The Grammy-winning rapper addressed the audience, as she compared herself to the vice president and said, “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. I’ve been underestimated.

The rapper also referred to Donald Trump as “Donald Dump” at one point as she criticised his claims to protect the rights of women. She said, “If your definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers, then I don’t want it.”
