This isn’t the first time Cardi B has been outspoken about the economy. In June, she had asked when the Biden administration would announce a recession.

The rapper added about the inflation and high-interest rates: “I was looking at some areas. The way that the prices soar up…like how are people surviving? I want to know. My family and my friends, they’re so grateful to have me, but it’s just like, what happens to people who don’t have a me?” Daily necessities such as food have so far remained expensive even as gas prices fell from June highs.

“All these promises are being made, but living is unbearable,” Cardi B said in a later video.

The latest inflation data released Tuesday showed prices rose at a hotter than expected 8.3% in August. The Consumer Price Index’s shelter index, which tracks the cost of rent and is a key input for the monthly federal report, increased 6.2% in August compared to the same month one year earlier. Shelter costs were also up 0.7% compared to July. 

However, the Post had reported real estate firm Redfin predicted the US housing market would remain especially frigid this winter due to the higher mortgage rates.
