Politically conservative commentator and President Trump supporter Candace Owens is no stranger to controversy, constantly making headlines not only for her political opinions, but also for her personal thoughts.
In recent history, though, she’s specifically garnered attention by picking fights with celebrity musicians, often coming under fire online for her views on gender identity, body image, the LGBTQ community and more. Whether it’s about a male musician daring to wear a dress on the cover of a magazine, the Black Lives Matter movement or what she saw as “pandering” to Black American voters in the 2020 presidential election, Owens has been put in the hot seat by some of the world’s hottest artists several times over, with her opponents ranging from Cardi B to Eminem. No matter what people think of her, it goes without saying that the presenter stays loud and proud in her commitment to her oftentimes polarizing opinions, no matter how much controversy they stir. She’s always willing to slam someone when she thinks they deserve it, musicians included — but things get extra interesting when those same people bark back, occasionally starting full-on internet wars between an artist’s fanbase and Owens’ devoted viewers.
Though her outspoken nature and commitment to stirring the pot indicate that another battle of wits is always on the horizon, Billboard has broken down Owens’ biggest feuds with musicians of all ages, genres and backgrounds so far. See a list of all the biggest stars whose feathers she’s ruffled — or tried to, at least — below.
