Cardi is no stranger to speaking about economic and political issues. She was a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders, alongside Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande and Lizzo. Cardi’s latest post showed that The Bronx native continues to keep her finger on the pulse of the American people.
Cardi B went on Instagram Live and spoke to fans about rising costs. A fan recorded part of the IG Live and shared it on Twitter. Cardi saw the repost, and she reiterated her concern with a tweet.
The Bodak Yellow rapper tweeted, “No seriously…I want to know how people are surviving…”
Cardi revealed that she supports many people, but she wondered how people survived without a Cardi B in their life.
Cardi acknowledged that the financial crisis was a worldwide issue. She said that on a recent trip to the Dominican Republic she saw that things were extremely expensive, indicating a global problem.

Before Cardi was famous, she struggled as a stripper in The Bronx. Cardi made her way out of the hood thanks to hard work, talent, and luck, but she hasn’t forgotten her humble beginnings.
