Cardi B is coming for Donald Trump’s neck—again.

The Bronx native took to X on Saturday to respond to comments the ex-president made during a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota that day, saying that if he’s re-elected, cops will have special legal protections.

"We're going to give immunity to police so that they can do their job," Trump said in the clip. "I'm giving federal immunity to police officers so they can do their job."

Cardi, clearly infuriated by Trump’s remarks, referenced Sonya Massey, a Black woman who was fatally shot by a white police officer in her home in Springfield, Illinois earlier this month.

"AFTER WATCHING SONYA MASSEY GET KILLED IN 4K …..just wow ….he never changed," Bardi wrote in her quote-tweet.

Chilling footage of the incident became public last week, which incited a huge response from celebrities, including Cardi, Joe Biden, Meek Mill, and Solange—video that clearly didn’t swap Trump’s opinion.

Last week, Cardi also questioned Trump when he promised at a rally that if he’s re-elected, Americans “won’t have to vote anymore” because he would “fix” certain issues that matter to “Christians.”

“Whistle blowing a dictatorship?” Bardi she tweeted, alongside an eyebrow-raised emoji.
