Cardi B Dubs Kamala Harris’ Opposition “Donny Du--” in a Political Slam at the Democrats’ Rally

Published 11/02/2024, 1:39 AM EDT

A good deal may assume that Halloween has spearheaded the season of fright nights, but little does the flock know that the real horror story is cooking in the political headquarters Stateside. Especially, with the last-minute reminders from the star-studded panelist of advocates to cast a vote, the political atmosphere in and out of Hollywood has been specifically tense. Sure, some endorsements have been welcoming for voters who were on the lookout for motivation, but a few of them were crash courses on slamming playbooks, like the one by Cardi B.

Cardi B recently took center stage at Kamala Harris’ rally, making a sly political jab at the Republican leader.

Cardi B was one of the stars present at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Wisconsin on Friday where the rapper took to the When We Vote We Win concert stage following performances by GloRilla, the Isley Brothers, and MC Lyte, among others. Cardi B highlighted Harris with an impassioned speech, before referring to the former US president Donald Trump as “Donny Du--” and criticizing his claims of protecting women’s rights.

“If his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers, then I don’t want it,” the rapper roared. While the Harris-Walz campaign has seen many stars waving the Democrats' flag by leaning on their encouragement for women’s rights, Cardi B did something more, by likening herself to Harris by dubbing both “underdogs,” who have self-mobilized a phoenix-like rise from the ashes despite the discredit and underestimation.

Cardi B’s speech at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee was an eye-opener for her fans. The singer revealed that she did not originally plan to vote in this election. However, when Kamala Harris joined the political race, she had a change of heart. Cardi B praised Harris’ economic strategy against price gouging alongside her proposal to assist first-time home purchasers in down payment.

The hip-hop icon continued that Harris’ promises were what she wanted to hear from the leaders and watch it happen to her country in the years to come, adding that the Democratic leader has made her a believer. Although she may have called names at the opposition during the rally, the rest of her speech was a nod of appreciation for Harris’ campaign.
