KEY POINTS

  • Twitter said Melania Trump's nude photo does not violate its rules
  • The microblogging site has a non-consensual nudity policy 
  • Twitter users agreed that the picture should not be deleted  

Cardi B posted a nude photo of former first lady Melania Trump, but Twitter found no issues with it.

The "WAP" hitmaker shared Trump's full-frontal naked photo taken years ago for a modeling job amid her heated exchange with conservative commentator Candace Owens on Twitter. A Twitter spokesperson told The Independent that while the company has a non-consensual nudity policy that would suspend an account immediately, images previously published with the person's consent would not be against those rules.

Twitter users are not surprised with the report because they have known that Twitter does not take issue against Trump’s nude photo on the microblogging site. One even said he did the same by sharing it and was not reported.

"They'd better not! I've posted those same pix like 100 times and didn't even get reported. They're readily available all over the internet in case anyone on the planet hasn't seen melania before her 'kidney' procedure, 3 gallons of botox, eye lift, lip fillers, veneers," one wrote.

"She got PAID for them... they weren't some secret photos from her personal computer etc. Is Cardi B the first to post them? I think not," another added.

"Those pictures are all over the internet, not just on Twitter. Maybe Melania should have thought twice before exposing herself," a third user added.

Cardi B's tweets about Trump are no longer available as of press time.

Trump posed nude for a 1996 photoshoot published in a French magazine the following year. Her pictures have resurfaced during the presidential campaign in 2016. Cardi B also previously shared the same photo in 2020 in a now-deleted post.

Trump was dragged into Cardi B and Owens' dispute when the latter described the former's performance of WAP at the Grammys as "weakening of American society" and the "corrosion" and "end of an empire." They had a heated exchange on Twitter for hours with Cardi B responding to Owens using the ex-FLOTUS' nude photo.

"I don't know why candy is so bothered by WAP. I was just inspired by our former First Lady," Cardi B wrote in the caption of her post. "Anyways congrats on your new show I hope you speak more about WAP I need it to reach a new Audience to go 6x platinum. Any exposure will help. Love you candy. STREAM UP."

It isn't the first time Cardi B got into a heated exchange on Twitter over her song "WAP." In August, she clapped back at Republican firebrand DeAnna Lorraine who also dissed her song and compared her to Trump by writing, "America needs far more women like Melania Trump and far less like Cardi."

"Didn’t she used to sell that Wap?" Cardi B replied.

"No, that’s a total & complete lie. What’s not a lie is that you are absolutely destroying America’s youth with your lyrics and should be ashamed of yourself," Lorraine responded.

Lorraine’s Twitter account has been suspended and her tweets are no longer available.
