The Bronx-born star predicts the Big Apple will be “drowning in rats.”
Rapper Cardi B is not happy with New York City mayor Eric Adams’ money management.
In a spectacular, expletive-ridden rant posted on X late last year, the Bronx native slammed the NYC mayor’s emergency budget cuts to schools, police and other city agencies — including the sanitation department.
“We are going to be drowning in f—ing rats,” Cardi B proclaimed.
At the time, Adams said the expansive cuts were necessary because the city faced a $7.1 billion deficit in 2024. That deficit has since shrunk to $5.2 billion for next year. But any sacrifices to the city’s budget don’t sit well with the outspoken rapper.
In her rant, she called out how the U.S. has sent huge humanitarian and military aid packages to Ukraine and Israel — all while building a historic deficit on home soil, which is forcing cities and states to cut funding to key social programs.
“We can’t fund these wars. We can barely f—ing fund this country,” said Cardi B. Does the rapper have a point?
