It's a media management decision. 

By mid next year, Trump's campaign during the primaries will run ads showing everyone who backed Biden in 2020. This is to cause them to stay out of politics. Which will reduce young voter turnout. Younger voters typically lean Democrat when they vote. 

You cannot market Anti-American sentiment. It's advertising death in a bottle. Nike managed to shift Kaepernick's anti-patriotic stance, which should have ended him, into "social justice"  That was one of the greatest media salvage jobs in recorded modern history. 

Being associated with Biden now, especially to celebrities with huge platforms, is akin to hating America, particularly working class America. Every candidate for office down the ticket will try to get photos of their opponents standing next to Biden, or release video with their opponent next to Biden. This is not just the GOP, but also the Progressives looking to primary out establishment Democrats. 

But it's too late. Many celebrities who backed Biden are going to take hits in their engagement numbers, merchandise sales, etc, etc. Cardi B is for Cardi B and she screwed up, she should have stayed in her own lane. There is close to no benefit to endorse any kind of politics in public if you are celebrity. Yes, it will get you into the national daily media cycle for the short term, but you are alienating up to half the country otherwise for the long term.
