Cardi B has playfully fired back at Fox News reporter Candace Owens for her criticism of her performance of her hit song WAP at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion cleaned up the lyrics to their raunchy song to make their performance more family-friendly. However, it did not seem to be enough for Owens and her co-host Tucker Carlson; who spent a near five-minute segment decrying their WAP performance.
Cardi retweeted their segment, writing “Yaaaayyyyyyy WE MADE FOX NEWS GUYS !!! Wap wap wap.”
“They’re intentionally trying to degrade our culture and hurt our children,” Carlson said. Owens added that, “Virtually, what we were looking at last night was a lesbian sex scene being simulated on television, and this is considered feminist.”
“This feels more sinister. This is starting to me to seem like it’s not even left or right, it’s not a political issue. 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,” Owens remarked.
Meanwhile, they played several clips of the performance that offended them. “We are celebrating perversity in America,” Owens added.
“Anyways congrats on your new show I hope you speak more about WAP I need it to reach a new Audience to go 6x platinum,” Cardi wrote on Tuesday. “Any exposure will help. Love you candy.” The tweet spawned several heated exchanges between Cardi and Candace Owens that continued on Tuesday; with the two threatening to sue each other.
