“The kids in New York are so nasty” – Cardi B reacts to Javits Frimpong murder

According to Cardi B, the Javits Frimpong tragedy is the reason she would never raise a child in the Bronx or in parts of New York.

In a social media post, Cardi B, who grew up in the Bronx, said she would not raise a child in the neighbourhoods she named, or in the city’s public schools.

Speaking in the viral video, Cardi B stated, “Jarvis is the reason why I would never raise a kid in the Bronx, Harlem, Washington Heights. I will never raise a kid in a New York public school. I will never raise a kid in the hood. Let me tell you why. It is a game of survival to live in those places”.

“Even the kids that killed that boy, what is wrong with you? How do you wake up in the morning and say ‘today is a good day to kill someone who has not wronged or attacked me’?” she asked.

She further advised, “If you are in New York and you want to have kids, move out because the kids there are so nasty,” she said.

In related news, the New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced that US President Donald Trump has agreed to facilitate an immediate visa for the mother of 15-year-old Ghanaian boy Javits Frimpong, who was shot dead in the United States.

In a social media post on October 31, 2026, the New York City mayor said he had personally spoken with the US president, who agreed to grant the bereaved mother a visa without delay.

“The murder of a child is a pain no parent should have to endure, let alone from thousands of miles away.

“All of New York City is mourning this tragedy,” Mamdani wrote.
