Conservative commentator Candace Owens says there is no “bad blood” between herself and rapper Kanye West after the two had a public falling out earlier this year.
Owens, the communications director for Turning Point USA, said in a recent interview the two have since made up after West rejected her “Blexit” movement.
“There’s no bad blood between me and Kanye,” Owens told Business Insider.
Owens coined the Blexit term earlier this year referring to black voters leaving the Democratic Party.
In April, West wrote on Twitter, “I love the way Candace Owens thinks.” He also said he was toying around with the idea of partnering with her as a Blexit leader.
In October, Owens told Page Six West had designed shirts for the Blexit campaign. West said that was not the case and said he was leaving politics.
Owens said she had not named West as the designer and apologized for how her miscommunication affected him.

In the Business Insider interview, Owens said she told West she would not speak publicly about it anymore, but then criticized him for his response.
“You’re not allowed to put one foot into politics,” Owens said. “If you’re going to be into politics you have to fully embrace this is going to be every layer of your life. I think for him he took it as far as he possibly could before it started maybe perhaps affecting other areas of his life.”
“I think he did more for the conservative movement and for black causes than any person that’s come out of Hollywood has ever done,” Owens said.
West met with President Trump in the Oval Office this fall, but has not spoken about Trump or politics since his falling out with Owens.
