Archived: Cardi B Tweets About Crimes Against Women Following Murder of Andrea Bharatt in Trinidad.
Internationally acclaimed rapper, Cardi B, who has Trinidad and Tobago ancestry, has used her voice to speak out against crime following last week’s devastating discovery of the body of 23-year-old kidnap victim, Andrea Bharatt in T&T.
In a social media post, 28-year-old Cardi, who’s real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, said the pandemic is “getting in people’s heads.”
Since the discovery of the young court clerk’s body, many have voiced their disdain for what continues to take place in Trinidad and Tobago. Some have called for government legislation to afford for swifter justice for criminals when caught. Locally, a number of entertainers have spoken out against the killing of “our women”, many questioning when such acts will end.
Cardi B has used her voice and platform over the years, to place focus on crimes like the Breona Taylor police involved killing, and other political situations in the US.
