Kanye West is no stranger to controversy. Over the years, the rapper has been in and out of tabloids for his erratic behavior and insane comments. He has recently been stealing headlines with his wife, Bianca Censori. But the spotlight was shifted back to an old 2022 interview that was recently released by Cancade Owens.
When the interview made its way online months ago, the rapper grabbed headlines with a provocative comment. This time, his bold statement wasn’t about politics, fashion, or even his own music, but rather, it was aimed at one of the most iconic couples in the entertainment industry, Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Kanye West left Candace Owens speechless
Over the years, Candace Owen has become known for her outspoken views, provocative opinions, and support for Donald Trump. With the activist and Kanye West sharing that in common, they sat down to talk about other rappers in the industry.
In a recently released interview on Candace, the 47-year-old had an interesting take on the power couple, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Although he initially praised his long-time friend, the conversation quickly devolved into something no one had expected, not even Owens.
Jay-Z is the greatest rapper by the inspiration. I just think Beyoncé need to go let him get some p***y. Seriously.
West’s comment came shortly after Owens claimed the 54-year-old had been putting out “stupid stuff” because that was what worked. Ye even ended up leaving the 35-year-old laughing and saying, “Whaaat?”
Although the comment seemed to catch everyone off guard, social media went crazy for it. Some users even commented under the video and wrote, “Like Jay Z hasn’t been doing that their entire marriage anyway boy bye.”
After all, the iconic couple had already been in the spotlight for a cheating scandal just 6 years before the Donda rapper’s comment.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s cheating scandal
For years after Jay-Z and Beyoncé got together, cheating rumors filled every tabloid. However, that’s all they seemed to be for years. That was until the rapper’s infamous elevator fight with the singer’s younger sister, Solange. The scene unfolded at the 2014 Met Gala and left everyone questioning why the situation started in the first place.
In 2016, the answer came when the 54-year-old admitted to cheating on his wife on his album, 4:44. Shortly after that, the rapper sat down with The New York Times and opened up about the whole thing. He claimed that he’d built up walls due to issues from his childhood, which led to his shutting down and even his infidelity.
You shut down all emotions. So, even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect. In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.
The rapper admitted that he had made some bad choices. However, he also revealed the moment that the consequences of his actions truly set in. He stated, “The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.”
The couple could have chosen to split up. But he and Bey chose to work on things through their music. The rapper explained, “We were using our art almost like a therapy session. And we started making music together.”
Nearly a decade has passed since the rapper’s confession, and the couple has seemingly made it through to the other side. It might have been a difficult road for them, but their relationship has continued to stand the test of time.
