Ex- conservative commentator and now full blown deranged lunatic Candace Owens is dominating trends on X and sparking heated debates across social media following a viral thread posted yesterday, January 10, where she detailed her "personal struggle" with licensing a brief sample from Kanye West's (Ye's) music for her podcast intro.
In the post, Owens revealed she contacted Ye last year, urging him to re-record his masters à la Taylor Swift to bypass licensing fees from Universal Music Group, which she accused of being "satanic pedophiles" and "industrial Luciferians" intent on destroying his life.
Owens claimed Universal demanded $40,000, later updated to $100,000 annually, for just seven seconds of Ye's voice, equating to about 24 minutes of usage per year, framing it as a form of "modern slavery."
She proposed a legal overhaul, suggesting an addendum to the 13th Amendment to mandate industries release artists' rights post-cancellation or public fallout, arguing entities can't "kill a slave and then force them to still work for you."
