Kanye West is getting hammered on social media for voicing his support for controversial far-right media personality Candace Owens.
In case you have been living under a rock for the past week, let me fill you in. Kanye West is back on Twitter with a bang and not only is he dropping some new music in a matter of weeks, he is also stirring up lots of controversies. This weekend, Yeezy fired off a surprising tweet at one of the most controversial far-right media personalities, Candace Owens. “I love the way Candace Owens thinks,” tweeted.
Candace Owens ecstatically responded telling Kanye West that she would love to meet with him. “I’m freaking out. @kanyewest,” she tweeted. “Please take a meeting with me. I tell every single person that everything that I have been inspired to do, was written in your music. I am my own biggest fan, because you made it okay. I need you to help wake up the black community.
Just who is Candace Owens and why Kanye West has taken such a liking for her? She is a big supporter of President Trump just like Ye. She is also the director of urban engagement at Turning Point USA, a deeply conservative organization. Owens regularly stirs the pot on social by attacking Black Lives Matter and other stakeholders in the black community.
Aside from tweeting at Candace Owens on Twitter, Kanye West also announced that he is dropping a new album on June 1st and also dropping a joint album with Kid Cudi on June 8th.
I love the way Candace Owens thinks

I’m freaking out. @kanyewest ….please take a meeting with me. I tell every single person that everything that I have been inspired to do, was written in your music.
I am my own biggest fan, because you made it okay. I need you to help wake up the black community. https://t.co/Uz1nB9K0Oz— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) April 21, 2018
Kanye West tweets 7 words and leftists rush to smear me as far-right & anti-LGBT. So what terrified them?
The truth did. The left is losing control of their blacks. Ready to be awakened? Watch the truth about my journey off the plantation w/ @RubinReport. https://t.co/YviWe4PQk0 pic.twitter.com/GcN35gBoIa— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) April 21, 2018
Far right? Allow me to clarify: I believe the black community can do it without hand-outs. I believe the Democrats have strapped us to our past to prevent us from our futures. And I won’t stop fighting until all black Americans see that.
I’m not far right—I’m free. pic.twitter.com/wtqCuYPtM2— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) April 21, 2018
So nobody wants to talk about Kanye saying he likes how Candice Owens thinks? ?

This is a dumb endorsement @kanyewest. When it comes to music, you are one of the greats but your political instincts are way off brother.
Aside from all her other ill-informed takes, have you read what @RealCandaceO‘s has said about the black community? https://t.co/rd6Z5fadWh

Kanye West and Candice Owens are just the younger versions of Jason Whitlock and Stacey Dash.
