'I Don't Want It!': Cardi B Scorches Trump's 'Like It Or Not' Pledge At Harris Rally
Cardi B lambasted Republican Donald Trump’s pledge to protect women “whether the women like it or not” as she spoke at a Friday rally for Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the White House.
“If his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it!” the Grammy Award-winning rapper said at the event, singing “I don’t want it” amid cheers in West Allis, Wisconsin.

Cardi B endorsed Harris, the incumbent vice president, after she criticized President Joe Biden in 2023 for backing military aid for Ukraine and Israel while $120 million in announced budget cuts loomed over schools in her native New York City.
The rapper, who endorsed Biden’s 2020 White House campaign after previously supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), said last year that she wouldn’t endorse a presidential candidate ever again.
On Friday, she got “real” with the Wisconsin crowd and revealed that she wasn’t going to vote in the election this year.
“But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind completely,” Cardi B said.
“I did not have faith on any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country.”
Elsewhere in her speech, Cardi B described Trump as a “hustler.”
“But hustling women out of their rights to their body is nasty work,” the rapper said in reference to the former president, who has praised Supreme Court justices for showing “heart and strength” in 2022 by overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that had legalized abortion nationwide.
“Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and Trump Bibles ... is nasty, too.”
