The Grammy-winning rapper has slammed world leaders for focusing on the wrong causes.

Following her remark, another fan claimed that the rapper was not behind the aforementioned tweet, and she quickly responded with a video message to her supporters to clarify her position.
“This phone isn’t hacked; it’s really me,” she explained. “I honestly want to say a lot of things, but I’m just going to mind my own business because I feel like I have such a large platform that if I don’t say the correct things, I might get killed.”
Cardi then elaborated on her current thoughts on international leaders, saying she wanted them to reach a “logical conclusion.” She went on to say that she was “really not on NATO’s side” or “on Russia’s side.”
“I’m actually on the side of the citizens,” Cardi B adds. “At the end of the day, the world is currently in crisis.” She further said that this inflation was not only happening in America but all across the world and, it’s really difficult to get the economy back on track.
