Candace Owens (born 1989) is a conservative producer, political commentator, intellectual,[1] and founder of the Blexit movement. She is especially well known for leaving the anti-Trump Democrat plantation to join the conservative movement against Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the Left. On PragerU, she runs The Candace Owens Show, a series of intellectual debates between other intellectuals and herself. Subsequently, the lamestream media quickly labeled her as a "white supremacist" in many failed smear attacks due to her open opposition to liberal bigotry.[2]

Repudiation by Kanye West

In October 2018, Owens claimed Kanye West had helped design a clothing range to promote Blexit: “I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West.”[3][4] West promptly denied any direct involvement and distanced himself from the movement: "I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it." [5] In a blog post, Owens acknowledged West was "completely right to feel used" and apologized for "any undue stress or pain the effort to correct [this] rumor has caused him, his business relationships, or his family. He simply never designed them."[6]
