Cardi B and Candace Owens might as well throw diss tracks at each other based on how much they’ve beefed. Moreover, for those unaware, the conservative commentator was displeased with the Bronx rapper’s support of Bernie Sanders, challenging her to a debate. Since then, the two traded shots on social media, becoming one of Cardi’s most high-profile political side quests. Of course, this caused a lot of conversation around whether rappers and celebrities like the 30-year-old should even enter the political realm in the first place. However, they appear to share a viewpoint in common, which Owens celebrated but the hitmaker dismissed.
Furthermore, it has to do with the submarine lost at sea, which houses a few billionaires among its patrons that traveled to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. After the stepson of one of these missing persons went to a blink-182 concert and replied to an OnlyFans creator, Cardi B said that this was insensitive and ridiculous posturing amid his family’s crisis. “We all know this day would come,” Candace Owens tweeted in response to her takedown. “Finally, I agree with @iamcardib and everything she said about the submarine stepson from hell.” But the “Put It On The Floor Again” MC isn’t letting bygones be bygones.
She probably thought that she would only beef with the stepson on this matter, but now Owens is in the ring. In response to her praise of her words, Cardi B replied with a GIF of a kangaroo munching, looking doubtful, resentful, or however else you want to interpret it. Clearly, a simple agreement isn’t enough to resolve their issues. Regarding the concert-goer, he claimed to have very little money, that the OnlyFans model is a friend of his and was just being cheeky, and that he went to the blink-182 show to cope.
Meanwhile, all this celebrity debacle is under tragic context, as oxygen on the lost submarine is presumed to have run out by this point. As such, hopefully people can stop making light of these situations and let these families process in peace. As for the future, we’re sure that this won’t be the last time that Cardi B and Candace Owens clash. For the latest news and updates on these opponents, stay up to date on HNHH.
Conservative TV show host and author, Candace Owens has again stirred up controversy with her recent anti-Black remarks. Owens, known for her provocative statements, has faced backlash in the past for her views on Black History Month, Juneteenth, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Her polarizing comments have drawn criticism from both the public and […]
Owens, who has yet to pass up an opportunity to use her long-running feud with Cardi for publicity, seized the latest, writing on Twitter, “We all know this day would come. Finally, I agree with @iamcardib and everything she said about the submarine stepson from hell.” Meanwhile, Cardi seemed less than impressed with this revelation, responding with a gif of a chewing kangaroo who somehow looks very skeptical.
Cardi had previously live-streamed her reaction to Brian Szasz’s post about going to the Blink-182 concert while his stepfather Hamish Harding was lost at sea (or under it, more accurately), saying, “You’re supposed to be at the house, sad. You’re supposed to be crying for me. You’re supposed to be right next to the phone, waiting to hear any updates about me.” Szasz took umbrage, calling Cardi a “pos trashy celeb” and accused her of “trying to get clout off me and my families suffering.”
Cardi later responded by pointing out that no one would have known who Brian Szasz was without his post, saying, “You was looking for clout all along, nobody knew who you were until you said that was ya stepdad!!! This is why people hate you spoiled brat billionaires yall soo desensitize.” (For what it’s worth, old news reports say Szasz has Asperger Syndrome, which can make people have a hard time relating to others and expressing emotions.)
The point was the whole world is praying for these people in the submarine and this man son is online shaking dicks for girls off onlyfans and going to Blink 182 concerts. You was looking for clout all along, nobody knew who you were until you said that was ya stepdad!!! This is… https://t.co/FQ8pfR55Ob
Of course, the truly sad part of all this is that in all likelihood, the lost submersible — if it hadn’t already imploded — has run out of oxygen by now. Barring some very unlikely circumstances, the five men inside probably won’t be making it back. Meanwhile, Szasz’s Twitter account has been deactivated.
If there’s one thing you can always count on Candace Owens to do, it’s stir the pot. Her most recent bout of antics arrived on Twitter earlier this week when the right-wing political commentator opted to turn her attention to JoJo Siwa’s TikTok page. In a five-minute video, the grown woman dissects the teenager’s social media posts, going so far as to accuse her of faking her sexuality. As you may recall, the Dance Moms alum came out as part of the LGBTQ community in January 2021. “I don’t believe JoJo Siwa is a lesbian,” Owens declared in her post from April 4.
