Cardi would go on to reveal that she tries to use her platform as a way to keep her fans in the loop as to what is going on in the world.
“I mean, I’m a hood chick, and I’m from the Bronx,” Cardi went on. “A lot of people relate to me and follow me because they want to see how I’m dressed, they want to see my lifestyle.”
“I feel like I have a responsibility to also share to them like, ‘Hey, while you here, and you’re checking my outfit and checking my music, check out what’s going on over here in this part of the world.’”
Given past evidence of Cardi and her opinion on certain political topics, she definitely backed up her words. However, it caught a lot of fans by surprise.
