“Not three, not five but almost 15 minutes of a cop knees on a mans neck while handcuffed . It’s so sickening. Things have to change!!” tweeted Cardi on May 27.

The “Press” rapstress returned to Twitter to add, “They looting in Minnesota and as much as I don’t like this type of violence it is what it is. Too much peaceful marches, too much trending hashtags and NO SOLUTIONS! The people are left with NO CHOICE.”

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo fired Derek Chauvin, the cop suspected of placing his knee on Floyd’s neck, as well as three other officers involved in the incident. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office to charge Chauvin.
