Candace Owens says she’ll soon be ‘in court with Cardi B ‘debating defamation’ after star shared tweet about husband
CANDACE Owens is insisting that she’ll soon be battling Cardi B in court for “defaming her” after the rapper shared a fake tweet about her husband.
Their ongoing Twitter war exploded yesterday when the conservative pundit criticized Cardi’s Grammys performance with Megan Thee Stallion, prompting a barrage of insults.

When the singer shared a doctored Candace tweet falsely claiming that her husband cheated with her brother and insisted it “wasn’t photoshopped,” Candace vowed to get lawyers involved.
Their spat continued all day, with Cardi taunting Candace with a video of her kissing another woman.
“Tempting,” Candace retorted. “But I’m thinking me and you in a courtroom debating defamation law is what’s around the corner.”
Yesterday, when a follower suggested Candace sue Cardi, she replied: “Yes. 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. I’ll keep you all posted.”
Their Twitter war escalated when Cardi shared a clip of Candace telling Tucker Carlson that the rapper and Megan’s WAP performance signified “corrosion” and “end of an empire.”
After a series of more insults, Cardi then shared screenshots of a tweet apparently from Candace, which read: “Yes, my husband did cheat on me with my brother. Yes, he said no when I asked to join them.”
“I am literally laughing out loud. Cardi. My dear,” Candace replied. “That is clearly a photoshopped tweet.”
“Only one of us has a husband that sleeps around,” she added in a thinly-veiled dig at Cardi’s husband who allegedly cheated on her.
“This wasn’t photoshopped you was trending the whole day when you tweeted this and it was published on a lot of blog outlets,” Cardi insisted.
“Your [sic] right mine sleeps around yours sleeps at yours sleep at your home with your brother C*** BOXING while you tweet me.”
This was the point when their exchange took a legal turn.
In a series of tweets, Candace wrote: “What the actual hell are you talking about? Are you dead serious right now trying to substantiate a photoshopped tweet?
“Asking one more time before I get the lawyers to make you publicly admit you’re lying and embarrass yourself.

“FYI I DO have a brother, a private citizen, who you are slandering right now with this photoshopped image that you are now publicly claiming you saw tweeted in real life. Y
“You want to admit you lied now, or get sued so I can expose you as a liar? I win either way.”
Cardi said that Candace was “mad at me for WHAT YOU TWEETED AND is published on public blogs. I ain’t made it up honey Google it yourself” – but the Fox News contributor was not backing down.
She replied: “This looks like a random blog that seems to have been dumb enough to have fallen for a photoshopped tweet.
“You tweeted that the photoshopped tweet was real and you saw it on a day that I was trending—which is a lie. You made that part up to help circulate a slanderous lie.”
“I’m going to sue candy for claiming I photoshopped a tweet that dozens of articles reported about back in November 2016,” Cardi shot back when Candace said her team “worked overtime to photoshop tweets.”
“First she claim me and my team photoshopped it now it was a fake tweet.Which one is it .Everyone is free to Google,” Cardi added.

When one Twitter user outlined how Cardi “used a badly photoshopped tweet” Candace said “bingo”: “Rather than own that she fell for it— she doubled down,” she added.
Candace said last night that her show Candace on the Daily Wire which airs on Friday was the Number 1 trending topic in the United States following their spat.
She is currently taking questions ahead of the show’s debut and told one fan she would be happy to adopt her.
