Candace Owens is speaking out after she and Kanye West were slammed for wearing a “white lives matter” shirt.
While speaking on her Daily Wire podcast, she stood by her and West’s decision to take photos in the shirt during Paris fashion week. On her podcast she stated black Americans should care more about abortion, “black-on-black” crime, education standards, and obesity, which is when she also dragged Lizzo into her rant.

“You know what we should’ve done, we should’ve put a ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt on Lizzo,” Owens said. “Maybe we could have gotten a lot of attention about obesity and how it’s actually killing black Americans.”
“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,” Owens said. “A t-shirt that says ‘White Lives Matters,’ 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.”
As we previously reported, folks slammed Kanye West on internet after seeing him rock his White Lives Matter shirt. Podcast Host Jamele Hill also weighed in on Kanye West’s latest antic and shared, “So many folks are trying to excuse Kanye wearing a white lives matter t-shirt as just a troll move or marketing. Maybe it is. But it’s a dangerously dumb message to send for someone with his massive platform. I been off dude. But y’all go ahead labeling his foolishness as genius.”

Van Lathen, took the time to make a comment about Kanye West saying, “We don’t need ta reminder about the worth of white lives. America is a shrine to the worth of white people. This message is reactionary to the message affirming the worth of black lives, which have never been worth anything in America. In its intent, it’s a white supremacist notion, because it posit that we can’t have a conversation about the worth of white people, which is f*cking insane. The notion that it ALWAYS has to be about white people in America is incredibly frustrating, emotionally draining, and the whole problem, but here’s Kanye apparently centering that notion.”
Ye seemingly responded to the backlash Tuesday morning and shared to his Insta story saying, “Everyone knows that black lives matter was a scam now it’s over your welcome.”
