Cardi B gets flustered due to teleprompter glitch at Kamala Harris rally: ‘Sorry guys, I’m a little nervous’

She does not like it like that.

Cardi B was caught off guard when her teleprompter at Kamala Harris’ Milwaukee, Wis., rally on Friday had a technical issue, delaying her speech.

“One second, guys. One second,” the “I Like It” rapper, 32, told the cheering crowd. “Sorry guys, I’m a little nervous!”

She humbly added, “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. My whole life!”

Cardi admitted she “needs patience” as she continued awkwardly waiting to make her speech. “Patience, where are you girl?” she asked.

The “WAP” rapper appeared to find some patience — and confidence — and then finally riled up the fans by asking them if they’re ready to make history by electing the first female president.

“Are we ready to change the next eight years?” she excitedly asked. “Because we are going to make sure we have Kamala Harris in office for eight years!”

After her impromptu words, Cardi was handed a phone with her official speech written on it and was able to commence.

Most fans online seemed impressed with how the “Bodak Yellow” rapper handled the mishap, with one person writing via X that her execution was “flawless.”

“Cardi was nervous and the teleprompter broke but she pushed through and delivered the message she has been giving to us since day 1!!” another supporter raved.

“We love Cardi bc she is not the cookie cutter robot she is authentically herself always!!”

However, several others criticized Cardi for being “completely unprepared” to share her thoughts with the audience.

“This is just hilarious! So clearly, Cardi has no idea what she’s even endorsing Kamala for…” another hater quipped.

During her official speech, the rapper admitted that Harris, 60, “completely” changed her mind on the election.

“I did not have faith in any candidates…until she said the things that I wanted to hear,” Cardi said, per USA Today.

“Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog,” she went on. “I have been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited.”

The “Please Me” rapper continued, “Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better and still people question how we got to the top.”

Cardi also praised Harris for her compassion and empathy — before taking a dig at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his policies on women’s reproductive health.

“If his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, than I don’t want it,” she stated.

The Grammy winner further trolled Trump, 78, as someone who stands for “bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos and confusion.”

Cardi’s endorsement comes after Jennifer Lopez spoke at Harris’ Las Vegas rally on Thursday and defended Puerto Ricans following Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial jokes at Trump’s New York City rally.

Beyoncé also endorsed Harris for president at a Houston rally last week. She helped welcome the Democratic presidential nominee to the stage with her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland.

Fleetwood Mac rocker Stevie Nicks, for her part, confirmed she would be voting for the vice president during an interview with Rolling Stone in October and Taylor Swift endorsed her in September.
