In a bombshell interview that's sending shockwaves through political circles, conservative firebrand Candace Owens has broken her silence about the dramatic events that led to her departure from Daily Wire and her fractured relationship with former collaborator Kanye West.
The Trump Encounter That Changed Everything
Owens revealed to Australian audiences that former President Donald Trump personally reached out to her following her exit from the conservative media outlet. "He told me, 'Candace, I always knew you were too independent for them,'" she shared, describing the conversation as both surprising and validating.
The political commentator didn't hold back about her reasons for leaving Daily Wire, suggesting that the platform had become "increasingly restrictive" of her unique perspectives. "There are certain lines you cannot cross in conservative media, and I found myself crossing them too frequently," Owens explained.
The Kanye West Fallout: What Really Happened
Perhaps most revealing were Owens' comments about her severed ties with rap mogul Kanye West. The partnership, once seemingly unbreakable, dissolved amid controversy and public scrutiny.
"People saw the public disagreements, but they didn't see the fundamental philosophical divide that developed," Owens stated, carefully choosing her words. "When you work with someone that brilliant and unpredictable, there comes a point where you have to decide whether you're helping or enabling."
She hinted at concerns about West's mental health and the challenges of navigating his increasingly controversial public statements, though she stopped short of direct criticism.
A New Political Direction
The interview revealed an evolved Owens - one who claims to have moved beyond traditional partisan politics. "I'm not interested in being a Republican mouthpiece anymore," she declared. "The truth doesn't have a party affiliation, and I intend to speak it regardless of who it offends."
Her Australian tour appears to be part of this new chapter, reaching international audiences with her unapologetic messaging about free speech, personal responsibility, and what she describes as "the corruption of modern institutions."
Political analysts are watching closely to see where Owens lands next, with speculation mounting about potential independent media ventures or even political ambitions of her own.
