Cardi B has hit back at Elon Musk after he called her a “puppet” for endorsing Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming US election.The ‘WAP’ rapper made a speech endorsing Harris on Friday (November 1) during a campaign effort in Milwaukee, following performances by GloRilla, MC Lyte, the Isley Brothers, Flo Milli and DJ Gemini Gilly.Addressing the crowd at the Wisconsin rally, she compared herself to Harris, saying she had been an “underdog” throughout her career too. “I’ve been underestimated.

My success belittled and discredited,” she said. “Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us how we got to the top.”During the speech, Cardi read from her phone after the teleprompter broke.

She told the crowd “I took my time writing this speech, so I’m gonna make sure I deliver it right.”Following her speech, Musk took to Twitter/X to criticise her, writing: “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.

The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.”Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words. The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.
