As much as she is loved for her aggressive music flow and position as one of the most successful female artists in contemporary music, Cardi B is also famous for her unfiltered public image. Not only does she unhesitantly speak her mind out, but the rapper is also as unapologetic for all her opinions and perspectives as ever, never taking criticism for how she truly feels.
This is also why she has often found herself getting under the fire as well, especially for her political opinions. But while she has always been there to defend herself, the events once took a surprising turn for theUpsinger back in 2019, when her high school teacher silenced her haters and critiques, who were bashing her for her political opinions, with the most enjoyable rant.
The Time Cardi B’s High School Teacher Backed Her Up
Politics is unarguably something that not everyone shares the same mindset about, andCardi B, for one, has proven to be a true political icon in this respective field despite all the criticism she receives over it. While her love for music making is one thing, what the rapper just can’t have enough of besides music is US politics – as she has made evident one too many times.
But the one iconic time that things took a different turn for her will perhaps forever be the time when theI Like Itrapper’s history teacher from high school, Joan Hill, jumped to her defense against critics and haters who rivaled her political opinion. This happened around half a decade back in 2019 when the singer was bashed by critics for endorsing the Democrats.
Back then, Hill took to her respective Facebook handle to defend her former student. As brought back to light by journalist@yashar on Xamidst the latest turn of events of the 32-year-old rapper campaigning withKamala Harrisin Milwaukee, the post was directly addressed to all the people on herfeedwho were ‘trashing Cardi B for representing a political voice.’

Slamming the slanderers, she revealed thattheWAPsinger was actuallya brilliant student throughout the time she was in her AP government class, mentioning she even aced her state exams with the comment, ‘She probably scored higher than you on the US History regents exam.’ Adding to this, Hill further had some of the choicest remarks for her former student’s detractors.

Continuing, she wrote, “You’re not nearly as busy as her, and what have you done to advance political discourse in this country?” all the while adding, “She has a national platform and is using it to speak about things that are important… why can’t we respect that?” But, perhaps, the best part was her concluding remark, which read, “STFU and take a seat.”
As iconic as all of this was, seeing it all come back to light has fans once again jumping in the policy nerd and FDR historian’s defense against her haters.
Fans Are Once Again Defending Cardi B Over Her Smartness
While people differing over their respective political views is an unavoidable situation, one can still respect the other’s views despite not agreeing with them. The most important thing throughout it all remains that the person needs to be an informed citizen who has done their research before opening their mouth. AndCardi B, for one, most certainly lines in that category.
This is why fans are once again rising to her defense while pointing out just how politically smart she is. Taking to the comment section of @yashar’s post on X, here’s what they have to say:
America automatically throws certain people into the “stupid” category until they prove otherwise.
She is smart af. I’ve come across clips of her over the years talking about taxes and policy and her speaking in her own voice and words doesn’t detract from sharing her perspective.And the FDR reference reminds me of her Hot Ones episode.pic.twitter.com/hLzcuHldF3
People struggle to reconcile her Afro-Latina accent with her love for history and PoliSci. That’s their issue, and it’s borderline racist.
Strong agree. Cardi is knowledgeable about civics etc.Hard for some people to grasp because of her accent, persona and look
Yep. I think that how she has become so successful & wealthy because people( mainly men I presume) underestimated her, think she is a bimbo but she is as smart as a whip. I kinda like that stealth moves always works in your favour!
That last point is key

With all of this being put out there, for what it’s worth, Cardi B’s intelligence and political savvycontinue to surprise critics, thanks to defenders like her high school teacher, Joan Hill, who schooled haters with her commendably fiery rant. To say the least, the rapper’s unapologetic voice and informed opinions are the perfect proof that brains and boldness can actually coexist.
