In a recent outburst that has left netizens exasperated, Cardi B, the outspoken rapper born in 1992, took to Instagram Live to vent her frustrations following the Super Bowl on February 9. The event, held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, is one of America’s most anticipated sporting spectacles. However, for Cardi B, the night was marred by an unexpected personal tragedy: her $3,000 Louboutin heels were ruined. And she didn’t hesitate to point the finger at none other than U.S. President Donald Trump.

During her livestream, Cardi B explained that the cart services at the stadium were temporarily halted due to the presence of the President, forcing her to walk a considerable distance in her designer shoes. The result? The iconic red soles of her Louboutins were scuffed and peeling. Visibly upset, she lamented, “Look how bad my shoes are… All because of Trump. Now I like him even less! He didn’t need to come to no damn Super Bowl. Ruined my shoes!” The Grammy-winning artist behind the hit song Up didn’t stop there. She went on to criticize the U.S. Secret Service, claiming their presence at the event was more disruptive than celebratory, hindering attendees rather than enhancing the experience.

Cardi B’s rant didn’t end with her footwear woes. In a bold and somewhat bizarre demand, she called on Trump to allow her deported uncle to return to the United States as compensation for her damaged shoes. The rapper’s tirade quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions across online forums and social media platforms. For many, her reasoning came across as entitled and absurd, prompting a flood of criticism from fans and detractors alike.

Social media users were quick to call out what they saw as Cardi B’s over-the-top logic. One commenter wrote, “She’s blaming Trump because she had to walk? What, did she expect him to go alone without security and risk another assassination attempt just because her shoes matter more? Who does she think she is? I refuse to understand this.” Another added, “She had no business being there anyway. She should’ve stayed home with her three young kids. I’m pretty sure when she’s at a club or store, her security team doesn’t let people near her either, inconveniencing others.” Others poked fun at her choice of footwear, with one user quipping, “Don’t wear $3,000 shoes to a football game, and you’d never have this problem,” while another joked, “Trump probably doesn’t even know who Cardi B is. Those shoes should’ve been confiscated—they look like lethal weapons.”

The Super Bowl in question made history as Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. President to attend the event, though he reportedly left midway through. Cardi B’s complaints, however, overshadowed this milestone for many online observers, who found her grievances petty in comparison. Some speculated that her outburst was less about the shoes and more about her longstanding discontent with Trump’s policies, particularly his stance on immigration. Her demand to bring her uncle back to the U.S. seemed to hint at deeper political frustrations, especially given her vocal opposition to Trump in the past.

During the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, Cardi B had been a staunch supporter of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, even appearing at a campaign rally in Wisconsin. Her activism led to a public feud with billionaire Elon Musk, further amplifying her political persona. When Trump emerged victorious, Cardi B didn’t hold back her disappointment, posting a now-deleted comment suggesting that states supporting the former president deserved to be hit by hurricanes. The remark, widely criticized as shortsighted and insensitive, only fueled the backlash against her.

Cardi B’s latest antics have once again placed her at the center of controversy, with many growing tired of what they perceive as her relentless need for attention. Whether it’s damaged heels or political gripes, the rapper’s ability to stir the pot remains unmatched—though it seems her audience is increasingly unimpressed.
