During an interview on The George Janko Show on March 2, Candace Owens explained why she lost respect for Jay-Z and gained for Kanye West. In the interview, Candace said:
"There's a lot in Jay-Z's music that I am so grateful for because he made it clear on how to move in a business firm, I would say. So many of his lyrics talking about you know, this is how I think about it when they want me to do their show. Like how are they benefitting off of me, my brain, he's thinking like a boss, but then he gets up on stage and him and his wife tell people to vote for Hilary Clinton."
She added:
"I know Jay-Z is smart enough to know that's wrong, I know he's smart enough for those as I listen to the DNA of his music, so if you got out, why don't you tell other people how to get out, and that's when I lost respect for Jay-Z and it is what made me gain more respect for Kanye because he is willing to say stuff that makes him unfavorable in Hollywood or I think Jay-Z really cares about what Hollywood thinks about him."
While reacting to Candace's comment on Jay-Z and Kanye West, netizens dished out their opinions under Hollywood Unlocked's Instagram post.
