At one point, Kimmel mentioned an idea for the rapper to run for New York City mayor, and she said the position is “something you have to be extremely responsible for.” “There’s so many things I want to do like, rats. Raccoons,” Cardi B said. “Want to get rid of them ... They’re everywhere. And you know what? Something about the rats, they scared of you. But the raccoons, they not scared of you they just look at you like, ‘why you in my backyard, my garbage?’” Earlier this month, Cardi B turned herself into authorities and was charged with assault in connection with a brawl at a New York strip club.
