Candace called out Cardi for deleting her "defamatory" tweets.
UPDATE at 6:58AM PT ON MARCH 19 2021
Candace Owens added more fuel to the fire on Thursday in the ongoing Twitter feud with Cardi B.
After Cardi deleted posts containing phony tweets regarding Candace's family, the conservative commentator brought it to the attention of her fans.
"Gee. I wonder what made @iamcardib delete the photoshopped tweets regarding my husband and brother," Candace tweeted. "Too late, degenerate. You mess with my family, I won't stop until I'm the CEO and chairman of that WAP."
Cardi was quick to respond, posting, "Actually I deleted all the tweets between us from the beginning because my platform is for fun and entertainment. The tweets between me & you was not entertaining anyone. It was getting boring. Get a life Candy it's been two days."
However, Candace called out the rapper for allegedly only deleting the tweets that Candace branded a clear case of defamation.
"I am a forgiving person but Cardi KNEW the tweet was doctored, KNEW it was about private family members and spent a full day lying to her millions of fans saying she KNEW it was real," she tweeted.
Cardi's clap back was clever and concise as she said she did indeed delete the tweets and the proof was in a provided link... a URL for her "Up" video on YouTube.
ORIGINAL STORY AT 11:08PM PT ON MARCH 16, 2021
It started out all fun and games for Cardi, but before the night was through Candace was threatening to sue for defamation and Cardi was threatening a countersuit of her own.
At first, after Candace Owens trashed Cardi B's Grammys performance of "WAP" during an appearance on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, Cardi appeared to be having fun with the right-wing pundit.
But things quickly got more serious as Candace laid into Cardi as a terrible role model for young women, and Black culture, with Cardi accusing Candace of setting "women Black or white to hundreds of years back" and even pulling out an old tweet of Candace praising Cardi for her self-expression.

View StoryBefore the night was through on Twitter, Candace was threatening to sue Cardi for defamation, and Cardi was threatening to countersue over allegations that she'd photoshopped a tweet.
When it all began innocently enough on Monday night, it was all joy from Cardi as she shared footage of Candace and Tucker blasting her performance on his show, captioning her share, "WE MADE FOX NEWS GUYS!!"
In the clip, Candace said that Cardi's performance represented "the destruction of American values and American principles. And it’s terrifying! Parents should be terrified that this is the direction that our society is heading towards."
The following day, Cardi jumped back onto the social media platform to directly thank Candace for talking about her performance, thus "giving it more views," which ultimately means more money for her.
She concluded that tweet by saying, "Remember grown parents, only you can monitor what your kids watch, no one else."
Candace quickly shot back, saying that Cardi is "being used to encourage young women to strip themselves of dignity," falling on the archaic patriarchal notion that "men typically treat women how they treat themselves."

View StoryCandace was ruthless in her attacks on Cardi, at one point calling her "a cancer cell to culture," saying that she's poisoning young Black girls packaged as "empowerment." She went on to suggest that Cardi does this because she doesn't believe she can be more than someone who takes off their clothes herself.
Cardi then cited Melania Trump's nude modeling past as inspiration, which only pushed Candace even further. "You are digging up modeling shots from our former First Lady from 3 decades ago," she wrote. "She has evolved. You have not. What you did at Grammy's was disgusting. Own it."

View StoryCardi pushed back against that argument by saying that Melania showed her that she, too, could be First Lady one day. Or is it that "only white women can be naked ands how their sexuality and evolve in their 30s, but I can't?"
In response to this, Candace doubled down on claims that Cardi is "part of a larger cancer that is manifesting in Black culture." She further added that "there's no person in America who can look you in the face and honestly say they wish their daughters turned out like you."
Cardi then shared a clip of Candace saying that she was doing what a woman should be doing, making her husband a sandwich in the kitchen, adding with a giggle, "Nine months pregnant and barefoot."

Candace shot back that it's not submissive to "take care of" your family. "My relationship is healthy," she tweeted. "You can't say the same so maybe take some notes."
She then went on to a more pointed attack on Cardi's performance with Megan Thee Stallion before calling out the skin tone of the people behind Cardi's career. "Who made the most money off your WAP?" she asked. "You sold it to who?"
Cardi's response to this was to cite white-created stereotypes of Black women as "only being good in the kitchen and taking care of children, also known as the 'mammy.'"
She then attempted to pivot to an old tweet from Candace Owen where she cited Cardi, along with Denzel Washington, as one of her "predictions for the Black revolution for free thought."
"She doesn't pay attention to politics but if she did she would be a Kanye mindset," Candace wrote in the 2018 tweet. "She believes in freedom." This was, of course, before Cardi became extremely political, only on the opposite side of the aisle as Candace.
"Every time you and I get into a Twitter exchange you keep bringing up this tweet so let reiterate: I still think you have potential. You are entertaining & funny— but you are not being that anymore," Candace responded to the resurfaced tweet. "You have transformed into a stain on culture and what it means to be a woman."

View StoryAs remarkable as it may be to believe, the argument escalated even further from there, with Cardi bringing up a very personal alleged tweet about marital infidelity that Candace immediately accused Cardi and her team of photoshopping.
As Cardi stood by the tweet, insisting it was real -- which appears to not be true -- Candace quickly went from "literally laughing out loud" to "100 percent suing Cardi for that nonsense" in a few short tweets.
Cardi then responded, saying that she was "going to sue Candy for claiming I photoshopped a tweet that dozens of articles reported about back in November ... First she claim me and my team photoshopped it now it was a fake tweet. Which one is it?"
She then called for everyone to Google the tweet in question. And while it's true that it was reported on back in November, there is no evidence that the tweet was ever actually written by Candace. Instead, it appears to have been a doctored tweet from the beginning.
Cardi then cracked a joke about the two of them making out (sharing footage from her Grammys performance), but Candace was definitely not ready to back down or take a lighter tone.

View StoryThe evening did end, though, with Candace thanking Cardi for helping to get her trending on Twitter, suggesting that it was her upcoming new show that was trending. Cardi was quick to clarify that even Twitter's explanation as to why her name was trending is this feud with Cardi.
But hey, there's no such thing as bad publicity, right?
While the feud has again cooled to a low simmer, this isn't the first time these two outspoken personalities have butted heads, and it likely won't be the last.
