Popular lightening rod conservative commentator Candace Owens recently criticized hip Hop megastar Cardi B’s interview with Joe Biden calling her a “dumb” and “illiterate rapper.”

Many in political circles questioned the Biden campaign’s decision to  have the presidential candidate appear in a one hour interview on zoom with the x-rated rapper.

Cardi B, the 27-year-old Bronx superstar, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is famous for her sexually overt songs and image as a former stripper and prostitute turned rapper. Most of her lyrics are sexually explicit and the main theme is usually about selling one’s body for wealth. Critics such as Candace Owen believe she is a negative influence in the Black community and to children

Cardi B has lyrics we would not print in a Jewish publication; however she is one of the most popular current pop music stars, and is a certified world superstar.

During an interview with fellow conservative commentator, Ben Shapiro, Owens said that it was “One of the biggest insults” to Black voters that Joe Biden decided to do an interview with an “illiterate rapper” rather than someone who could ask the “tough questions.”

“Do we have nothing better to offer,” Owens said. “This would be akin to Donald Trump deciding to give an interview to Justin Bieber.”

Cardi B conducted a virtual interview with Joe Biden for Elle magazine in August, and the “WAP” rapper defended the interview in an Instagram video addressed to Owens saying that Biden decided to sit down with her because of her wide-ranging influence, Insider reported.

In response the rap star said in an Instagram video:

“It’s not a secret I use my platform to encourage people to vote,” she said during the video. “I have millions of followers. I pay millions in taxes. I have the Number One song in this country, I have the Number One song in the United Kingdom, I have the Number One song in Australia, I have the Number One song in New Zealand.”

She added: “Just like I can make millions of people pop their p—y, I can make millions of people go vote.”
