She also said that police killings of black people need to stop.

“I feel like black people, we’re not asking for sympathy,” Cardi B said.

“We’re not asking for charity. We are just asking for equality.

“It’s simple. We want to feel like Americans.”

“I need someone to tell me the truth, the hardcore truth,” she said.

At the beginning of the interview Cardi B apologised to Mr Biden for being late.

“I feel so crazy because I’m a little bit late but Biden let me tell you something, when you have kids like the one my age, two years old, your schedule never goes as planned,” she said.

Mr Biden responded: “You’re telling me? I’ve got four kids, five grandkids, come on. I’m an expert, I understand about kids.”

He also praised Cardi B for using her platform to speak out on issues she believes in and urged younger people to register to vote.
