American rapper Cardi B has shared why she finds it difficult to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan by fasting, saying that going without food for long hours is just too hard for her. In a video that quickly spread online, she explained that she can barely last three hours after waking up without eating and when she does, she starts to feel unwell, gets headaches and even becomes irritable.
Cardi B said the intense hunger affects her mood so much that she avoids interacting with her children or using her phone until she has eaten. She openly admitted she lacks the discipline to fast for long periods and believes that “God knew not to make me no Muslim,” indicating fasting simply isn’t something she can handle.
Despite her struggles, she expressed admiration and respect for Muslims who observe Ramadan, noting their devotion and sacrifice in abstaining from both food and water throughout the day.
She also said that when she goes too long without eating, it affects her behavior making her impatient and prone to negative emotions which is part of why she finds the practice so challenging.
