Cardi B's Scathing Statements About Donald Trump And Rising Prices Draws Support From Democratic Senator

Cardi B made headlines last week when she called out President Donald Trump and the Republican Party over the rising cost of living. Now, Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich is chiming in, agreeing with the rapper's bold stance and echoing her concerns, drawing further attention to sky-high prices across the United States.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Cardi B got candid with her followers about the cost of living in a livestream video, admitting she had no idea prices across America were reaching staggering numbers. She even apologized to her fans for asking them to purchase her latest album, "Am I The Drama?" during challenging times, admitting she wasn't "paying attention."

Elsewhere during her stream, the "Hello" performer called out President Trump and his administration, accusing them of overlooking the American citizens who need the most help.

"I hate the fact that I know if you was to say something to the Trump administration about the cost of living right now, they’ll be like, 'Yeah, suck it up,'" she said. "You know what I don’t like? I don’t like that there’s a lot of single people, there’s a lot of students, there’s a lot of people that are working nine-to-five and because they’re working they don’t get no help from the government. I always hated that."

On X, formerly Twitter, Senator Heinrich of New Mexico amplified Cardi B's message regarding rising prices in the U.S.

"[Cardi B] is right," he wrote. "And it's not just rent that's going up—costs are rising across the board. From your rent to your groceries to your utility bills to your health care premiums, this administration is making your life more expensive and Republicans in Congress aren't doing anything to stop them."

Cardi B also suggested ways the government could help those in need, such as offering vouchers and making it "easier to get food stamps."

"They need to make it easier to get a little something, to get a little help," she said. "How the f-ck you m-therf-ckers surviving?"

"Y’all gonna have to sell p-ssy, d-ck, and b-lls," she finished.

And when she's not advocating for the American people, Cardi B is helping inform and educate her fanbase on the importance of caring for one's sexual health and wellbeing.

During an appearance at MISTR's National PrEP Day event in Los Angeles, the mother of three discussed how vital PrEP is for everyone, not just those in the LGBTQ+ community.

"I understand where the stigma came from and everything. HIV is really, like, high in the gay community. But why you think these b-tches don’t be having that sh-t?" she asked. "Y’all b-tches needa take that sh-t too. This sh-t for everybody."

Singer Tamar Braxton said something similar in early 2025, revealing she had chosen to take the medication to be cautious. "Dawg, like all of you is dating the same dude," she said. "Like, y'all is sharing the same dude. Like, it's giving, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday," she sang to the tune of Cherrelle's song "Saturday Love."

Cardi B isn't the only celebrity speaking out about PrEP and HIV. "White Lotus" actor Lukas Gage also spoke with The Blast about the medication, acknowledging that "scary" first step and encouraging others to talk with trusted individuals about it.

"... if you are uncomfortable talking to your primary care doctor, you might consider telehealth options where you can talk to someone from the comfort of your home. Regardless, there is nothing to be ashamed of. The more we talk about sex and how to have safe sex, the less taboo it becomes," Gage said.

"I think that the way that we become knowledgeable is to have an open conversation about these things and to not live in fear and uncertainty," he added. "The way that we just bring awareness is that we step away from the taboo and from the stigma that we have wrapped around these topics."
