The Grammy-winning artist didn’t mince words when she criticized American fast food, saying, “It tastes terrible. It tastes like plastic.” She also expressed concerns about the impact of certain ingredients allowed in American food but banned elsewhere, suggesting that they contribute to the perceived lower quality and health risks associated with fast food in the U.S.

Cardi B didn’t shy away from sharing her personal experiences either, revealing, “I forgot why I haven’t eaten KFC in a long time. Like, it makes me sht. But it didn’t make me sht in Colombia.” These remarks have sparked discussions about food safety regulations, the influence of the food industry, and consumer health choices, with some fans supporting her views while others criticize her for potentially undermining an industry that employs millions in the U.S.
