She defended her background, sharing her story of growing up with immigrant parents who worked tirelessly to support her.
‘I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you,’ she wrote, underscoring the challenges she’s faced and overcome.
Cardi added, ‘You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle… PS fix my algorithm,’ referencing the recent controversy over social media algorithms.
