Candace Owens vows she'll follow through on Cardi B lawsuit: 'Not an idle threat'

Candace Owens, the conservative writer and commentator, said Thursday night that she intends to sue singer Cardi B, accusing the rapper of trying to "slander" her family members. 

"We are suing Cardi B," Owens continued. "You will be able to watch this play out in the courtroom. It is unacceptable that any person would use doctored tweets to try and libel and slander my family members, my private family members, and think that I’m going to take that sitting down." Representatives for Cardi B did not immediately respond to after-hours emails from Fox News seeking comment, and Owens did not indicate when the suit would be filed. Ingraham’s show pointed to an article published Thursday by the Daily Wire that said the rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, deleted tweets that contained allegedly doctored tweets about Owens' brother.