“But the way, I want to state that very clearly, I do believe she’s desperate for attention,” the 33-year-old said of Siwa. “You’re not going to believe what she’s doing now,” Owens added before speculating about a romance between the internet sensation and former Disney Channel star, Demi Lovato. In the same year that JoJo came out, the Camp Rock actress also informed the world that she’s pansexual. “She did this for attention,” the talk show host doubled down on the relationship rumours. “I don’t believe she’s a lesbian no more than I believe Demi Lovato is a lesbian.”
JoJo Siwa Claps Back at Candace’s Comments
In the caption of her tweet, Owens once again pondered, “Is JoJo Siwa lying about being lesbian for attention?” While some of the internet is in agreeance with the mother of two, many others are slamming her for concerning herself with the love life of a 19-year-old when she has a family of her own. As the post continued to circulate online, Siwa eventually got word of it and didn’t hesitate to give her new nemesis the attention she was looking for.
“I haven’t watched the video yet… But if it has anything to do with your caption, respectfully, back the f*ck off,” she told the controversial figure. Candace Owens doesn’t appear to have responded to JoJo Siwa at this point, though she has posted other videos about heated conservative topics such as drag queens and the transgender community. Let us know if you think her comments on the teenager are out of line below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Owens has made a very successful living from being outspoken, especially within right-wing circles. Her estimated net worth is in the millions, and it’s clear she enjoys a lavish lifestyle with her husband. George Farmer is the CEO of the conservative messaging app Parler and a right-wing darling in his own right. However, for someone who makes her living bashing “snowflakes,”, it seems that Owens is not so adept at fielding criticism herself.
David Netto Slams Owens and Farmer
According to the Daily Mail, Owens and Farmer were making inquiries about the renovation of their home in Nashville. According to Owens, one of the inquiries was to David Netto. Netto, a well-regarded interior described by Architectural Digest as a “true designer’s designer”, is known for his stylish, upmarket designs. His work can be found in luxury homes and apartments across the US. He is also something an interior design rebel, having dropped out of Harvard to found his own studio in 2000. Per his website bio, Netto’s work is “known for trying to bring to modernism a touch of warmth and personality, and to traditionalism young energy and a dash of the exotic.”
Owens claims that her husband sent a “very polite” inquiry to email. Unfortunately, it appears Netto was apparently well aware of the couple’s reputation
“Dear George, thank you for your inquiry. I’d rather be hit in the ass with a wooden plank than ever go near either of you. Kind regards, David”
David Netto, per an email to George Farmer
Owens has publicly stated that she does not believe racism exists. Furthermore, her husband, who Netto corresponded with, is white. Despite these facts, Owens made very specific claims while voicing her disapproval. Owens argued that Netto would likely not have spoken the same way to a Black liberal. That claim cannot be substantial but what we do know is Owens and Farmer will have to look elsewhere for the renovation needs.
No, you didn’t enter the Twilight Zone—Candace Owens is speaking on the Super Bowl and isn’t complaining about the halftime show. Each year, the far-right conservative pundit takes to social media with millions of others to weigh in on the halftime performance. She has either expressed offense or disapproval from previous shows, mostly from women performers, but this time, Owens had a change of heart.
Everyone is chatting about Rihanna’s huge pregnancy reveal, but Owens focuses on the overall fashion choices. “I don’t want to jinx it but—- Rihanna is the first female Super Bowl performer in recent memory that has managed to keep her clothes on,” said the Daily Wire star. “Nudity doesn’t shock me anymore. Self-respect does.”
Many of her conservative followers were surprised by her take. It didn’t take long for them to become critics as they called out all conspiracies that had haunted Rihanna’s career. Still, the headstrong Owens was unmoved and continued to praise Rihanna. Apparently, Kanye West isn’t the only music-centered Hip Hop celebrity she’s grown fond of.
“I’ve always liked Rihanna. Something about her,” Owens added in a later tweet. “How conservatives lose culture: nothing wrong with Rihanna’s performance but finding things wrong anyway.” Still, that didn’t keep critics from mentioning a particular gesture they believed was inappropriate.
Despite the pushback, Rihanna was pleased with her performance. After the show, she was seen being escorted to a backstage area, where she was helped onto a cart. She spoke with awaiting reporters and beamed as she made her way to her private accommodations. A$AP Rocky was a proud partner and father as he watched RiRi from the crowd. Jay-Z was also high in the luxury seats jamming to the halftime show, and daughter Blue Ivy was busy posing with a few of the world’s biggest music stars. Check out reactions to Candace Owens’s tweets below.
