Rapper Cardi B took the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to introduce Kamala Harris at a rally in the city on Saturday. The singer's appearance on the stage resulted in low-key chaos after her teleprompter broke down and she had to handle the crowd by trying to cheer them up. In the process, she made some gaffes that continued to go viral for hours after the event.It drew so much attention on social media that Elon Musk, the billionaire endorser who has been actively backing Trump this campaign trail, reacted by calling the singer from Wisconsin a "puppet." Here's the viral video of the rapper struggling to deliver her speech, reading from the phone as her teleprompter broke down. The rally took place at the Fair Park Exposition Center in Wisconsin on Saturday evening. As the singer appeared at the podium and was about to start speaking, she noticed a fault with the teleprompter. "One second! One second!," she said."Don't take lightly the call," she started, but could not continue. “I'm sorry guys, I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous guys, I've been waiting for this moment this whole life, my whole life,” she said. As she signalled to the operators that she needed help, she said to the crowd: I need patience over here, patience where are you girl? I need patience over here!” After that, someone from her team handed her a phone where the text of the speech was written and then she could finally begin. “I did not have faith for any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear — things I want to see next in this country," the rapper said. "I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth; she’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all, she is not delusional.”
