“F***ing high and crazy”: Cardi B slams Donald Trump’s $186B food aid cuts while expecting fourth child with Stefon Diggs
Cardi B has once again taken her voice beyond music, using her platform to highlight what she sees as the real struggles facing working-class Americans. During a candid Twitter Spaces session on Saturday, the Bronx-born rapper criticized Donald Trump administration’s $186 billion cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a move she says directly hurts families trying to make ends meet ahead of Thanksgiving.
With the holiday season approaching, Cardi didn’t mince words about the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. “People are complaining that they have taken away food stamps,” she said. “Thanksgiving is next month, no turkey for some of y’all.” Her statement resonated across social media, sparking discussions about how federal policy often fails those most in need.
Cardi reminded fans that she had warned about these very issues during the 2020 election cycle when she campaigned for Kamala Harris. “These are the type of things I was trying to tell y’all about when I was talking about the Trump administration… But all y’all cared about was me saying ‘Shrump,’” she added.
As food prices soar and economic strain continues, Cardi pointed out that tariffs and policy decisions have widened the financial gap for average Americans. Her frustration reflects a growing sentiment among young voters who feel increasingly disillusioned by both parties’ inability to address inflation and housing costs.
Cardi also shared a personal perspective that hit close to home. She expressed guilt for asking fans to support her new album while acknowledging how hard life has become in her hometown. “I don’t know how people are surviving,” she admitted. “I am so sorry for asking y’all to buy my album and this is how the economy is right now, that the rent is so f***ing high and crazy in the Bronx, no matter where.”
Her empathy extended to working Americans and students: “I hate the fact that I know if you was to say something to the Trump administration about the cost of living right now, they’ll be like ‘Yeah, suck it up.’ You know what I don’t like? I don’t like that there’s a lot of single people, there’s a lot of students, there’s a lot of people that are working nine-to-five, and because they’re working they don’t get no help from the government. I always hated that.”

Despite the heavy tone of her remarks, the Grammy winner has plenty to look forward to in her personal life. Sources close to the couple revealed that Cardi B is expecting her fourth child with NFL star Stefon Diggs. The news comes as the pair continue to strengthen their relationship away from the spotlight, a balance of motherhood, music, and advocacy that defines Cardi’s evolution as one of the most outspoken voices in pop culture today.
