Cardi B sent Sha’Carri Richardson some positive affirmations ahead of the 2024 Olympics, and she was moved to tears.
On Monday (July 22), Bardi shared a previously recorded video of herself and Richardson getting their nails done for an NBC/Peacock promo while the track star prepares to head to Paris for the Summer Olympics.
“Good luck @itsshacarri!!” Cardi wrote. “You bought so much emotion from me because your words and your spirit are so powerful. Seeing you grow after people tried to turn their backs on you is so inspiring to me. Already legendary @NBCOlympics “
In the video, Cardi also heaps praise on Shakari, saying at one point: “You’re like a girl that I can actually hang out with, really relaxed, really cool, really like, ‘Girl! She really looks like one of us! I was really proud of you and she was in tears at the end of the clip.
This will be Shakari Richardson’s Olympic debut after he was disqualified from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for marijuana.
At the time, Cardi B was one of many superstars to defend the runner, including Drake, Snoop Dogg and more.
“They know she eats,” Drizzy wrote on his Instagram Story.
DO-Double-G, one of hip-hop’s biggest users and a supporter of marijuana legalization nationwide, blasted the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s decision.
“Are you serious?!” Snoop wrote. “Marijuana? It does not enhance her abilities,” Snoop wrote.
In an interview with the Today Show, Richardson explained that she smoked to cope with the loss of her biological mother and accepted her punishment.
In other Cardi B news, the Bronx rapper recently showed off her raunchy side on Rob49’s new single “On Dat Money.”
Cardi’s collaboration with the New Orleans rant dropped on Friday (June 19). Cardi’s verse expands on the song’s theme, rapped by Rob49: “I’m a rich black person and I’m gonna fuck you with that money.”
“Fuck my money – bitch, we don’t need a bed/Put your money on me like you wanna die n-gga,” Cardi raps over some of the song’s mild bars. “Listen, give me the Zelle and pull my nails off/You’ll see what this throat does when you put Chanel on me.”
