Cardi B slams Candace Owens in feud over Biden and Trump: Internet mocks ‘two women fighting over old White men’
Cardi B, who is known for her outspoken nature and brutally honest comments, got in a feud with conservative author and political commentator Candace Owens on Twitter. It all started when the latter posted a snippet of her fresh interview where she spoke about Cardi’s new controversial track ‘WAP’ and its influence on Black culture.
The pro-Trump activist captioned the video as “Since most black people didn’t have the spine to admit that @benshapiro was 100% correct about @iamcardib and how her music and platform contributes to the disintegration of black culture and values...here you go.”

Replying to her tweet, the Grammy-winning rapper, who has 14 million followers on the micro-blogging site, shared a video where a Black woman is being harassed by Trump supporters. She captioned the video as, “You wanna know why joe gotta talk to me Candice cause I have the #1 song & yet my sister can’t go to the beach in the Hampton’s wit out trump supporters harassing cause they were by themselves & Santa Claus was harassing my sis GF all because they are a Afro/Hispanic gay couple.”

The feud between Cardi and Owens led to an argument among social media users. A few supported Cardi B, whereas others backed Owens. One user said, “Candace Owens does not represent the black community in any shape or form. She’s simply just saying 'what you racist white folks wanna hear.' Ms. Owens is most definitely on someone’s payroll, Um via Fox News, or some Republican agenda to divide our communities.”

Replying to Cardi, one user shared, “You are the one who got used! @JoeBiden has been in office 47 years!!! He had a lot of time and opportunity to get things right. We,@RealCandaceO and I, feel sorry for you. Biden will bring just more government programs that will keep black and brown people in the projects.”

Looking at the fight gaining traction on Twitter, one tweet read: "What I don't like seeing is two Black women fighting over two old white men running for president...the fact that Candace Owens says Joe Biden is playing Cardi B but can't seem to get that white supremacists & Republicans have been tokenizing her ass for four years says it all."

This is not the first time when Cardi and Owens locked horns on a topic. Owens had previously called out the American artiste for doing sit-down with Senator Bernie Sanders in July last year.
