"My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!"It came as part of a series of tweets referring in part to right-wing commentator Candace Owens. So, basically, Owens is a very vocal supporter of Donald Trump and opponent of the Black Lives Matter movement, and in April, Kanye tweeted "I love the way Candace Owens thinks". Recently, she launched a campaign called 'Blexit', with which she was encouraging African Americans to leave the Democratic Party. Blexit t-shirts were unveiled, which Owens claimed were designed by Yeezy himself. "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 told Page Six. https://twitter.com/NikkiSchwab/status/1056308380543918083?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw But Kanye is denying he had anything to do with the shirts, or the campaign. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1057382888520499201 "I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it." Ye also tweeted that he supports "prison reform" and "common-sense gun laws". https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1057366616432930816 https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1057366623621955586 https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1057366629326053376
