Candace Owens makes some impressive decisions from the meeting Joe Budden for an upcoming defense interview Beyoncé.
Candace Owens has long placed herself at the forefront of black conservatism in America, quite often criticizing the black community in the process. And that hasn't gone unnoticed, with many black people disparaging her for behavior that ultimately appeases the worst white right-wingers and conservatives, such as promoting the fallacy that George Floyd was not killed by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. But as the United States finds itself in another tense election year, Owens seems to be changing her attitude ever so slightly in recent days with two moves â the first being a surprise meeting with media personality and rapper Joe Budden.
Owens shared on her Instagram Stories a photo of her meeting with Budden, which reportedly took place in Nashville, Tennessee. The caption simply read: “It happened.” Budden has previously expressed admiration for Candace Owens, commenting The Joe Budden Podcast that he doubted he would ever call to appear. The author responded on her own podcast last week, saying, “I'll take you up on your offer, publicly.”
News of the interview and photo spread like wildfire online, with many expressing their displeasure at the situation. HOT97 radio host Peter Rosenberg made his position clear in a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing: âSo sick of the idea that bigots, trolls and immoral a-holes have to be debated⊠the exchange of ideas between intelligent of good people is helpful⊠listening to a hateful rant about hate is not worth anyone's time.â
This follows a surprising position Owens took defending superstar singer BeyoncĂ©'s latest single, “Texas Hold 'Em.” by a host of critics who believe it's not really a country song. “Some people say it's not very country,” Owens said of BeyoncĂ©'s new song. âI'm going to stand up for BeyoncĂ© at this point because BeyoncĂ© has always been country. It's more country than Taylor Swift has definitely ever been.” He continued: âBeyoncĂ© is from Houston, Texas. He always had a fuss⊠[Taylor Swift] put on a fake twang. Everyone was fine with that. You can't say Taylor Swift can do it and Beyonce can't.”
