Famous American rapper, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, popularly known as Cardi B, has showered praises on Muslims around the world who are currently observing the holy month of Ramadan.
Ramadan, which began on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and is expected to end on Thursday, March 19, 2026, is 30 days of fasting and prayer for those practising Islam. During this time, Muslims abstain from food, water and earthly pleasures from dawn to sunset, as part of one of the five pillars of Islam.

In a now-viral video circulating online, the Grammy-winning rapper applauded the discipline and commitment it takes to fast for almost 14hours daily for an entire month. She noted that going about that long without food or water requires serious dedication and loyalty to God.
Using herself as an example, the “WAP” crooner joked that God intentionally did not make her a Muslim because she cannot handle hunger for long.
Without hiding words behind her tongue, Cardi B publicly explained that hunger affects her mood badly, adding that she becomes irritable and struggles to function properly without food.
She said humorously:
“To my Muslims out there and non-Muslims doing Ramadan fasting, God knows not to make me a Muslim. If I wake up and I go three hours without eating, my head starts to hurt, and I start hearing voices.”
The singer, who recently got emotional on stage amid her alleged split from Stefon Diggs, explained that being a Muslim takes strength that is drawn from determination and devotion to God, something she describes herself as unfit to handle.
She added:
“I don’t have the strength to be a Muslim. When I am hungry, I don’t want to be around my kids. Muslims got so much; they sacrifice food, water and everything to serve Him. I love when people are loyal to their creator.”
