Cardi B has some words for Candace Owens after the conservative political commentator suggested the rapper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris was financially motivated.
In a post to X on Thursday (November 14), Owens outright asked Cardi if she was paid to speak at a campaign rally for Harris earlier this month.
“Hey @iamcardib — Working on a story and was wondering if you were in any way paid to speak at the Kamala campaign event you spoke at. Thanks in advance!” she wrote.
Cardi quickly clapped back: “I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!! I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be.. Like please girl you know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE!”

Elon Musk also previously tried to get at Cardi B for her endorsement, calling her a “puppet” after her speech got off to a shaky start when the teleprompter broke. The issue left her awkwardly waiting for someone to pass her a phone with her speech on it, but it went on without a hitch from there.

“Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words,” Musk wrote on X in response. “The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.”
ardi quickly clapped back at the Tesla CEO, writing: “I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you.
“But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm.
In a separate post, Cardi criticized unsubstantiated rumors that she was paid to support Harris at the political rally.
AD LOADING...
“I did not get paid a dollar for this…I actually been talking about these topics for the past couple years FOR FREE on ALL my platforms!!” she insisted.
“Before I was a celebrity I was a product of poverty for 24 years so you not gonna tell me what I want to see in MY community.”
