Hip-hop star Cardi B accessed Twitter on Tuesday to strongly resist attacks by conservative analyst Candace Owens on her and Megan Thee Stallion’s sassy performance on their single “WAP” on Sunday night at the Grammy Awards.
During a segment of Tucker Carlson’s Fox program on Monday night, Owens criticized the two rap stars and their appearance at the Grammy, saying, “This looks like an attack on American values, American traditions, and you are, in the in fact, actively trying to raise children to aspire to things that are grotesque. … We are celebrating wickedness in America. “
At the Grammy, Cardi and Megan danced around a giant lucite jump and eventually locked their legs together in chrome lingerie. Instead of singing the sexually explicit chorus, they used the words “Wet Wet Wet” to meet the network’s standards.
Cardi tweeted to Owens on Tuesday: “only you can monitor what your children watch [no one] other.”
“I disagree with you being used to encourage young women to strip themselves of dignity,” Owens replied.
Cardi responded with two nude photos of the former model who became first lady, Melania Trump. “Only white women can be naked and show their sexuality and evolve in their 30s, but I can’t?” she wrote.
The debate grew when Owens criticized Cardi for simulating sex with another woman; Cardi openly identifies herself as bisexual, and Megan generally expressed an attraction to women as well as men. Owens described the screen as “degenerate. ”
“At best, you are self-deprecating and good-natured”, wrote Owens. “At worst, you’re naked, pushing your vagina into another woman’s vagina while pushing on top of her.”
Cardi promptly shared images from a tweet dated November 16, 2020, which Owens allegedly wrote about her husband having an affair with his brother.
Owens argued that Cardi fell in love with an adulterated screenshot and threatened to prosecute it. Cardi has since threatened to sue Owens on the charge.
“WAP” generated great outrage from the right after its release in August, providing food for conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro, who examined the lyrics of your podcast.
After showing images of Cardi and Megan’s Grammy performance, Carlson told Fox viewers that “they are intentionally trying to degrade our culture and harm our children.”
