Explosive rant from Saudi Arabia: Rap superstar Cardi B is turning heads and sparking outrage after blasting the United States as "ghetto" and "dusty" while living it up under Sharia law in the Kingdom. In a viral Instagram Live, the "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker declared she's "starting not to like America" and demanded fans "beg" her to return – all while praising Saudi luxury and politeness. Is Cardi B ready to trade freedom for opulence forever?
Speaking directly from Saudi Arabia – where she headlined the massive Soundstorm festival – Cardi B unloaded on her home country to millions of followers. "I’m starting not to like America," she fumed. "America made me pay taxes, the Vice President talking shit about me on Twitter... I don’t feel I’m appreciated in America."
"Y’all need to convince me to come back. I don’t know if I want to go back. Convince me, now. Beg me to come back to America... I’m not feeling America right now."
The rapper didn't hold back, calling the U.S. outright "ghetto" and saying, "That is not my life anymore. I’m a new woman over here." She raved about Saudi Arabia's spotless streets, brand-new buildings, and wealthy vibe: "I haven’t even seen a bum... This country look like it was just opened yesterday or something... These people over here, they got that real money."
Cardi gushed over the treatment she received, saying Arab men "treat me like I’m their queen" and everyone recognizes her. Dressed in a full black hijab and abaya upon arrival – captioning it "Hello Saudi Arabia… Halal B has arrived" – she embraced the culture, even speaking some Arabic and declaring, "I like it over here, I really, really like it."
From bikinis to hijabs: Cardi B's stunning Saudi rebrand has fans divided. While some celebrate her cultural respect, others slam her for hyping a strict regime while trashing the land of the free.
