This is not controversy, this is disrespectful and insulting. Candace Owens is as conservative as it gets, I don’t know Kanye personally but I would imagine this is all for publicity. What a sad statement.

This came after his abrupt end of ties with fashion brands like Gap and Adidas. According to the rapper, the authorities met for meetings without his knowledge and hence, did not serve the terms of the contract. However, this is not the first time Ye stirred controversy over crucial matters. In light of such tweets, reports also mentioned his 2018 slavery statement that said the slave system “sounds like a choice” although he later took his words back.
What are your options on such a step taken by Kanye? What would you like to chip into the controversy? We are all ears!
