020 asked justice for black people. She said, "I want Black people to stop getting killed and no justice for it. I'm tired of it. I’m sick of it. I just want laws that are fair to Black citizens and that are fair for cops, too. If you kill somebody who doesn’t have a weapon on them, you go to jail. You know what? If I kill somebody, I’ve got to go to jail. You gotta go to jail, too. That's what I want."
