2 days ago Cardi B responded on Twitter, asking why a U.S. Representative would bring up her performance when the country is still dealing with issues of.
The dispute started after Owens on Monday criticized the New York rapper's performance of her hit song 'WAP' at the Grammy Awards on Sunday alongside fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Grothman claimed on the House floor earlier on Thursday that he’d received complaints about last month’s. Cardi B posted a nude photo of former first lady Melania Trump, but Twitter found no issues with it. The 'WAP' hitmaker shared Trump's full-frontal naked photo taken years ago for a modeling job. Cardi B and Candace Owens' Twitter fight is far from over. The 28-year-old rapper fired back at the conservative commentator's criticisms by posting a photo of former First Lady Melania Trump.
Owens told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the performance was a 'spectacle' and a display 'of blatant nudity and sexualization.'
Cardi B later tweeted a clip from the show and sarcastically thanked the conservative commentator on social media.
'Matter fact I'm just going to thank Candy,' Cardi B wrote in a since-deleted post, according to Vulture. 'She put my performance on Fox News giving it more views that boosted the views on YouTube and is counting towards my streams and sales.'
'Wow. Imagine if wap caused the downfall of the American empire and not North Korea bomb threats, terrorism, racism or bad government?' the rapper also tweeted.

I don't work for Fox News, Belcalis, nor do I take issue with you having success.
I take issue with you being used to encourage young women to strip themselves of dignity.

The women continued trading barbs on social media this week, with Cardi B sharing several tweets that purported to show Owens saying that her husband had an affair with her brother.
Owens maintained that the tweets were photoshopped and threatened to sue the rapper for slander against her brother.
The rapper later threatened in a since-deleted tweet to countersue Owens for alleging that she shared fake or edited photos.
'Just spoke with my family. I am 100% suing Cardi for that nonsense. You can't just start throwing out wild lies against private members of my family because you're upset someone called your out on your degenerate performance,' Owens tweeted on Tuesday.
I am literally laughing out loud.
