Candace Owens Claims Kanye Said to Share ‘Threatening’ Messages He Received ‘If Anything Happens’

Candace Owens purports that the artist formerly known as Kanye West sent her “messages of people who were threatening him,” further claiming that he wants these alleged messages to be made public “if anything happens.”

For those unfamiliar, Owens is perhaps best described, as seen in this recent piece from the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch, as a “far-right conspiracy propagandist.” In recent years, she and Ye have become close, as seen in the final trailer of this year’s In Whose Name? documentary.

“I have no doubt that the same people that were torturing Kanye, the same people that were torturing Charlie Kirk, [if] Kanye died today, would be the first to eulogize him,” Owens said in a recent video. “I feel that. I do. I feel that. I think it’s important to share that information as Kanye sent me all the messages of people who were threatening him—I have ‘em all—to information-share.”

Owens went on to suggest that Ye had told her to “send a package and say if anything happens to me, and it looks suspicious, release it all.”

It was not immediately clear at the time of this writing why, exactly, these remarks were being given headline attention — but I digress.

The aforementioned In Whose Name?, as we told you last month, is both an uncomfortable and illuminating document of six years in Ye’s life as seen through the lens of director Nico Ballesteros. The film has received significant media attention thanks to various clips making the rounds on social media, including one showing a particularly tense moment with Kris Jenner and another capturing a backstage confrontation from Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che.
