As TikTok officially shut down in the U.S. on January 19, 2025, American rapper Cardi B made it clear that her career won’t be shaken by the ban.
The popular video-sharing platform ceased operations after its Chinese owners failed to comply with a U.S. law, enacted in April 2024 under President Joe Biden, mandating its sale to an American entity. While the ban has left many creators scrambling for alternatives, Cardi B confidently brushed off any concerns.
A social media user on X (formerly Twitter) attempted to shade the rapper, suggesting she and other artists who rely on TikTok for music promotion should start looking for "real jobs." The user, @1lex, wrote: “Now, all the female TikTok rappers gotta find real jobs. You first, @imcardib.”
Cardi’s response was both fiery and hilarious: “Babe, I’m getting a $7 million offer to do my own vitamins. I can retire you from your flipping burger job by tomorrow. Thank me though; I’ve been helping you get your $8.99 Twitter check.”
Her witty clapback not only silenced the critic but also highlighted her diverse income streams and thriving career outside TikTok. Fans quickly rallied behind her, praising her business acumen and sharp humor.
While many creators are grappling with the fallout of the TikTok ban, Cardi B proves once again why she remains a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
