Cardi B is using her platform to support families across New York City by teaming up with Mayor Zohran Mamdani for a new initiative promoting free childcare. The Grammy-winning rapper will help judge a citywide jingle contest designed to raise awareness about the city’s upcoming 2-K program.
The program, set to launch this fall, will provide free childcare for young children, aiming to ease the financial and logistical burden for working families. As part of the campaign, New Yorkers are encouraged to submit original 15- or 30-second songs that highlight the benefits of the initiative, with Cardi B serving as one of the judges.
Cardi B, a mother of four, emphasized the importance of accessible childcare, noting that it can play a major role in helping women pursue their goals and careers. The contest is designed to engage the community creatively while spreading awareness about the new program and encouraging families to enroll when registration opens.
The winning entry will become the official jingle for the city’s childcare initiative and is expected to be featured in promotional campaigns. With Cardi B’s involvement, the initiative is already generating buzz, bringing attention to an issue that impacts thousands of families across the city.