An ally that we’re sure Megan Thee Stallion didn’t expect to have is Candace Owens. The case against Tory Lanez is inching to its conclusion as he defends himself against allegations of assault. Megan testified that Lanez shot her in 2020, but he says otherwise. His defense argued that it was Megan’s former best friend, Kelsey Harris, who pulled the trigger.
This case has garnered attention from commentators across the globe, including Candace Owens. She shared a 9-minute video online where she said she was “horrified” about this story.
“Megan Thee Stallion has credibly accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot,” Owens wrote in the caption.
“She turned down hush money and has been stabbed in the back by her friends, Instead of getting showered with support, Megan was mocked. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in her position.”
In the clip, Owens brought up an example of having a crush on a Black high school classmate who said he wouldn’t snitch. The boy stood his ground, even when asked if he would tell the police if he saw someone kill a child. Owens said she didn’t want any part of the street code many in the Black community adhere to.
“But what happened and what is playing out with Megan Thee Stallion in her real life, not in just her performance life, is one of the most hideous things that I’ve ever seen,” Owens also stated. “The fact that the person behind this has not been canceled is incredible to me.”
“Culture likes Tory Lanez. Men are also standing by him. No one’s canceled him. Again, he didn’t say anything, he did something. He actually did violence, he didn’t say any violence. I guess in our world, it’s totally fine. I haven’t seen demands for this man to be canceled.”
She added that there hadn’t been news about his record label dropping him before sympathizing with Megan.
“Having suffered something so obviously traumatic and being surrounded by absolute vultures.” Check out the clip above.
Juneteenth was, rather famously, the day that African-Americans in Texas were liberated after they were purposely kept ignorant of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and remained in slavery for more than two years after the practice was outlawed. But Owens is, for some reason, against making it clear that Black Americans weren’t really free on the 4th of July back in 1776 and recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday, like the Senate just unanimously agreed to do. So, Banks broke down for her just what a day in the life for a Black woman in America would’ve been like back then.
“According to this logic, on July 4, 1776, you would still be enslaved,” Banks wrote as the caption on a screenshot post of Owens’ tweet. “Most likely on the verge of starvation due to all of America’s food supply having been prioritized for the war, while you hand sew American flags and struggle to wet nurse some depressed 24-year-old white widow’s sickly child until your nipples are chapped and dry. Whereafter, you will be whipped by her 80-year-old uncle for your own malnourishment and inability to produce milk, then sent to toil over a wood-burning stove — blistering your hands while [being] forced to make a peasantly meal of biscuits and gravy.
You will be watched closely by her irate, sunburned and whisky soaked 80 year old uncle to be sure you do not sneak a single biscuit or fingerful of roux to yourself. after you’ve watched everyone eat, you will be sent to do the cleaning up. Your last task will be brushing the stressed and balding white widows hair to prepare for her sleeping bonnet, a deep rest in her comfortable canopy bed. Next your final descent down the stairs and out the back door where you proudly sleep on a bed bug infested pile of hay in a 6×4 cabin you share with 4 other slaves. Happy Independence Day @realcandaceowens.”
Cardi B is an example of the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” facet of the American dream that many conservatives preach. Through hard work and dedication, Cardi went from side-hustling as a stripper to becoming one of the biggest celebrities of our time. But despite her self-made status, her sexually-liberated persona is apparently enough to piss people off.
From Fox News hosts to right-wing commentators, conservatives love attempting to use Cardi to push their agenda and so-called culture war, and responding to their critics has recently become the rapper’s part-time job. Regardless of countless attempts to disparage her, Cardi never lets her name be slandered without putting up a fight.
Though it was released nearly a year ago, Cardi and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” continues to dominate conservative conversations about morality, femininity, and for some reason, Dr. Seuss. But Cardi’s lasting debate with right-wingers started well before the release of her infamously raunchy video. Here’s a timeline of conservatives’ many feuds with the rapper.
January 24, 2018 — Ben Shapiro drags “Bodak Yellow”
One of the first of many incidents of Cardi becoming the source of conservative media attention happened in early 2018 after her diamond-certified track “Bodak Yellow” took off. The song was actually released the year prior, but because many women used the song’s lyrics in protest posters at the Women’s March, the track was finally put on Ben Shapiro’s radar. He analyzed the lyrics line-by-line in a cringe-worthy video and attempted to use her own lyrics against her.
