'She'll run him to the ground': Kanye West's friends say Candace Owens is acting like his 'chief advisor'
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Kanye West and Candace Owens have been courting controversy ever since they decided to wear their 'White Lives Matter' sweatshirts that sparked massive outrage. The two had reportedly been planning it for weeks as Kanye's former friends said how Owens was acting as his "chief advisor."
According to TMZ, Owens has been reaching out to people on Kanye's behest, looking after setting up calls for meetings and appearances. The recent attacks by Kanye has made many of his friends distance themselves from the rapper. People close to him said that they believed he was not in a "good space mentally."

As per the outlet, it was unclear if the 33-year-old was getting paid by Kanye. However, a source said, "Anyone taking money from him is taking advantage of him. She's gonna run him into the ground."
Amid the ongoing controversy, Owens addressed her and Kanye's ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt controversy and even invited singer Lizzo to her address. Owens claimed on her 'Daily Wire' podcast that Black Americans should care more about abortion, ‘black-on-black’ crime, education standards and obesity. She also defended her and Kanye's choice of clothing during Paris Fashion Week.
Owens said, “You know what we should’ve done, we should’ve put a ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt on Lizzo. Maybe we could have gotten a lot of attention about obesity and how it’s actually killing Black Americans.”
She went on to say, “There is a deep irony and a sad irony when you consider that wearing a t-shirt has led such a tremor throughout the world. A t-shirt that says ‘White Lives Matter,’ which should be implied, right? White lives matter, black lives matter, Asian lives matter — it should be implied, yet people are angry and they are being vicious online because they can’t believe that we have the audacity to detract from the movement which is a lie: ‘Black Lives Matter.’”
Meanwhile, Kanye was locked out of his Twitter handle a day after being restricted on Instagram for vile antisemitic posts. According to the NY Post, Kanye tweeted, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” Elon Musk welcomed the rapper back on the platform just before he was locked out. The tweet which was seen on his official Twitter handle for a couple of hours was then immediately taken down.
