(CNN) - Cardi B has a wish list she wants for the country and has shared it with Joe Biden.
The rapper - who is at the top of the music charts right now with the song she did in collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, "WAP" - sat down with aspiring Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for Elle magazine .
Even Cardi B seemed unable to believe what was happening and said at the beginning of the virtual chat, "Oh my ... Is this real?"
After Biden got him to call him Joe and introduce him to his daughter, Ashley, who said he was a fan of Cardi B. Biden joked that he and the rapper might be related, as his daughter's nickname for him was "Joey B".
He also congratulated Cardi B for landing the cover of Elle magazine and thanked her for her "generosity in dealing with people suffering from COVID-19," that was before the rapper started with her questions.
“I have a full list of things that I want our next president to do for us,” Cardi B. “But first, I just want Trump to come out. His mouth gets us so much in trouble.
The "I Like It" star said he does not want to be lied to, he wants a president to "tell me what the steps are to improve," as well as to have free college tuition, free Medicare, and "laws that are fair to both citizens blacks as well as for the police ”.
There is no reason why we can't have all of that. Presidents have to take responsibility, ”Biden responded. “I understand that one of your favorite presidents is Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt said that the American people can accept anything if they are told the truth. "
Cardi B, a married mother with a two-year-old daughter, also delved into the importance of childcare and the struggle in America.
"I feel that this country is so hurt, to the point that this year many people could not even celebrate the 4th of July, because not everyone feels American," he said. "Many people feel that [they are not] even part of the United States."
Biden agreed.
"One of the things I admire about you is that you keep talking about what I call fairness: decency, fairness and treating people with respect," he praised Cardi B.
Both also spoke about the importance of voting and Biden promised that if he is elected and makes mistakes, he will acknowledge those mistakes.
Cardi B said she would like to see that.
Just take a look at me; I've never broken my word, ”Biden said. Never in my life."
It's not the first time the rapper has sat down with aspiring presidential candidates.
She is famous for speaking to Bernie Sanders in 2019, and has even expressed interest in her own political aspirations.
