Candace Owens Lies About Kanye West Designing The Blexit Logo

October 31, 2018. Leave a Comment

Kanye West made an about face on Twitter yesterday with a series of tweets clarifying some of his political views and ending with a statement that he concluded he was being used and planned to focus entirely on his creative efforts going forward.

With the tweets, he rebuked right-wing activist Candace Owens’ claim that he had partnered with her to create a logo for Blexit, an initiative founded by a conservative group called Turning Point to push black people to leave the Democratic party. West wrote, “I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.”

In a blog post today (October 31, 2018), Owens claimed, “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.”

The statement that she never claimed West designed the t-shirt is a lie. On her own Twitter feed in what she described as a “state of the union” address, she states, “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’ Blexit efforts are funded by Turning Point, a right wing organization founded by Charlie Kirk, who receives millions of dollars in funding from ultra-conservative groups.

See West’s tweet related to the Blexit logo below.

Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Br Noah founder and J Crew men's creative director Brendon Babenzien has a certified hit on his hands. Part of his debut collection with the retailer, the men's "giant fit" chino priced at 89.50 is 100% sold out! Relecting the popularity of the silhouette, the women's wide-leg pleated cargo is also sold out. 

With wider fits and chino swinging back into popularity, we can't help but wonder what sneakers and shoes will be coming along for the ride. Any nominations?

What was your favorite storyline?
The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.
