Cardi B joins NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to judge free childcare jingle contest
المصدر: ARY News EN | Source: ARY News ENGrammy-winning rapper Cardi B is stepping into a civic role, teaming up with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to support a new initiative aimed at helping families access free childcare.
The Bronx-born artist appeared alongside the 34-year-old mayor in a YouTube video released Friday, April 3, where they announced a citywide jingle competition designed to encourage parents to enroll in New York City’s upcoming 2-K program. The initiative, set to launch this fall, will provide 2,000 free childcare spots for children aged 2 through kindergarten.
During the announcement, Cardi B praised Mamdani’s leadership, joking about his age while highlighting the significance of his role.
“Can you believe that we got a 34-year-old mayor? I feel like I’m a kid and you’re like, running New York,” she told the politician.
The mayor, in turn, asked the rapper about her views on free childcare, prompting a candid response.
“Sometimes us women, we can’t really go forward because we don’t have nobody to help us take care of our kids,” Cardi said, calling childcare access a “very important” issue.
The WAP singer further added, “Oh I would judge it for sure… I’m gonna judge, and he’s gonna give ‘cause he’s the one with the funds.”
Cardi B – a mother of four – has often spoken about the challenges of balancing career and family life.
