Cardi B has escalated her public dispute with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security following a pointed social media exchange tied to comments she made onstage about immigration enforcement.
After Homeland Security’s official account posted a sharp response to her recent remarks — writing, “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior.” — the Grammy-winning rapper fired back with a message that quickly circulated across X.
“If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why yall don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?” Cardi wrote.
The exchange follows comments Cardi delivered during the opening night of her Little Miss Drama Tour at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, on February 11. Midway through the show, just before launching into her 2018 hit “I Like It,” she addressed immigrant fans in the crowd. After asking how many Mexicans, Guatemalans and other Latino attendees were present — and briefly singing Selena’s “Como La Flor” — her tone shifted.
“If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they a—es… I got some bear mace in the back. They ain’t taking my fans,” she told the arena, drawing loud cheers.