Biggest compliment I can pay Bodak Yellow is that the lyrics still smack even when read by Ben Shapiro pic.twitter.com/ejGckLzsNg
January 20, 2019 — Tomi Lahren sparks a Twitter fight with Cardi
Fox News contributor and conservative political pot-stirrer Tomi Lahren decided to spark a Twitter debate with Cardi after the rapper made anti-Trump comments. Tagging Cardi in a tweet, Lahren sarcastically quipped that the rapper was the latest “genius political mind” to endorse the Democrats, but Cardi didn’t let the slight go unanswered. Cardi responded by telling Lahren she was “blinded by racism,” and that Trump’s actions were actually “destroying” the country she claims to love.
You’re so blinded with racism that you don’t even realize the decisions the president you root for is destroying the country you claim to love so much .You are a perfect example on no matter how educated or smart you think you are you still a SHEEP! https://t.co/khRpoOt16B
January 22, 2019 — Cardi B defends City Girls amid conservative backlash
Cardi isn’t the only female rapper to face criticism over a raunchy video. When City Girls released their viral “Twerk” video, it was instantly criticized by pearl-clutchers who couldn’t stand the fact that some women feel empowered by showing off their bodies. After a conservative questioned what the song does to “empower” women, Cardi chimed in and came to City Girls’ defense.
It says to women that I can wear and not wear what ever I want. do w.e I want and that NO still means NO. So Stephanie chime in..If I twerk and be half naked does that mean I deserve to get raped and molested ? I want to know what a conservative woman like you thinks https://t.co/8UBQQzO6jK
June 18, 2020 — Conservatives pull Cardi into a conversation about Aunt Jemima
When the Aunt Jemima brand was discontinued to to it’s proliferation of problematic racial archetypes, Cardi was somehow pulled into the conversation. One critic posed the question, “Aunt Jemima is degrading to Black women but Cardi B isn’t?” In response, Cardi stood up for herself while also speaking truth to the controversy in a since-deleted tweet. “Why you conservative Republicans always use my name to get viral tweets?” she wrote. “‘Cause how me & Aunt Jemima correlate? Aunt Jemima is degrading because it’s a symbol that implies black women are only good to be massa servant or cookin’ nanny — THATS WHY!”
July 31, 2019 — Candace Owens challenges Cardi to a debate
Conservative contributor Candace Owens has recently become one of the most vocal critics of Cardi. After the rapper showed her public support of Bernie Sanders, Owens offered her $250,000 to join her in a political debate. But Cardi had the perfect response. “Why don’t you use that 250k for a charity that will be more helpful,” she asked.
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
August 7, 2020 — Cardi and Megan Thee Stallion release the “WAP” video
After Cardi and Megan dropped their internet-breaking “WAP” visual, several conservative politicians thought it best to offer their less-than-nuanced takes about the video. One conservative congressional candidate from California, who said he “accidentally” heard the song, tweeted that Cardi and Megan are “what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure.” He also noted that it wanted to make him “pour holy water” on his ears.
Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion are what happens when children are raised without God and without a strong father figure. Their new “song” The #WAP (which i heard accidentally) made me want to pour holy water in my ears and I feel sorry for future girls if this is their role model!

August 10, 2020 — Ben Shapiro reads the “WAP” lyrics
In the days following release of the “WAP” video, Ben Shapiro decided it was best to, like with her song “Bodak Yellow,” unpack “WAP” line-by-line. He read each lyric, infamously referring to p*ssy as “the p-word,” and calling the song “really really really vulgar.”
August 18, 2020 — “WAP” was used to promote a Republican boat party
After days of hearing right-wing criticisms of “WAP,” Cardi decided to do some trolling of her own. She stumbled across a video of a bunch of teenagers attending a Trump-supporting boat party which co-opted her track “WAP.” But Cardi expressed her disapproval after catching wind of the video. “I’m callin the fbi on this festivity,” she wrote. “They are not quarantining”
Wasn’t republican conservative throwing a little fit bout this song ?……..Anyways this makes my ass itchy. ….I’m callin the fbi on this festivity.They are not quarantining pic.twitter.com/kL3kuKChAm
August 19, 2020 — Tucker Carlson loses it over “WAP”
Since nearly every other conservative thinker was offended by Cardi’s “WAP” video, Tucker Carlson didn’t want to be left out. Carlson absolutely lost it in a segment on his show he dedicated to the track, where he moaned about the salacious lyrics and tried to argue that it’s hurting children. “Ask yourself, above all, and ask it more than once — What is this doing to our kids?” he said. “The people pushing it are clearly trying to hurt your children. Why is nobody pushing back?”
