Candace Owens has apologized to Kanye West in a blog post after Yeezy said he felt used by the conservative commentator to promote her “Blexit” campaign.
On Tuesday (October 30), the G.O.O.D. Music founder denied making the logo for Owens’ crusade to get black voters to leave the Democratic Party. He also declared he’d be distancing himself from politics due to her actions.
In her apology, Owens claimed she never said Kanye designed “Blexit” t-shirts. But, she didn’t clarify her recent comments about him creating the logo.
“I never once said that Kanye designed the t-shirts for BLEXIT,” she wrote. “This is a lie that seems to have made its way around the world; a lie I would like to again correct for the record. Kanye was completely right to feel used in that regard and as I have done personally, I would like to publicly apologize to him for any undue stress or pain the effort to correct that rumor has caused him, his business relationships, or his family. He simply never designed them.”
Owens’ denial of attaching Kanye’s name to the t-shirts skates around her own words in a recent speech, which explicitly said he created the “Blexit” logo and colors. Video of the speech is available on the Twitter account of far-right website Breitbart News. Owens’ remarks about Kanye’s key role in the “Blexit” merch begin just over a minute into the above clip.
The controversial talking head claimed Yeezy designed the logo and colors while speaking at Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit, which took place on October 25-28 in Washington, D.C.
“Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” she said while holding a hat promoting the campaign. “[Kanye] has taken one of the boldest steps in America to open a conversation that we have needed to have.”

Who?
She said she never said those things and people are spreading rumors.
But there’s a video of her lying and using Kanyes name. LOL
Stupid lady.
She appologized saying she never said he designed the shirts. Which she didnt.
What she did say was Kanye west designed the Blexit Logo and Colour. which kanye is now denying.
She siad he didnt design the “Shirts” but she clearly says in the Video he designed the “Logo and the colours”
So someones Lyin’
This is Kanyes out where he gets to play victim and rejoin the culture. I know his team is going to run hard with this one.
Lol
OPPORTUNIST
So the dude decides to back pedal on his views and it just so happens that this little 180 turn came right off the back of his damn shoes floppin. Yeah okay.
this bitch can’t be trusted, bitchiz can’t be trusted. But did Kanye accept that apology??????
you are lame as hell
Sooo provide the benefits of voting Republican and validate they dont want the same thing as the Dems you speak of…..
It’s the whole political system and all of these people who run it. Ain’t no such thing as a Democrat and Republican. They’re the same fuckin people. That shit is game to keep people confused. Ain’t none of them shit.
@ nate 400 If you think EITHER party wants Black independence and autonomy then I have a bridge that connects Oakland to San Francisco to sell you for the low bruh (it’s really nice btw). The problem is systemic. Both parties are a white canvas. One has a little color speckled, but it’s white nonetheless. I don’t fuck with pandering but I for sure don’t fuck with intolerance.
My guy you’re on the money, I’m not saying Republicans are answer because they’re not. It’s not a question of blue or red. It’s about individual policies. We as a people need to define our values and wants then put money behind them and donate to running candidates. Lobbying is ugly but it’s the only option. It’s easy to bash Trump but he’s a mirror reflecting the true America. Racist and intolerant where popular media has been abducted by a minority pushing quirky agendas. Barack fought for little boys to use little girl bathrooms sugar coat that all you want but it comes down to unifying and letting our money talk for us. The LGBT community lobbies, and we’re seeing progress for them. The Arab Muslims and Asians are also fighting for their own agendas.
Black women all together are just money hungry. Go get your natural, black girls rock a$$ out of here. Black women can’t even get along with each other. They kill me talking we strong and educated. Please. Stay in your place and work on that attitude.
Who hurt you? lmao
Bruh proof read your statement. You must be saving these hoes out here. You clapping back on me like this. You probably some down south mommas boy.

Soo knaye introuduce to the dude who designed the logo and it still that ugly all 3 need to go a real art school and learn some basic graphic design. I need 10 years olds make better logos
This is what Republicants do! You hear Trump everyday lying to the American people, it’s sad that his base is so gullible, he’s doesn’t do shit for the poor ones who show up at his rallies, them people would die for Trump!!!
I feel so bad for him.
I think all this was for the roll out of that album that was supposed to come put in September. Kanye didn’t plan to play this role for this long and is in to deep.
