Cardi B and Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino have expressed their strong disapproval of the 2024 presidential election result, which saw Donald Trump emerge victorious. The Grammy-winning rapper, 32, and the 61-year-old Hollywood director, both took to social media separately to voice their frustrations after it was announced on Wednesday that Trump would be returning to the White House.
On Instagram Live, Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Cephus, read aloud a comment from a fan suggesting she should attend Trump's inauguration. "I swear to god I'm gonna f–k you up, get away from me," she said during the video, which had over 37,000 viewers. "I'm sick of you! Burn your f–king hats, motherf–ker. I'm really sad. I swear to god I'm really sad."
Cardi B also expressed her pride in Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she spoke at a rally for in Milwaukee last week. "No matter what, I know that she's probably emotional right now. I know there's probably a lot going on in her mind and I know she's not listening to this, but she will eventually see it," she said. "I just hope she knows no matter what happens tonight, millions of people are proud of her. Women around the world are proud of her. Women of color are proud of her."
Hollywood filmmaker Tarantino also shared his discontent following Trump's projected win. "I am so sorry," he captioned a post on Instagram featuring a mock newspaper titled "Quarantino News," which humorously declared, "America dead at 248." "I genuinely did everything I could possibly do," he added.
Actress Christina Applegate and "Act Your Age" star Yvette Nicole Brown also took to social media to express their anger and disappointment over the election result. Meanwhile, actor John Cusack and "Glee" alum Kevin McHale echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the potential long-term impacts of Trump's victory.
Mary Trump, the former president's niece, also shared her disappointment, writing, "I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us." "Suits" and "The Wire" actor Wendell Pierce warned of the potential consequences of Trump's return to the White House, particularly concerning the Supreme Court.
Dictionary guru Susie Dent offered a tongue-in-cheek take on Trump's historic win, defining the word of the day as "recrudescence" (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
