Cardi B reacts to Karmelo Anthony verdict — draws fierce backlash online
New York Post ^ | Jun 10, 2026 | Caitlin McCormack

Grammy-award winning rapper Cardi B came under fire for criticizing the verdict for Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial hours after he was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Tuesday.

Anthony, 19, was found guilty in the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a high school athlete he fatally stabbed at a track and field meet in Frisco, Texas in April 2025.

Cardi B blasted the verdict in a viral post on X.

“Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!” she wrote.

Lame-duck Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) also offered her reaction to the trial – and seemingly implied that she too would have stabbed Metcalf.

“If a 300-pound man is beating me, like on top of me and beating me down, I’m not limited to fists,” Crockett said during Tuesday’s episode of “Clock It with Crockett.”

The murder trial was highly politicized as Anthony’s sympathizers painted Metcalf as a white bully targeting a black competitor. His supporters raised more than $600,000 for his defense on a since-deleted GiveSendGo page.

Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest during a dispute over seating at the meet, where their rival high schools were set to compete.

Kind of comes down to that blacks believe it is allowable to kill anyone if they think there is any kind of racism.

The evidence and the witness testimony at the trial, many of whom were themselves black, obviously doesn’t match this dishonesty and stupidity.

We truly live in two separate countries and the chasm is growing wider.

I’m trying really hard to think of a reason why I should care what either of these two idiots think. So far...nothing.

They’re just trying to make an example (of discouraging people for needlessly stabbing people to death).

If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.

Innocent kid stabbed to death and the sentence simply followed the law as set out.

Get a clue, Cardinals. Your boys a murderer.

Now asked her about George Zimmerman.

Oddly congruent with the beliefs of at least two other "groups" that have emerged in the USA, in recent years.

Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest during a dispute over seating at the meet [...]
"But my ticket plainly reads: 'Row 8, Seat 13!'"

"Nuh-uh!"

That is a "dispute over seating!"

Carmello came to the meet, carrying a concealed weapon, spoiling for a confrontation.

You go out and kill someone from an unpopular group and then raise $850,000 off your Hate Crime.

What do you think happens?

Do you think they let you keep that money? Do you think those funding Entities allow you to raise and spend that money? Do you think the people funding you aren’t Investigated? Do you think the charges don’t spread to other Agencies that have authority?

Hell, do you think you are allowed to walk free awaiting Trial?

Don’t Try this at home.

Is Cardi B stupid?
Yup.
On what planet does a black boy cold bloodedly stab a white boy in the heart and murder him and get away with it?
This is Texas not New York.
They don't tolerate such nonsense.
