Cardi B has never shied away from publicly criticizing President Donald Trump and his administration. This time, the rapper has called out Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and warned them against attacking her fans in any way.
According to TMZ, during the opening night of her Little Miss Drama Tour in California, Cardi lashed out at immigration enforcement agents. The report stated that during the concert, she climbed on a raised platform while singing La Cucaracha. The rapper then asked the crowd whether any Guatemalans or Mexicans were in attendance.
Immediately after, Cardi B slammed federal immigration agents and said that if they decide to show up, she and her fans won’t hesitate to retaliate. The warning resulted in a chorus of cheers from her fans. She also mentioned that she has “got some bear mace in the back!”
“They ain’t taking my fans,” she reiterated.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not take kindly to the Bodak Yellow artist’s remarks. Sharing TMZ’s report, the department wrote on X, “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior.”
