Cardi B is showering all the accolades on Kamala Harris amid Donald Trump's emergence as the 47th president of the USA.
The rapper penned a lengthy paragraph filled with praises and words of encouragement to the current vice president and presidential candidate of the Democratic Party as her opponent snatched the win.

Cardi B To Kamala Harris: 'This May Not Mean Much, But I Am So Proud Of You!'
The mom-of-three raised the politician up with touching words of affirmation and admiration on her Instagram page in the wake of Trump's victory.
"To Vice President Kamala, no matter what they've said to bring you down or belittle your run for the presidency, they can never say you didn't run your race with honesty and with integrity!" the rapper began.
She praised Harris for putting up a fierce campaign despite "all the odds that were already stacked" against her, and never accepting defeat as an option. Before adding that Harris has inspired her, her kids, and other women that "anything is possible," the doting mother noted:
"You really wanted better for ALL of us! This may not mean much but I am so proud of you! No one has ever made me change my mind, and you did! I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States."
Cardi B concluded the post by thanking the former senator for "being a real example of what the American dream should be!"

"Facts, Kamala did an amazing job and did it with grace! I'm very proud of her, and shoutout to you, the public figures, the people, and everyone who used their voice, vote, and platform to inspire change," one commenter declared.
Another user seemingly disputed the rapper's claims, noting that the politician lied in her campaign. "How was she honest??if an individual can't be honest and transparent, then they DEFINITELY don't have any integrity," the user concluded.
This commenter thanked the rapper for her wisdom as another added, "Kamala did her thing credits to her."
"Now CARDI. I'm already emotional. This was so sweet and heartfelt," this fan penned down, as one more user noted, "Go back to worrying about music, you don't know s–t about politics and clearly can't see through bullshit."
Cardi Expressed Her Frustration Over The Election Results
As soon as the rapper got wind of the election results, The Blast shared that she took to Instagram Live to express her thoughts to her viewers and followers in her usual loud and outspoken manner.
Cardi B declared her disappointment, anger, and frustration with the election outcome and process as she urged her fans to stay on top of the situation.
"I swear to god I'm gonna f— you up, get away from me. I'm sick of you! Burn you're f—ing hats, motherf—er. I'm really sad. I swear to god, I'm really sad," the rapper noted to more than 37,000 viewers on her IG live.
She, however, assured the politician that millions of people and "women around the world are proud of her. Women of color are proud of her." Cardi B recalled the moment she met her, and they locked eyes, describing her as "very genuine and not playing any f-king games."
The influencer praised her for pulling her weight in just 100 days, adding: "I feel there was a lot of things that went wrong last year and they kept her too much in the background." Cardi B concluded the session by stating:
"I'm proud of her and I hope she's proud of herself no matter what happens tonight. This is one of the most unforgettable elections and I love her. I don't say I love a lot of people, y'all know that. Because I hate everybody."
Cardi B Attended Kamala Harris' Rally In Milwaukee
Cardi's support for Harris is in no small measure and she showcased it when she took to the stage at the rally in Milwaukee a few days before Election Day and energized the crowd to cast their votes for her candidate.
The rapper looked elegant in a white two-piece paired with matching white stilettos and a flawless updo with a side bang delicately sitting on her face.
"I've been waiting for this moment my whole life," she began to the packed venue at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center, noting that she did not take the "call to show up, the call to speak up, the call to deliver a message that's been on my heart a hot minute now" lightly.
Card B likened her status as a former "underdog" to Harris' current situation, stating that she has been underestimated, her success dismissed, and discredited.
"Let me tell you something: Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people question us, how we got to the top. I can't stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one," the rapper declared.
