Candace Owens Reacts to The Game’s New Track

It seems there’s a new, albeit playful, ‘beef’ brewing in the music world! Right-wing political commentator Candace Owens has responded with humor to rapper The Game naming the 12th track on his new mixtape “Gangsta Grillz: Every Movie Needs A Trailer” as “The Assassination of Candace Owens.”

Owens’ Playful Response to The Game

In a video clip shared by TMZ, Owens addressed the track title with a teasing tone. “Why? Why The Game? Why’s it gotta be song number 13? (It’s number 12) What’s going on, this better not be predictive programming,” she quipped, referencing the song’s placement and hinting at potential future interactions.

The Game himself explained that the song title is intended as a metaphor for assassinating someone’s character, rather than a literal threat. He stated that the track isn’t actually about Owens but rather the concept of destroying a public figure’s reputation. When asked about a potential response from Owens, he acknowledged her intelligence, saying, “I’m not worried about Candace.”

A Form of Flattery?

Despite the provocative title, Owens revealed she wasn’t offended. In fact, she views it as a form of flattery. “Anyways, I think it’s a form of flattery,” she said, drawing parallels to her friendship with Kanye West and the common use of metaphors in hip-hop. She added, “I’m friends with Ye and he makes music and they do use a lot of metaphors so I’m not offended by this.”

However, Owens did express a slight discomfort with the timing, given that her friend, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, experienced a significant public ‘assassination’ of his character this year. “Do I love the timing? Can I get a break for six months, maybe, and not have that title be there? Sure. But I’m totally okay with this. I think it’s kind of cool,” she admitted.

Comparing Mentions in Music

Owens contrasted this mention with a recent diss track from Eminem, “The Death of Slim Shady,” which also targeted her. “It’s not Eminem crying about me for a whole album,” she quipped, suggesting The Game’s approach was less aggressive and more metaphorical.
