Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has humorously explained why observing the Ramadan fast would be difficult for her, while openly praising Muslims for their strength and dedication during the holy month.
The US rapper made the remarks during an Instagram Live session that later gained attention online. Speaking candidly, Cardi B said she struggles to function normally if she goes several hours without eating after waking up, joking that hunger quickly takes a toll on her body and mood.
According to her, skipping meals for as little as three hours often leads to headaches and irritability, making fasting a major challenge. She added, in a playful tone, that she becomes easily grumpy when hungry and lacks the discipline required for prolonged fasting.
Despite the jokes, the rapper was quick to express admiration for Muslims observing Ramadan. She described their ability to fast daily as a sign of deep faith and commitment, noting that such devotion deserves respect.
Cardi B said she appreciates people who are loyal to their beliefs and creator, adding that the dedication shown during Ramadan is something she genuinely admires.
Her comments sparked mixed but largely positive reactions on social media, with many users applauding her for speaking respectfully about Ramadan while keeping the conversation light-hearted.
The rapper has previously shown public respect for Muslim culture. In December, she went viral during a performance in Saudi Arabia after greeting fans with “Salam alaikum” and using Islamic expressions on stage, moments that were widely shared online.
