Hip-hop star Cardi B took to Twitter on Tuesday to sharply rebuke conservative expert Candace Owens’ attacks on her and Megan Thee Stallion’s furious performance of their hit single WAP at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.
During a section of Tucker Carlson’s Fox program Monday night, Owens criticized the two rap stars and their prime Grammy appearance, saying: ‘It looks like an attack on American values, American traditions, and you’re actually trying to make children active. strive for things that are grotesque. … We celebrate perversity in America. ‘
At the Grammys, Cardi and Megan danced around a giant lucite heel and finally locked legs together in chrome lingerie. Instead of singing the sexually explicit chorus, they used the words ‘Wet wet wet’ to meet the network standards.
Cardi tweeted to Owens on Tuesday: “only you can monitor what your children are watching [no one] else. ”
“I believe you are being used to encourage young women to deprive themselves of dignity,” Owens replied.
Cardi responded with two nude photos of former model wife Melania Trump. “Only white women can be naked and show their sexuality and develop in their thirties, but I can not?” she wrote.
The debate escalated when Owens looked at Cardi to simulate sex with another woman; Cardi openly identifies as bisexual, and Megan has generally been attracted to women as well as men. Owens described the exhibition as “degenerates. ”
“At your best, you’re self-addicted and humorous,” wrote Owens. “At worst, you’re naked and push your vagina into another woman’s vagina while you push on top of her.”
Cardi immediately shared screenshots of a tweet on November 16, 2020 that Owens allegedly wrote about her husband having an affair with her brother.
Owens argued that Cardi fell for a doctored screen grab and then threatened her. Cardi has since threatened to sue Owens for the charge.
‘WAP’ caused enough right-wing outrage after the August release and provided feed to conservative commentators such as Ben Shapiro, who examined the lyrics on his podcast.
After Carlson aired the recordings of Cardi and Megan’s Grammys performances, he told Fox viewers that “they are deliberately trying to humiliate our culture and hurt our children.”
