After another fan wrote &#8216;okay, pass cardi her phone back now,&#8217; she jumped on a video to insist her &#8216;phone is not hacked, it&#8217;s really me.&#8217;
&#8216;I actually wanna say a lot of things but I&#8217;m just gonna mind my business because sometimes I feel like I have such a big platform that if I don&#8217;t say the right things I might get killed,&#8217; she explained.

&#8216;It&#8217;s me!&#8217; After another fan wrote &#8216;okay, pass cardi her phone back now,&#8217; she jumped on a video to insist her &#8216;phone is not hacked, it&#8217;s really me&#8217;
&#8216;But I&#8217;m really not on Nato&#8217;s side, I&#8217;m not on Russia&#8217;s side, I&#8217;m actually on the citizens side because at the end of the day the world is having a crisis right now,&#8217; Cardi continued.
&#8216;There&#8217;s inflation not only in America but everywhere in the world. It&#8217;s really hard to get the economy back up. There is so much shipments backed up.&#8217;
&#8221;China&#8217;s not really messing with us so a lot of things are behind, a lot of goods are behind and this s**t just made it way more complicated so I&#8217;m just really annoyed by this and I really wish that all world leaders right now just really come with a logical conclusion but whatever mmm.&#8217;

Calling for peace: &#8216;I really wish that all world leaders right now just really come with a logical conclusion&#8217; she told her 21.8 million followers
Cardi has history in commenting on politics, famously getting into an online war of words with  Candace Owens back in 2020, after the conservative commentator called the Grammy-winning rapper ‘illiterate’ and an ‘embarrassment’ to black people.
The feud began when Owens shared a clip of her appearance on The Ben Shapiro Show, in which she slammed then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden for taking part in an interview with Cardi &#8211; real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – for Elle.
Owens said it was ‘one of the biggest insults’ to black voters that Biden decided to do the interview with an ‘illiterate rapper’, rather than someone who could ask the ‘tough questions’.
The Republican went on to say that Biden thinks ‘black people are stupid’ and likened his interview with Cardi B to Donald Trump being interviewed by Justin Bieber.

‘It&#8217;s not a secret I use my platform to encourage people to vote,’ Cardi, who previously endorsed Bernie Sanders said during the video.
‘I have millions of followers. I pay millions in taxes. I have the Number One song in this country, I have the Number One song in the United Kingdom, I have the Number One song in Australia, I have the Number One song in New Zealand.
‘Just like I can make millions of people pop their p****y,’ she said of her hit-single WAP, ‘I can make millions of people go out and vote.’
Back in 2020 the chart-topping star even tweeted she wanted to go into politics, writing on Twitter: &#8216;I think I want to be a politician.I really love government even tho I don’t agree with Goverment (sic).&#8217;
