Candace Owens has sparked controversy once again with her recent comments about Fulton County District Attorney General Fani Willis. On her podcast, appropriately titled "Ghetto Superstar," Owens criticized Willis' relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade and delved into her own testimony at a special hearing.
Owens, who is known for her opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion, used Willis as her latest example of the harm caused by these policies. She claimed that in order to meet diversity quotas and appear diverse, intelligence and qualifications are being overlooked in hiring processes. In fact, she boldly stated that Willis is now her strongest argument against DEI.
The controversy only grew when Owens suggested that Willis and Wade should be cast members on the reality show Love & Hip-Hop. Critics of Owens were quick to defend Willis, while others saw this as an opportunity to support Owens' stance on DEI. One Twitter user accused Owens of promoting racist rhetoric, while another pointed out the irony of Owens' arguments, given her own success as a product of DEI.
But amidst the chaos, some Black women did not hesitate to speak out against Willis, stating that her testimony was "cringe and embarrassing." Others criticized Owens for using harmful stereotypes and trying to assimilate to white norms. Owens' support of these accusations only furthered the divide, as she shared a video of a MAGA supporter accusing Willis of being a corrupt prosecutor.
This is not the first time Owens has downplayed Black women while uplifting Black men. In fact, just weeks before her comments on Willis, she praised rapper Ye's new album while degrading Grammy-nominated artist Ice Spice's song. It seems that Owens' actions continue to spark controversy, but she remains undeterred in her beliefs.
