Cardi B's new single 'Ah Ha' takes aim at Donald Trump

Rapper Cardi B (Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) released the single “Ah Ha” on July 31, produced by DJ SwanQo. The track includes a pointed lyric aimed at former President Donald Trump: “I’ll give a ho exactly what she want in this b–– / Black trucks at the club, look like Trump in this b––, f— him.” The verse also references the Jeffrey Epstein files, continuing Cardi’s pattern of mixing politics with her music.

Cardi B, a former Bernie Sanders supporter, has previously appeared at a 2024 Democratic rally, criticized proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and engaged in online disputes with Trump allies and the Department of Homeland Security. Experts quoted in the coverage note that such political lyrics reinforce her brand, trading broader appeal for deeper engagement with her core audience.
