Derrick Johnson and Cardi B
NAACP President Derrick Johnson wants Cardi B to reconsider her decision to not participate in the upcoming election cycle. The Bronx-bred superstar spoke candidly to Rolling Stone in a new cover story about being disappointed in U.S. diplomacy and politics, which has led her to opt out of exercising her right to vote.
“Cardi B, let’s talk about it. Your voice matters, and our communities have to look beyond the presidential race. I invite you to speak with the NAACP on how we can all use our collective power this November to elect everything from mayors to school board members,” tweeted Johnson. The “Bongos” rapper has not publicly responded to the invitation.
