Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West and Candace Owens have doubled up and responded to the world. The overnight social media pals have responded to the backlash and mixed emotions shot their way after publicly admiring each other’s work this past weekend.
Yeezy took to Twitter and relied on a slew of videos to possibly explain his support for the conservative news personality.

Owens went more direct with her response by singling out New York radio station Hot 97.
Heard @HOT97 was talking about me. Only good things I’m sure from a station who welcomed Hillary Clinton “with pleasure”. She and her husband locked up more black men then any president in the history of the United States. If she’s a pleasure, Candace Owens must be a delight!

The year of the Black victim is ending. If you have a vested interest in blacks jumping on top of cars, burning down our own neighborhoods, crying over the national anthem, boycotting H&M over monkey hoodies & screaming over hairdo appropriation—it may be time to short the stock.

Early Monday, Hot 97’s Ebro Darden revealed a personal convo he had with Yeezy over the weekend following his Owens co-sign.
“Then he went on to talk about demonization. He feels like he’s been demonized and how as a society we demonize individuals who are trying to speak out and challenge original thoughts. We demonize them for trying to think different when really they’re just trying to continue to make progress. So I think we’re going to hear a lot more about that specific thing,” Ebro said reflecting on his Kanye convo. “And multiple times through the conversation he said ‘I just want to lead with love. I just want to be about love.’ I said you’re a liar because the people you’re aligning yourself with aren’t leading with love. Then he said ‘I do love Donald Trump.’ Kanye West. ‘I love Donald Trump.’ So the challenge that we’re going to take calls from the people right now, Rosenberg said do y’all even care or do you just want the music?” (Hot 97)
Over the weekend, Kanye shocked the Internet with his unexpected support for conservative and President Donald Trump supporter Candace Owens.
I love the way Candace Owens thinks

I don't subscribe the term and concept of God fearing. That's a dated mentality that was used to control people. We are in the future. If God is love and love it's the opposite of fear then…🤔🤷♂️ to fear God makes no sense 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

be fearless. Express what you feel not what you've been programmed to think.
