Cardi B doesn’t just set records—she sets the record straight (and with flair, of course).
This week, conservative commentator and self-proclaimed drama magnet Candace Owens decided to slide into the digital DMs of the entire internet (via X, aka the app formerly known as Twitter) to throw some shade Cardi’s way. Why? Because the 32-year-old “Bodak Yellow” queen dared to speak at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin.
Here’s the tweet that started it all:
“Hey @iamcardib — Working on a story and was wondering if you were in any way paid to speak at the Kamala campaign event you spoke at. Thanks in advance!” chirped Candace, the 35-year-old champion of poking bears for sport.
Now, anyone who knows Cardi knows she doesn’t wait for her PR team to carefully craft a response. She hopped on her account faster than you can say “Okurrr” and let the people know the tea.
“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!!” Cardi snapped back, invoking her family like a true boss. “I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be. Like, please girl, you know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE.”
Translation? Cardi didn’t just show up; she showed out—and on her own dime. Candace, take notes: This is what passion looks like.
But oh, Candace wasn’t done. She hit Cardi with a soft “Okay thanks for the response! I didn’t see your name in the report so wanted to tweet and ask.”
For those keeping score, that’s the rhetorical equivalent of “Oops, my bad… but not really.”
This isn’t the first time these two have traded digital blows. Back in 2020, Cardi went off on Candace for calling her an “embarrassment” to Black people, proving that their feud has more history than a high school textbook.
Moral of the story? If you come for Cardi, you better pack snacks, hydration, and a solid Wi-Fi connection, because she will drag you—free of charge.
