Politically conventional analyst and President Trump fan Candace Owens is familiar with conflict, regularly making headings not just for her political viewpoints, yet likewise for her individual ideas.
In current background, however, she’s especially amassed interest by selecting battles with celeb artists, frequently coming under attack online for her sights on sex identification, body picture, the LGBTQ area and even more. Whether it has to do with a male artist bold to put on an outfit on the cover of a publication, the Black Lives Matter activity or what she viewed as “pandering” to Black American citizens in the 2020 governmental political election, Owens has actually been placed in the spot by several of the globe’s most popular musicians a number of times over, with her challengers varying from Cardi B toEminem No issue what individuals think about her, it do without claiming that the speaker remains loud and pleased in her dedication to her sometimes polarizing viewpoints, regardless of just how much conflict they mix. She’s constantly happy to bang a person when she believes they deserve it, artists consisted of– yet points obtain additional fascinating when those very same individuals bark back, sometimes beginning full-on web battles in between a musician’s fanbase and Owens’ committed visitors.
Though her forthright nature and dedication to mixing the pot show that one more fight of wits is constantly coming up, Billboard has actually damaged down Owens’ greatest fights with artists of every ages, styles and histories until now. See a listing of all the greatest celebrities whose plumes she’s shaken up– or attempted to, at the very least– listed below.
-
Lizzo
Owens blown up Lizzo for publishing an almost naked picture of herself on social media sites, writing, “If you peep comments on any of Lizzo’s ‘fat acceptance’ photos, you will undoubtedly find a score of batsh– insane women telling her that she looks beautiful. Men do not lie to other men in this way. They do not pretend that clinical obesity is beauty.”
Lizzo hasn’t straight reacted to Owens, yet she introduced her collaboration with the Dove Self-Esteem Project to deal with the influence of hazardous appeal criteria on social media sites. “I DONT NEED SOCIAL MEDIA…SOCIAL MEDIA NEEDS ME,” she shared on Twitter and Instagram hours after Owens’ comments.

JoJo Siwa
The analyst shared an almost six-minute video on Twitter in April 2023 recommending that Siwa is acting to be gay for interest. “I don’t believe JoJo Siwa is a lesbian, by the way. I want to state that very clearly. I do believe that she’s desperate for attention,” Owens claims in the clip, extracted from her Daily Wire podcast.
Siwa captured wind of Owens’ video clip, and the previous Nickelodon celebrity tweeted 2 days later on, “I haven’t watched the video yet…. But if it has anything to do with your caption, respectfully back the f— off.”
I have not seen the video clip yet … But if it has anything to do with your subtitle, pleasantly back the fuck off. https://t.co/a2SeX2jomk

Kanye West
Owens attributed the Yeezy magnate for creating “Blexit” merch– a portmanteau for “Black” and “exit” that simulates Britain’s departure from the European Union– for her activity she introduced in late 2018 that urges Black citizens to leave the Democratic celebration and register as Republicans.
“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,” Owens informed Page Six at Turning Point United States’s Young Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. onOct 27, 2018 (Owens was Turning Point United States interactions supervisor at the time of the occasion).
But Ye clarified on Twitter a couple of days later on when he rejected helming the styles. “I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine,” he composed. “I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.”
West later on composed the problem subjected him to the risks of incorrectly spreading out concepts he does not directly straighten himself with and introduced, “I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!” But that undoubtedly really did not indicate completion of West’s political shenanigans as he remained to press onward with his 2020 governmental project under his independent “Birthday Party.”
On Halloween (Oct 31), Owens penciled an apologetic blog post labelled after the rap artist’s 4th workshop cd 808s & &Heartbreak for incorrectly connecting him to her Blexit activity, specifically taking into consideration just how much he implies to her as a “superhero” and as a “friend.”
“Listening to music from Kanye West and Jay-Z is what I give credit to having kept my spirit alive on some of the very worst days. It’s a crazy thing to know that you wake up one day and someone whose words and lyrics literally kept your spirit alive is suddenly your friend. God is good. There are so many people in this world who love Kanye West because they know he is great and powerful and cool, but not every person in this world knows what it means to have someone’s rap lyrics literally save you,” she started composing. “…If I had to imagine what it would feel like to have a bullet pierce my heart, it would be exactly like the moment I learned Kanye told the world he felt I had used him. I wouldn’t wish the way I felt last night upon my worst enemy.”
She proceeded: “I never once said that Kanye designed the t-shirts for BLEXIT. 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.”
Since after that, Owens and Ye have actually covered points up, with Owens sustaining the rap artist by attending his questionable Paris Fashion Week receive 2022, and Ye returning the support by strolling the red carpeting best of her movie, Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM

