The Full Timeline Of The Fiery Candace Owens/Cardi B Feud
A feud between Candace Owens and rapper Cardi B blew up Tuesday evening when the “WAP” singer posted a doctored tweet and made repeated false claims about Owens and her family, sparking the conservative to announce that she will “100%” be suing Cardi.
The feud between the pair, however, did not start on Tuesday. For years, Owens, host of The Daily Wire talk show “Candace,” and Cardi, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, have engaged over politics and culture.
July 2019
Owens pushed-back on Cardi’s public support for then-presidential candidate democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and offered to give $250,000 to a charity of the performer’s choosing if she were to debate her positions against Owens or another black conservative. Cardi declined.
Charity* of her choosing. Sorry @iamcardib, I was thinking of Bernie’s political campaign when I typed this out.

Why don’t you use that 250k for a charity that will be more helpful.I like Bernie because since the 60s he’s been fighting for https://t.co/HJ7iDjllir looks like progression is really his passion.I still want to ask other candidates questions that my followers would like to know. https://t.co/yucoeBJdd3

September 2020
Owens appeared on Ben Shapiro’s “Sunday Special” in September and told Shapiro that his criticisms of Cardi’s raunchy song “WAP,” or “wet a** p****,” were correct. Owens also hit Democrats and then-presidential candidate Joe Biden for ignoring the press but making it a point to sit down with Cardi, whom Owens called “illiterate,” for an interview. Owens argued that it was “pandering” to the black community. “It’s basically saying, ‘black people, you are stupid, you are dumb,’” she said.
“Since most black people didn’t have the spine to admit that [Ben Shapiro] was 100% correct about [Cardi B] and how her music and platform contributes to the disintegration of black culture and values…here you go,” Owens posted to her Twitter account, captioning a clip from the “Sunday Special.”
“I completely agree with your assessment about Cardi B,” Owens told Shapiro during the show. “It is one of the biggest insults — if black Americans are not insulted by the fact that Joe Biden, who has been hiding in his basement for the entire year, made an appearance and came out because he was gonna do an interview with Cardi B? Do we have nothing better to offer?”
“You’re pandering,” the “Blackout” author said of the Democrats and Biden. “You look at Cardi B’s Instagram, you see she has millions of followers, and you think, ‘okay this is an illiterate person … they think she’s cool, she’s hip, just by sitting here and taking this interview, black people will vote for me.’ It’s basically saying, ‘black people, you are stupid, you are dumb.’”

The post sparked a response from Cardi, who claimed she had to publicly support Biden because her song is number one, and her sister and her sister’s girlfriend were allegedly “harassed” by a man in a “Make America Great Again” hat.
Owens took the rapper to task about Biden’s record and Cardi’s incoherent comments on policy and told the “WAP” singer that Sanders and Biden, who’ve both worked with Cardi, believe she’s “dumb” and used her.
The feud included an attack from Cardi on Owens’ unborn child: “Your baby singing wap wap wap this some dry a** p****yyy.” This led Owens to highlight Democrats’ ties to Planned Parenthood, an abortion mill founded by Margaret Sanger, a racial eugenist.
Never listen to a person that has private security but wants the public police defunded.
Never listen to a millionaire that made it here in America, but trashes our country.
These Hollywood idols are frauds, leading sheep down paths they never took when they discovered success.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 7, 2020
Amid the Twitter back and forth, Cardi took to Instagram to post a video about Owens, and Owens did the same in response.
“Joe Biden sat down with me to speak with me,” the rapper says in the video. “You know that interview. Two weeks ago, Fox News was really talking s*** about me too because Joe Biden sat down with me to do the interview. But let me tell you something … why wouldn’t Joe Biden want to sit down with me, Cardi B? I have millions of followers and I pay millions in taxes. I have the number one song in this country and the number one song in the United Kingdom. I have the number one song in Australia. I got the number one song in New Zealand. I’m heard all around the world. So, just like I can make people pop their p**** and have a good time and make them feel like a bad b****, I could also encourage millions of followers to go vote.”
“Now you’re saying that Joe Biden is pandering ’cause he’s using a popular figure like me?” she added. “But your president, the guy that you f***ing love so much, he panders as well.”
“Dear [Cardi B]. You know nothing,” Owens captioned her post. “Stop using your platform to call for more black deaths. Stop lying about Trump. Stop supporting Joe Biden who supported segregation and the mass incarceration of black men. I’m almost six months pregnant but got the time to rip you a new WAP.”
“You are uneducated when it comes to politics,” Owens said in the Instagram video, adding that she did not mean to “offend” Cardi but believes Biden was indeed using her and think she’s “an idiot.”
Owens argued that Cardi was misusing her platform and “hurting black America” by echoing the myth that our police system is systemically racist and a major threat to black people. Alternatively, Owens said black communities need “more policing” to save black lives.
The commentator dismissed Cardi’s touted “number one song” status with regard to politics, encouraging the rapper to “educate” herself on the issues, noting Cardi’s “Santa Claus list” rattled off to Biden. “I want this; I want this,” Owens mocked.
The author ended the post by telling Cardi she wants to send her book “Blackout” to help educate her on the issues the rapper says she cares about.
Owens, soon after, told The New York Post that she loved the battle between her and Cardi. “I love every second of this feud,” she said. “I was playing chess and she was playing checkers.”
The exchange ended with memes depicting Owens’ rhetorical domination of Cardi flourishing online.
She is still tweeting about me.

