According to Cardi B, she's done her country a great service by allegedly taking no money for her endorsement which therefore validates her political commentary. Better yet, she claims she can take on Candace in a political debate.
But let's be clear: this isn't about the money; it's about the principle. It's about the dilution of political discourse when we let pop culture icons dictate our political agenda. Cardi B's claim of paying out of pocket doesn't change the fact that her involvement is more about boosting her image or aligning with the popular narrative than about genuine political conviction or knowledge. And her offer to debate Owens for free? It's a hollow gesture, knowing full well that any real debate would expose the superficiality of her political stance.
This isn't just a beef, and Owens isn't just picking a fight; she's holding a mirror up to the absurdity of celebrities like Cardi B thinking they can guide political thought. Conservative anger isn't just directed at Cardi B; it's at the system that allows political discourse to become so cheapened.
It's time for real voices, real arguments, not the watered-down spectacle of celebrities playing politician.