Tucker Carlson rips into the song “WAP” by Cardi B:
“That’s garbage. It’s aimed at young American girls… People are getting rich pushing that crap on the country and they should be ashamed of themselves.” pic.twitter.com/e4QQnnA7mz
September 7, 2020 — Candace Owens calls Cardi “illiterate”
When Cardi was able to score an interview with the then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, conservatives weren’t happy. Candace Owens, in particular, used the interview to promote her own political views. She along with calling Cardi “illiterate,” Owens said “her music and platform contributes to the disintegration of black culture and values.” But Cardi continued to assert that her no. 1 single actually proves she’s able to use her massive following to encourage young people to vote.
Yes you are right I have the number 1 song & I have a huge platform and I can make millions go vote to get the MAN THAT USED YOU .I don’t want to argue with you Candace I really don’t have the time .I honestly just feel sorry for you. https://t.co/haACwKRN13
December 2, 2020 — Cardi takes credit for Candice Owens’ popularity
Candace Owens’ many tiffs with Cardi led the rapper to conclude that their feuds only give Owens more of a following. Explaining why she decided to join OnlyFans, Cardi said: “There are certain things that I want to get more personal on, and I don’t want to get on Instagram Live and talk about it because blogs are gonna chop it up. There’s certain people I want to curse out, but I don’t want to give them clout. For example, when me and Candace Owens got into an argument, I gave that b*tch 2 million followers.”
Jan 4, 2021 — Cardi defends shielding Kulture’s ears from “WAP”
While on an Instagram Live, Cardi was blasting her track “WAP” until she noticed that her young daughter Kulture had snuck into the room. Cardi frantically turned the song off due to its explicit nature, which apparently rubbed people the wrong way. One person asked, “So ya daughter cant listen to it but everybody else’s daughter can?” Cardi quipped back that she makes music for adults — not kids. “Parents are responsible on what their children listen too or see,” she wrote. “I’m a very sexual person but not around my child just like every other parent should be.”
Ya needs to stop with this already ! I’m not jojosiwa ! I don’t make music for kids I make music for adults.Parents are responsible on what their children listen too or see.I I’m a very sexual person but not around my child just like every other parent should be. https://t.co/LRH3APdp9A
March 16, 2021 — Tucker Carlson names Cardi B’s Grammys performance an attack on “American values”
If the “WAP” visual didn’t give conservatives enough to complain about, Cardi and Megan gave an equally-raunchy 2021 Grammys performance of the song. To discuss the issue, Carlson tapped infamous Cardi hater Candace Owens to break down the set. During their segment, Carlson calls the performance “sinister” and expresses his concern for children — all while repeatedly airing clips of the performance. “This is starting to me to seem like it’s not even left or right, it’s not a political issue,” he said. “This seems like an attack on American values, American traditions, and you’re actually actively trying to make children aspire to things that are grotesque.”
March 15, 2021 — Cardi was brought into a conversation about the Dr. Seuss book ban
Dr. Seuss Enterprises decided to pull six books from publishing this year due to racist imagery. Though the decision had nothing to do with rap music, Cardi was pulled into the conversation by a conservative who somehow thought that kids are being taught “WAP” in schools. Just like the Aunt Jemima controversy the year prior, Cardi was made to defend herself while also educating people on why the books were offensive in the first place. “I get it wap might be a lil vulgar but stop comparing a sensual song to books that has RACIST content,” she wrote back.
When has a school made kids read the lyrics to wap? I get it wap might be a lil vulgar but stop comparing a sensual song to books that has RACIST content! How can ya not tell the difference?I see that common sense aint that common. https://t.co/xyzbzrPZri
April 22, 2021 — A conservative legislator brought up Cardi on the floor of the House of Representatives
Another day, another conservative partially blaming Cardi for “the moral decline of America.” Using the rapper’s Grammys performance as an example, Wisconsin Representative Glenn Grothman complained about the FCC’s regulations. “I received complaints in my office, and rightfully so, about Cardi B and the Grammys,” he said on the floor of the House of Representatives. “They wonder why we are paying the FCC if they feel that this should be in living rooms across the nation.”
Cardi, of course, put things into perspective: “I think we all been on the edge this week since we seen police brutality back to back including watching one of the biggest case in history go down DUE to police brutality but wait ! This is wat state representative decide to talk about.”
This gets me so mad ya don’t even know! I think we all been on the edge this week since we seen police brutality back to back including watching one of the biggest case in history go down DUE to police brutality but wait ! This is wat state representative decide to talk about https://t.co/k2ZBn9gONA
