Candace Owens Lashes Out At 'Irrelevant' Eminem After He Disses Her On His New Album

In a move that's delighted her far-right followers, conservative pundit Candace Owens lashed out at rapper Eminem on her YouTube channel after he slammed her on two diss tracks from his The Death of Slim Shady album.

In the song "Lucifer," Eminem raps about Owens, in part:

“I ain't gon' throw the fact b***h forgot she was Black back at her, laugh at her like them crackers she's backin' after her back is turned.”

Elsewhere in the song, the rapper describes Owens as “this MAGA dirtbag in a skirt” and suggests several new nicknames for her, including "Grand Wizard," "Klandace," and "Grand Dragon."

And on "Bad One," he goes further:

"This thousand bucks in my hand is just like what Candace did When she turned her back on her own race 'cause I have abandoned it."

Not long afterward, right-wing supporters began sharing Owens' response to Eminem that she released on her YouTube channel. She suggested the rapper, who has an Oscar, an Emmy, and 15 Grammys to his name, is a has-been and attacked his sexuality.

She said:

"First thing I want to say is that Eminem is obviously a gay man. It's very sad that Eminem cleaned out his closet but never came out of his closet."

After reading Eminem's lyrics on air, she called him a "struggling internally gay man," adding:

"I want you to feel sad for Eminem because this is not the way for someone's career to go down the drain and I want us all to do our part to make Eminem relevant again at the very least and he can be relevant just by me speaking about him. ... This would have meant something if he was at his prime." ...

"His career should have ended 15 years ago and he keeps going so this is not a rapper that's at the top. He's going through a strategy that a lot of new rappers do where they find out who is the big rapper and they start a beef. He is coming out of the American mindset entirely and this is what he's come up with."

Owens went on to criticize Eminem's "pander," accusing him of racism against white people:

"Again, he doesn't even know who his audience is. He maybe could have done something in 2016 when the whole world so was so anti-Trump, then the George Floyd moment. He doesn't even understand what's happening. That whole conversation has broken in the Black community." ...

"You're so irrelevant. Your music isn't good anymore. You're the one actually cosplaying a race you aren't. You're desperate for Black Americans to pick up your tracks because you abandoned an audience of a lot of people who are listening to your music." ...

"What's actually happened to Eminem is he's now an out of touch elitist. He's a lefty elitist. He belongs on a campaign trail with Hillary Clinton when she runs for the third or fourth time. He's pretending to know what's going on and the reality is a lot of those people in the country who he doesn't like have a lot more in common with the people he's trying to appeal to."

Owens concluded that Eminem offers a "lesson" so people can know "when it's time to retire," adding:

"Eminem is 51 years old. He has not modified his brand at all. He's not grown-up. Most people do know you have to evolve your brand. ... Eminem is not evolving. He still thinks he's a 13-year-old boy who is rapping in his room and that somehow people are going to find that appealing." ...

"His daughter has gotten married which means Eminem should behave a bit more like granddad. This Granddad Shady. I'm going to need Granddad to act like Granddad and not produce this trash to pander to the Black community."

Owens was slammed for her remarks.

Owens also took another jab at Eminem's sexuality, saying in a social media post that "the rap game is filled with closeted homosexuals who are blackmailed into towing the establishment line," a reference to the rapper's criticism of those who didn't wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eminem has not responded to Owens' attacks.
