A clash erupted on social media after tech billionaire Elon Musk referred to rapper Cardi B as a "puppet." Musk's remark, a reaction to one of Cardi B’s recent statements, implied that the artist lacked authenticity and was influenced by outside forces. He posted, “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.”
Cardi B quickly fired back, defending her identity and her journey. She shared her personal story, highlighting her upbringing with immigrant parents who worked tirelessly to support their family. "I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of Section 8, I’m a product of poverty, and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you,” she wrote, emphasizing the hardships she has faced and overcome.
She went on to criticize Musk's limited understanding of her background, adding, “You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle… PS fix my algorithm,” referencing the ongoing debate around social media algorithms and their influence on user reach. Cardi B's response underscored both her resilience and her stance on the broader issues affecting visibility and opportunity in society.
