In response to the recent TikTok ban in the United States, American rapper Cardi B expressed that the shutdown will not impact her.
TikTok was officially taken offline on January 19, 2025, after the platform’s Chinese owners did not sell it as required by a law signed by President Joe Biden in April 2024.
Following the ban, a social media user known as @1lex suggested that artists reliant on TikTok for music promotion, including Cardi B, should seek other employment.
In reply, Cardi B confidently stated, “Babe, I’m getting a $7 million offer to do my own vitamins. I can retire you from your flipping burger job by tomorrow. Thank me though; I’ve been helping you get your $8.99 Twitter check.”
