American rapper Cardi B recently took to her X handle to address the negative stereotypes that successful women often face in society. In a statement, she expressed her frustration over the tendency to attribute women's achievements to their looks or suggest they used their bodies to advance their careers.
Cardi B highlighted the challenges women encounter, stating, "Women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better, and still our success comes with excuses… it's because she's pretty or because she slept her way to the top."
Cardi B's comments were also in defense of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, who she claimed was facing undue criticism due to her gender. The rapper drew parallels between her own experiences and those of Harris, noting, "Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited."
Cardi B's remarks followed her appearance at a campaign rally for Harris in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she formally endorsed the Democratic Party's candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
She concluded her statement by expressing her determination to combat such stereotypes, saying, "I see the disgusting attacks against Kamala and it’s not only angered me but has motivated me more now than ever to not just say something, but to do something!… I can’t stand a bully!"
