There were rumours that she was paid for her appearance at the rally.

Addressing the rumours via her X handle, Cardi denied receiving any monetary reward for her outing at Harris’ rally.

“I did not get paid a dollar for this…I actually been talking about these topics for the past couple years for free on my platforms!! Before I was a celebrity I was a product of poverty for 24 years so you not gonna tell me what I want to see in my community,” she wrote.

The US presidential election is set to be held on November 5.
