Cardi B Clashes With Homeland Security Over Tour Remarks
13 Feb
Summary
- Cardi B criticized ICE during her Coachella Valley tour opener.
- DHS responded to Cardi B with a tweet referencing her past behavior.
- Cardi B questioned DHS about the Epstein files in her reply.
Rapper Cardi B engaged in a public dispute with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via Twitter this week. The controversy began when Cardi B, performing at the Coachella Valley on Wednesday, rallied her audience by stating, "Bitch, if ICE comes in here, we gon' jump they asses."
The DHS responded to Cardi B's statement by tweeting a link to a TMZ story about her comment. The agency's tweet read, "As long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, we'll consider that an improvement over her past behavior."
Cardi B swiftly replied, challenging the DHS by shifting the focus to Jeffrey Epstein. She tweeted, "If we talking about drugs, let's talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why y'all don't wanna talk about the Epstein files?"
This public feud with a government agency follows Cardi B's last major Twitter controversy in October, which was with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj. Minaj has since aligned with political figures associated with the Trump administration and Turning Point USA.
