Owens boldly stated that she refuses to believe that older generations want to hear music from artists like Sexyy Redd when the Black community has produced legends such as Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. According to Owens, these newer artists are being pushed onto society, creating a skewed narrative of what Black culture truly represents.
Owens’ comments sparked a heated debate online, with many agreeing with her take on the portrayal of Black women in music and media. Some commenters noted that today’s hip-hop promotes “immorality and the destruction of dignity in Black women,” pointing to reality shows like those on Zeus Network as perpetuating negative stereotypes.
Others highlighted that while Owens often makes valid points about the state of Black culture, her political stance and personal life choices affect how her message is received. “If she was married to a Black man, she would have more credibility,” one user remarked.
The conversation also touched on the importance of parenting, with several commenters emphasizing the role mothers play in teaching their sons to value women who carry themselves with dignity. “Mothers of young men should teach their sons not to date dots,” one person said, adding that today’s hip-hop lacks the substance and respect found in old-school music.
Though Owens’ views often polarize audiences, many agreed with her critique of how Black women are often portrayed in the media. “At the end of the day, Candace speaks facts,” one commenter noted, “and those facts sometimes hurt people’s feelings.” Whether one agrees or disagrees with Owens, her remarks continue to ignite discussions about the direction of hip-hop and the responsibility of artists to uplift the culture—and this showdown with Nick Cannon is no exception. One thing’s for sure: the conversation about hip-hop, culture, and accountability isn’t going away anytime soon.