Lance Bass
The previous * NSYNC participant called Owens a “fraud” in a June 8-dated Facebook blog post, which guided his fans to a Business Insider article regarding GoFundMe suspending her account “after she raised more than $200,000 for Parkside Cafe Birmingham, Ala., whose co-owner called George Floyd a ‘thug.’” In the very same week, Owens had actually posted a video on Periscope where she defined Floyd as “neither a martyr or a hero” while reviewing his rap sheet.
“Anyone that uses this a–hole to justify ANYTHING is well, an a–hole,” Bass composed onFacebook “This woman knows what she is saying is wrong. She does it to get PAID! Just like that Milo Yiannopolous fraud. #CandaceOwens is a fraud.”
And the conventional analyst tweeted a popular diss to the previous child band celebrity. “Apparently, @LanceBass —known to most of us as Justin Timberlake’s fourth back-up singer from decades past—has been going off about me on Facebook bc he thinks any Black person that won’t support BLM ain’t Black,” Candace composed the very same day as his blog post. “Lance, you peaked in high school. Nobody cares what you think.”
But he fired right back in a since-deleted tweet that checked out, “And btw, never once did I say a Black person isn’t really Black for not supporting #BLM. Again more lies coming from your end per usual. I simply stated that YOU promote racist ideologies that overtly diminish the Black community to appeal to a white ignorant base. Clear now?”
But the * NSYNC-related returns maintained coming. “Maybe when JT wins another lifetime achievement award, he’ll invite you sing back up again,” she responded to have latest thing. “Until then— why don’t shut up. My grandfather didn’t live through segregation so that one day a white boy could to tell me how to behave like a good little black girl.”
Maybe when JT wins one more life time accomplishment honor, he’ll welcome you sing back up once more.
Until after that– why do not stopped talking. My grandpa really did not endure partition to ensure that someday a white child might to inform me just how to act like an excellent little black lady. @LanceBass

T.I.
The 39-year-old rap artist slammed Owens on Nick Cannon‘s Power 106 radio show on June 10 while arguing differing opinions should be more accepted within the Black community rather than to quickly pivot toward canceling them. “We don’ t all have the very same sights. We do not all have the very same viewpoints of just how to progress on what’s gon na obtain us to our objective. But most of us have the very same battle. We’re all on the very same trip,” Tip stated of the risks of terminate society.
But T.I. recommended Owens provided herself as one of the “severe cases” or exemptions to the regulation. “Like Candace Owens, she got to go. She can’t come. She can’t come!” he shouted around the 17:20 minute-mark. “I think she a paid plant. I think somebody paid her to come out here and speak against everything that the majority of us is standing for…. She has turned in her Black card and crossed over.”
Last year throughout the “Black Agenda, Voting, & Donald Trump” panel at the 2019 REBELLION television top, he freely questioned Owens regarding her assistance for President Trump and his “Make America Great Again” motto. “That was Ronald Reagan’s slogan. Was it racist when Ronald Reagan had it?” Owens asked the group, which responded “Yes.”
“I have a question,” T.I. asked her around the 37:30 minute-mark. “When you say ‘Make America Great Again,’ which period are we talking about? The period when women couldn’t vote, the period when we were hanging from trees, or the crack era? Which period in America are you trying to make America like again?”

N.O.R.E.
The Drink Champs co-founder/host uploaded video clip bits of Owens questioning trans problems with Temple University Professor Marc Lamont Hill on a June 28-dated episode of The Candace Owens Show with different essential subtitles. “She is the worse thing to happen to black people ever were u at sis can u say mark hates black people no u can’t say sh– confusion is ya message,” he tweeted a day later on. “This is the most dangerous person in America she trying to kill us now not sh– from 30 years ago now she wants us dead ya kids and parents.”
When Hill safeguarded himself for testing Owens on “the things that make her problematic,” N.O.R.E. said why she needs to be recognized on a system to begin with.

Charlamagne Tha God
After ViacomCBS discharged Cannon in July for the anti-Semitic remarks and conspiracy theory concepts he reviewed on his Cannon’s Class podcast, The Breakfast Club co-host commented on the conflict on the July 15-dated “Rumor Report” withAngela Yee “Listen, Nick is my guy, I hate it had to be him, but that’s what you can do when you have the power,” he stated. “And if it’s one thing Jewish people have showed us is they have the power. I can’t wait until the day Black people are able to fire people for saying things about us that we deem racist.”
The political number composed on Twitter that very same day that although she valued Charlamagne, she assumed “his comment that Nick Cannon’s firing proves ‘Jews have the power’ is off base. Did the hundreds of white people who have been fired over these past few months for disagreeing with the radical goals of black lives matter prove that we have the power?”
She proceeded in her Twitter string: “Thousands of blacks promoted to comply with BLM. Thousands of whites fired for disagreeing, and everyone pretended it was cool. ONE black man gets fired and now it’s ‘the Jews have power’? Nope.”
Thousands of blacks advertised to abide by BLM. Thousands of whites discharged for differing, and every person acted it was great.
ONE black male obtains discharged and currently it’s “the Jews have power”?
Nope

Cardi B
Cardi and Owens introduced right into a political argument of their very own in advance of theNov 3 political election. The Blackout writer took place The Ben Shapiro Show onSept 6 to talk about just how the rap artist’s meeting with Democratic governmental prospect Joe Biden for Elle onAug 17 was “pandering” to Black American citizens by interesting their songs preference.
But Cardi resisted on Twitter and Instagram with insurance claims that as one of the most popular rap artists with a Billboard Hot 100 No 1 “WAP” cooperation with Megan Thee Stallion last month, she can utilize her system to motivate her followers to elect and be politically energetic.

Harry Styles
Styles enhanced the cover of Vogue, coming to be the very first solo male to ever before do so, with a Gucci gown. But Owens had not been living for the historical minute. She shared and condemned Vogue‘s photos from the shoot on Twitter due to the fact that she thinks “the steady feminization of our men” is assaulting Western culture. “There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence,” she composed onNov 14. “It is an outright attack. Bring back manly man.”
The Harries– and Olivia Wilde, that’s guiding the 1950s-set thriller Don’ t Worry, Darling starring Styles– pertained to his protection right away. “You’re pathetic,” Wilde replied under Owens’ tweet.
There is no culture that can make it through without solid males. The East recognizes this. In the west, the stable feminization of our males at the very same time that Marxism is being shown to our youngsters is not a coincidence.
It is a straight-out strike.Bring back macho males. https://t.co/sY4IJF7VkK
