The gesture struck a chord with 33-year-old Cardi B, who has long been open about her interest in politics and presidential history. The rapper, who has previously named Franklin D. Roosevelt as her favorite president, reacted with excitement and gratitude.

Fans online quickly embraced the unexpected pairing, with many calling the exchange both surprising and thoughtful. Others noted how fitting the gift was, given Cardi B’s well-documented fascination with government and history.

Carter was also spotted enjoying the concert in the crowd, dancing along before being recognized by other attendees — adding another layer to the night’s unlikely crossover moment.

One post on X showing Carter in the crowd went viral after people realized it was the former first daughter. 

Cardi B has said many times in the past that her favorite president was the 32nd president – Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The singer says Roosevelt was the real "Make America Great Again" president and she admired him for his work despite suffering from polio and being confined to a wheelchair.
