ICYMI US superstar Cardi B took to Twitter a couple of days ago to express her interest in becoming a politician, creating a bit of a uproar, with fans backing her and detractors questioning her qualifications for the job.
I think I want to be a politician.I really love government even tho I don’t agree with Goverment

Like I was watching War https://t.co/r4gwhTQkHy matter how many weapons a country have you need people ! How are you trying to go against a country and possibly start a war when this country lacks patriotism? I barely see people claiming they LOVE being American.

That was then followed up with Cardi tweeting how she understands that she would have to get an education in order to run for office:
I do feel like if I go back to school and focus up I can be part of Congress.I deadass have sooo much ideas that make sense.I just need a couple of years of school and I can shake the table .

US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders, who met with Cardi B back in August last year, has since spoken to TMZ, stating that he believes she’s got what it takes. He cited her life experience as one of her major strengths. “Cardi B is deeply concerned about what’s happening in the country. She knows what it’s like to live in poverty and struggle, and it would be great for her to bring that experience to politics,” he said.
Now, we’re not saying that Cardi wouldn’t make a fiery and passionate leader, but look where throwing a celebrity in the most powerful position in the world has got you, America… Still, Cardi 2024 has a nice ring to it.
