Who do you support in the beef between Cardi B and Candace Owens?





Cardi B has cheekily fired back at Candace Owens’ criticisms of her steamy “WAP” performance with Megan The Stallion at the 2021 Grammys on Sunday.

“I don’t know why candy is so bothered by ‘WAP.’ I was just inspired by our former First Lady,” the rapper tweeted on Tuesday, along with an inked-out nude photo of Melania Trump.

But she does describe this behavior as wrong.

It’s not uncommon for musicians who came from humble beginnings have some illegal behavior in their past.

She speaks out for good causes these days.

is awful. So not her.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stalion's performance was inappropriate, tho. I don't want to see scissoring simulations on primetime tv. And while I understand that WAP is sex positive and they're owning it, and they're certainly free to make it and produce it, it's totally inappropriate for children, and I'm shielding my 10 year old from the over sexualization that she doesn't understand. Do I want this type of song to be normalized? Not really. Am I gonna go on a Candace Owens crusade for attention? Not really.

at all. I think it's objectifying herself the way women have been trained to do forever.

I have to say, I am also grateful that my teen thought it was horrible. (I feel like I've raised a feminist). When she was a bit younger, she and I watched a video of Nicki Minaj together and I analyzed it with her. It was soft porn, basically. But I thought it was good for her to hear what a feminist thought.

Perhaps that helped.

Is a movement where you embrace your sexuality. I get what you’re saying. I think some positive criticism of the performance is couched in that. My post was basically disagreeing with that.

I just think it's morphed into something way less than positive - for women. TBH, I've been hanging out with a bunch of young feminists online - and they see this the way I do. It's heartening (to me). I think as a group, they are still the minority - but their voices might be growing in strength.
