Cardi B vs DHS: Singer and rapper Cardi B has officially kicked off her ‘Little Miss Drama Tour’ from California. Who once called out Nicki Minaj for declaring herself as ‘Trump’s No. 1 fan’ during an event earlier this year, reportedly threatened to ‘jump ICE’ at her upcoming concert. Replying to which, the Department of Homeland Security called it an ‘improvement over her past behaviour’.
Maintaining her no-filter persona, Cardi B called them out on X (formerly Twitter). She questioned their silence on the Epstein Files, since the release from the Department of Justice and wrote, “If we talking about drugs, let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why y’all don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?”
This came as a reply to the Homeland Security’s post from their official account on X. Sharing the TMZ report, they wrote, “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behaviour.”
What did Cardi B say against ICE?
The rapper has not been silent against ICE, even before launching her world tour. On the opening night in California, she issued a warning and said, “If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump them [sic].” Receiving loud affirmation from the audience to scare off the ICE agents, she joked further and said, “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans.”
This came after Bad Bunny, the Spanish singer who headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, joined the list of Grammy awardees’ ‘ICE out’ campaign. It invited backlash from conservatives, including US President Trump himself.
However, Cardi B is not the only artist who has supported the ‘ICE out’ motto. Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish also spoke against the US body during her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards 2026. There were several ‘F— ICE’ badges spotted across the red carpet affair.
Cardi-Trump fued deepens
Cardi B and Trump have shared a contentious, one-sided feud since 2016, his first term in the White House. He has called him and his policies out on several occasions for being racist, and even called him ‘garbage’ in 2020.
While this has not invited any response from Trump, he was seen shaking hands with Cardi’s contemporary Nicki Minaj. Sharing on social media, the duo was seen at a press conference together, as she received the ‘Trump Gold Card’, sparking frenzy among fans. She expressed her ardent support for the US President, and that the ‘hate’ motivated her to do more of that. The Internet couldn’t help but agree that Cardi B was right about her opinions on Nicki Minaj.
