Cardi B Admits She Can’t Fast During Ramadan, Says Hunger Makes Her Irritable
American rapper Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, popularly known as Cardi B, has shared why she struggles to practice Islam, revealing that fasting for long hours is too challenging for her. In a viral social media video, Cardi B addressed Muslims observing Ramadan, admitting she cannot go more than three hours after waking without eating. She explained that prolonged hunger leaves her feeling unwell, gives her headaches, and makes her irritable. Cardi B said that God knew she was not meant to be a Muslim, highlighting her lack of the discipline required to abstain from food and water for extended periods. She also mentioned that hunger affects her mood so much that she avoids interacting with her children and even refrains from using her phone when she hasn’t eaten. Despite her personal struggles with fasting, the rapper expressed admiration for those who observe Ramadan, praising their dedication and willingness to sacrifice food, water, and comfort in devotion to God. She stated, “All my Muslims out there and my non-Muslims doing Ramadan, fasting and shit. God knew not to make me no Muslim. Bitch, if I wake up and I don’t go three hours without eating, my head starts to hurt, I start hearing voices and shit. “He knows, He knows not to make me no Muslim. He knows he ain’t want it. I don’t have the strength to be a Muslim. “If I wake up, I get like a three-hour limit. If I don’t eat in three hours after I wake up, I start to hear shit. I start cursing people out. “Bitch, if I’m hungry, I don’t want to be around my kids. No nothing. I don’t play on my phone. “I don’t play that hungry shit. They love their God so much that they’ve sacrificed food, water, everything to serve him. I love when people are loyal to their creator.”