The feud sparked back up on Tuesday when Cardi commented on Owens’ criticism of the rapper’s raunchy Grammys performance, which included simulated sex acts with another female rapper.

“Just @ me next time, directly,” Owens said to Cardi. “You are a cancer cell to culture. Young black girls are having their minds poisoned by what you are trying to package and sell to them as ’empowerment’. I’m one of the few that has courage to tell you the truth. You should thank me.”

In the midst of the feud, Owens told Cardi, “You are insecure and I irk you because I see right through the facade. You are a part of a larger cancer that is manifesting in black culture. There’s no person in America who can look you in the face and honestly say they wish [their] daughters turned out like you.”

“We hear so many women complaining about how men treat women. Cardi B begs the question — how do women treat themselves?” she continued. “We can fix black culture, we can’t do it if we keep pretending it’s not broken. That performance was disgusting. Let’s start by calling a spade a spade.”

Seemingly uncomfortable with the discussion at hand, Cardi pulled up a video clip of Owens in the kitchen speaking to followers while she was nine months pregnant. In the video, Owens, tongue in cheek, says she was making a sandwich for her husband “as a woman should do.”
While invoking Owens’ husband’s race, Cardi then accused Owens — a successful author, commentator and activist — of setting a bad example for black women by making her sandwich quip.
“And black women should be more like you? After all the fighting for equality and freedom they should be submissive to a white a man after years of abuse & rape making them a sandwich while pregnant cause in your words ‘that’s what a woman should do’? Interesting,” she wrote.
“Making my husband a sandwich is not submissive. Cooking for your family is not submissive. Yes, a good woman should take care of her family. And yes, a good man does the same. My relationship is healthy. You can’t say the same so maybe take some notes,” Owens responded.

“If you think making your husband a sandwich is a sin, but popping your vagina into another woman’s vagina in front of the world is power — you are a lost soul,” the BLEXIT founder added.

The conservative also noted Cardi’s mentions of her husband being white. “You always love to mention my husband’s skin tone — so let me ask — what color are the people that are encouraging you to strip in front of the world? Who owns your record labels? Who owns CBS and the GRAMMY’s? Who made the most money off of your WAP? You sold it to who?” Owens questioned.

“I will literally make my husband a sandwich every single day of the week,” she wrote. “You’re struggling right now to change the topic because you are ashamed of your performance, and you should be. You look foolish trying to make your on-stage lesbian simulation about a sandwich.”
“Millions of young girls follow you,” the “Blackout” author said. “At your best, you are self-deprecating and humorous. At your worst, you are naked, shoving your vagina into another woman’s vagina while thrusting atop her. You were at your worst on the Grammy stage. Do better [Cardi B].”

An agitated Cardi then posted screenshots of a fake tweet and false blog posts about Owens and her family. Owens shot back that she would “100%” be suing the rapper for the false statements.
Captioning a photoshopped tweet designed to look like it was posted by Owens, Cardi tweeted: “Not you talking about two women thrusting their vaginas together while your husband and brother slap c***s and b***s together .WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT !wow.”
The fake tweet read, “Yes, my husband did cheat on me with my brother. Yes, he said no when I asked to join them.”

In another vulgar post, Cardi insisted the photoshopped tweet was not fake.
“This wasn’t photoshopped you was trending the whole day when you tweeted this and it was published on a lot of blog outlets,” the celebrity claimed. “Your right mine sleeps around yours sleeps at yours sleep at your home with your brother C*** BOXING while you tweet me.”
