Cardi B has slammed President Biden for soaring inflation that has, she says, seen grocery prices triple and a lettuce rise to $7.
While the wealthy rapper does not specifically name the President, she angrily demands ‘anybody that is responsible’ to bring prices down immediately.
The rapper, 30, revealed on Wednesday that she budgets every week to avoid going broke despite her $62 million net worth.
She urged officials to address the crisis, especially for the middle and lower class who might not be able to afford the soaring prices.
‘When I go to the f***** supermarket… I’m seeing that everything tripled up – that like lettuce was like $2 a couple of months ago and now it’s like f****** $7,’ the rapper said in a video posted to Twitter.

‘And I have a big platform, so I do want anybody that is responsible for these f****** prices to put that s*** the f*** down.’
Cardi acknowledged that she could either keep silent or speak up while arguing the price to buy groceries is more than eating out.
‘Of course I’m going to say something. The f****. Because if I think that s*** is crazy, I can only imagine what middle class people or people in the hood is m***** f***** thinking, so yes I’m going to say something.’
Some people argued that the rapper shouldn’t be complaining about inflation since she is a millionaire.
But the Grammy winner who is no stranger to indulging in the finer things in life, including $10,000 Hermès handbags, quickly addressed the contentious comments and claimed that managing money helps to ensure the longevity of wealth.
‘Let me tell you something, when I be complaining about food and all y’all m***** f***** be like “ain’t you rich why you complaining about lettuce? Why you complaining about this?” That just goes to show me when you become successful – when you have money – you’re going to f***** go broke soon because y’all not budgeting.
