In a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BardisMedia\/status\/1979673614153847175\">Twitter Spaces message<\/a> posted on Saturday (Oct. 18) Cardi said, \u201cpeople are complaining that they have taken away food stamps. Mind you that Thanksgiving is next month,\u201d Cardi said of SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), which provides monthly benefits to low-income Americans to help them buy groceries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cMmm\u2026 no turkey for some of y\u2019all, very interesting,\u201d Cardi added of the possible impact of the administration\u2019s announcement in August of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/08\/08\/trumps-spending-bill-cuts-billions-in-snap-benefits.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">$186 billion in cuts to SNAP<\/a> as part of its so-called \u201cbig beautiful bill act\u201d slashing government programs, reductions that experts says could leave millions of Americans hungry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThese are the type of things I was trying to warn y\u2019all was gonna happen in the Trump administration\u2026 But y\u2019all didn\u2019t care. All y\u2019all cared about is that I called him \u2018Shrump,&rsquo;\u201d the rapper added about the blowback she\u2019d previously received for taking aim at the president with a belittling nickname. And while Cardi said most fans might consider her to be rich, she said the cost of living, even for her, has become high for \u201cevery Go\u2013amn thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs an example, Cardi said when she orders a piece of custom furniture from Italy the Trump-imposed tariffs add $15,000 to her bill. \u201cEverything been rising up, from the prices of f\u2013king Fashion Nova and Shein to Chanel and all that s\u2013t because the tariffs are so f\u2013king expensive!\u201d she added of the rising prices for everything from fast fashion brands to luxury houses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tTrump came into office promising to lower grocery prices and turn around what he painted as an economy in freefall due to the previous administration. But to date, inflation and the cost of living are rising due to the impact of Trump\u2019s tariffs and with no end in sight to the now two-week-old government shutdown, a new CNBC survey shows that many Americans <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/10\/17\/trumps-economic-approval-rating-drops-says-cnbc-survey.html\">worry that their jobs could be next<\/a> on the chopping block as companies tighten their belts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThis isn\u2019t the first time recently that Cardi has weighed in on economic matters. \u201cI feel so bad because I didn\u2019t realize how quickly they raised the rent prices. And I\u2019m out here asking y\u2019all to buy my album and s\u2014t. I\u2019m so sorry, y\u2019all,\u201d Cardi said during an Instagram Live session last week about her concern about asking fans to buy her <em>Am I the Drama?<\/em> LP in this economy. \u201cWhen I was looking at those rent prices, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/cardi-b-economy-concerns-senator-martin-heinrich-support-1236091851\/\">I was so f\u2014king disgusted<\/a>.
