Cardi B took to Instagram on Sunday night to reveal that her uncle was deported, following a frustrating experience trying to enter the Super Bowl LIX event in New Orleans due to heightened security measures.
Cardi B’s Frustration Over Super Bowl Security
After witnessing the Philadelphia Eagles’ shocking victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, Cardi B expressed her annoyance with strict security protocols, which she attributed to Donald Trump’s presence at the game.
“Yo, I was too fucking mad today because, you know, Donald Trump and shit,” Cardi vented in an Instagram clip. “He was at the Super Bowl today and they was giving us a hard time. Oh my gosh. The Secret Service was not playing at that motherfucker.”
Cardi’s Expensive Fashion Mishap
In addition to the security hassle, Cardi B lamented how the ordeal led to a mishap with her luxury footwear.
“This shoe cost me three bands,” she declared. “All ‘cause of Trump. Now I like him lesser. Now I like him lesser because you didn’t have to go to no damn Super Bowl. Fucking up my shoe.”
Cardi B Addresses Her Uncle’s Deportation
During her rant, Cardi also revealed that her uncle had been deported, but she did not provide additional details regarding the situation. She made a sarcastic plea for Trump to bring him back, acknowledging that such a request was unlikely.
Political Frustrations and Immigration Issues
Cardi did not elaborate on when or why her uncle was deported, but her comments come amid rising concerns over immigration policies under Trump’s administration. Since returning to office in January 2025, President Trump has implemented several executive orders targeting immigration.
According to the Associated Press, the number of daily immigration arrests has surged, surpassing previous figures under Biden. NBC News reports that ICE conducted nearly 1,200 arrests in just one day last month.
Cardi B’s History of Political Criticism
This is not the first time Cardi B has voiced political concerns. Leading up to the 2024 election, she expressed dissatisfaction with both Trump and Biden, referring to the decision as picking “the lesser evil”. After Biden withdrew from the race, Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee, a candidate Cardi publicly supported. However, Harris was ultimately defeated by Trump in the November election.
What’s Next for Cardi?
While Cardi B has yet to expand on her uncle’s deportation, her comments signal her continued frustration with U.S. immigration policies. With the rapper’s strong voice in the entertainment and political landscape, it remains to be seen whether she will further address the issue in the coming weeks.
