Cardi B on Ramadan: “I Can’t Be Muslim, I Don’t Play With My Stomach”

American rapper Cardi B has opened up about her admiration for Muslims observing Ramadan, while candidly admitting she lacks the discipline to fast due to her relationship with food.

In a viral video circulating on social media, the Grammy-winning artist confessed that she struggles to go more than three hours after waking up without eating. She explained that hunger quickly affects her mood and physical well-being, triggering headaches and irritability.

“If I don’t eat within three hours of waking, I start feeling sick and get angry,” she said, adding that she often isolates herself from others, including her children, when hungry and avoids using her phone.

Cardi B remarked that God “knew not to make her a Muslim,” acknowledging she does not have the strength to abstain from food and water for extended periods as required during Ramadan.

Despite her lighthearted tone, she expressed deep respect for Muslims who fast, describing their devotion and sacrifice as admirable. She praised their loyalty to their faith, noting that they willingly give up basic comforts out of love for God.
