While this may be the first time Sha'Carri Richardson and Cardi B have met each other, it isn't the first time the rapper has shown her support for the sprinter.

Back in 2021, Richardson was handed a month long suspension after she tested positive for marijuana usage. This came right after she topped the US Olympic Trials for the 2020 Tokyo Games, and the athlete was subsequently forced to miss the Games.

Amidst the criticism that Richardson was receiving, Cardi B was quick to show her support. The rapper wrote ‘Me too’ when reposting a tweet from a fan that read:

“Praying for Sha’Carri’s mental health. The whole world was screaming her name two days ago & now people have turned their back on her.”

Fast forward three years, and Sha'Carri already has two World Championship gold medals to her name,
