Rap star Cardi B has taken to Twitter to hit out at police brutality in the US.
The chart-topping rap star has taken to Twitter after footage emerged of a 13-year-old boy being shot dead by a police officer in Chicago, with Cardi describing the incident as "sad and disgusting".
She wrote on the micro-blogging platform: "That video of that 13 year old falling on his a** after getting shot by a cop is so sick,sad and disgusting.I’m so tired of police brutality & entitlement.We are sooo tired of it .
“When will it end? like this s*** is becoming too much. It’s truly traumatizing. (sic)"
That video of that 13 year old falling on his ass after getting shot by a cop is so sick,sad and disgusting.I’m so tired of police brutality & entitlement.We are sooo tired of it .When will it end? like this shit is becoming too much. It’s truly traumatizing.
Cardi, 28, made the remarks shortly after she slammed Republicans for ignoring police brutality.
She recently said on Twitter: "Ya been real quit .Twitter Blue check Republicans are a f****** joke .I don’t ever want to see yaa ranting on celebrities,athletes until yall address what’s REALLY WRONG IN AMERICA ! (sic)"
Last month, Cardi also bemoaned the "one-sided" history lessons taught in US schools.
The “WAP” hitmaker - who is the daughter of a Dominican father and Trinidadian mother - took to Twitter to educate Americans about the history of her ancestors.
She said: "One more thing I want to make clear to Americans.Colonization did not just happened in the USA.
“Actually the first diaspora boat and slaves arrive in The Dominican Republic.Our Haitian & DR brothers & sisters were put against each other by their colonizers Spain & France. (sic)"
Cardi then suggested that the population isn't sufficiently well-informed about important historical events.
She said: "I wish I can speak more about history and the one sided history these school be giving us. Besides this whole “Latin lesson” that I’m giving ya there is soo much I have learn that if I speak on it I feel like the government will OFF me .I’ll just talk to myself about it tho. (sic)"
