Cardi B Supports Colin Kaepernick At The MTV VMAs
Cardi B represents the best of Black folks in a myriad of ways.
Stay with us here…
She’s on a MAJOR glow-up after coming from nothing, she is hilarious with a bold personality, she isn’t afraid to truth to power in front of millions of white folks and she’s hasn’t forgotten about the struggles of her people. Ray Lewis, pay attention.
Last night, during the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, Cardi took a moment to rail against anyone who tries to disavow, discount, denigrate, disparage or demonize brotha Colin Kaepernick’s efforts to get justice and equality for Black people.
"Colin Kaepernick, as long as you kneel with us, we're gonna be standing for you." – Cardi B (via @adelleplaton)pic.twitter.com/zNU7TcAbN7

That’s right, she said it, lil’ b!tche$.
As if we needed another reason to champion Cardi on her rise to glory. She told America, in her own uncompromised Bronx bodega way, that we will NOT go silently sheet-caking into the night. We’re gonna be loud, aggressive and unwavering in lifting our voices to say “THIS SH!T AIN’T RIGHT!”
Flip the page to see the outpouring of support for the bangin’ “Bodak Yellow” activist.
CARDI B SHOUTED OUT COLIN KAEPERNICK AND I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A CARDI FAN. #VMAS
