Currently, people know Zohran Mamdani as a Democratic Socialist contending to be the next mayor of New York City. However, before he became the dependable for NYC progressives, as he is now, he used to moonlight as a rapper – using Young Cardamom or Mr. Cardamom as a moniker.
Mamdani has humourously labelled himself as a “B-list rapper” and on his X account, which he used as a rapper, he promoted “Nani”, a tribute to his grandmother, that debuted in April 2019.
After Mamdani became popular, his song got attention too. The song features actress Madhur Jaffrey as his “nani” or grandmother, and starts off with Mamdani, or Cardamom, chastising her as “not a good nani”, he then starts rapping about being “the best damn nani that you ever done seen”.
