Cardi B Defends Pornography After Candace Owens Calls for Ban: 'Is It That Bad for Y'all?'

Candace Owens thinks porn is bad, but Cardi B disagrees.

After a conservative political commentator took to social media to call for a “pornography ban” earlier this month, Cardi shared her thoughts on the matter — and the rapper doesn’t think X-rated content is “that bad.”

“Ban pornography. It’s a psychological weapon designed to weaken our men,” Owens, 35, wrote in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on May 21.

Former Daily Wire he elaborated further on the personality in subsequent posts, writing that pornography was “created by the most depraved of our human race to psychologically present homosexuality, pedophilia, and incest—religious sacraments to Satanists.”

According to TMZ, Owens’ comments were later posted by an Instagram blog, prompting the “WAP” rapper to chime in on the platform: “Ommmmgg why yall so against porn? Is it that bad for yall?”

“I’m enjoying it, but I don’t know,” Cardi, 31, continued to the outlet. “I guess it’s something like 6 times a year. I personally don’t feel any connection or addiction to it, just a quick one or two…. NOTHING LIKE REAL INTIMACY!”

In a follow-up comment, TMZ reported, the Grammy winner urged people to use pornography as a learning tool, arguing that explicit material “is actually supposed to teach men how to please a woman.”

Owens and Cardi have publicly clashed over a variety of political and social issues in the past, with the former TV host criticizing the rapper’s sexually explicit songs like “WAP,” as well as President Joe Biden’s choice to interview her about the 2020 election.

In a recent interview with VogueCardi talked about the backlash “WAP” received from some groups after its release in 2020. “Maybe because we’re more mainstream now, the song reached more conservative people online,” she told the news outlet.

“I guess it made some soccer moms cry. But I can’t believe the song got so political,” Cardi added. “I’m very used to hearing explicit lyrics from women. Growing up I listened to Trina, Khia, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown. Their lyrics were more explicit than mine!”
