Cardi B Fires Back at Trump’s Homeland Security After It Mocks Her for Slamming ICE: ‘Why Y’all Don’t Wanna Talk About the Epstein Files?’

Rapper Cardi B has repeatedly spoken out about her dislike of Donald Trump, but now the Grammy-winning rapper is beefing with the Department of Homeland Security over Jeffrey Epstein’s files.

It all started with her Wednesday night concert in Palm Desert, Calif., as part of her “Little Miss Drama Tour.” Cardi B sounded off on any potential ICE federal agents that may have been at the concert.

“Bitch, If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they asses,” she reportedly said on stage. “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, bitch.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s X account then had a scathing reply to a TMZ article about Cardi B’s ICE comments.

“As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,” Department of Homeland Security posted. The reply was a reference to Cardi B’s comments years ago about how she allegedly would drug and rob men in hotels when she worked as a stripper. In 2019, she said “whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive” and “I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world.”

Cardi B fired back at the Department of Homeland Security by replying, “If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why y’all don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?”

Since the Department of Justice unveiled more than three million more files of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in recent weeks, several celebrities, politicians and major public figures have had to answer for their past ties with him. Trump is named more than 5,300 times in the Epstein files, according to the New York Times, but he’s denied any wrongdoing and has so far not faced any consequences.

In the music world, Wasserman Group founder Casey Wasserman is facing backlash over his past ties to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking. Chappell Roan, Orville Peck and more artists have left Wasserman Group and called for the CEO to step down from the company.
