On September 6, Candace Owens revealed that she will have to skip Kanye West’s upcoming concert in Russia. In her X post, the political commentator said that missing Ye’s October show would be the ‘greatest pain’ of her life, given that her due date was very close.

Candace Owens jokingly said she can come to the show only if Russian President Putin sends a plane for her diplomatic travel. She wrote:

“My greatest pain in life is knowing I will not be able to see Ye perform in Russia this October—just too close to the due date. Unless President Vladimir Putin sends me a plane for diplomatic transportation. A girl can dream.”

As of this writing, the Flashing Lights rapper does not have a final venue for his show after Gazprom Arena said it will not host his concert. The shows will be held on October 10 and 11. Due to his past antisemitic remarks, Ye’s concerts in Russia remain unconfirmed after cancellations seen in various European countries, including the UK, Italy, and France.


Candace Owens recently attended Kanye West’s Chicago homecoming shows

Earlier on September 5, Owens shared pictures of her and her cousin at Kanye’s Chicago homecoming concerts at Soldier Field. On X, she even dubbed the rapper as ‘inspiring.’

“It was a dream of mine to see this show with my cousin. Could not wipe the smile off my face yesterday. There will never be an artist more inspiring than Ye,” Candace wrote.

Candace Owens also called Ye her brother.

“My brother is back on stage. Greatness.”

The rapper’s recent two-night show took place on September 3 and 4 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. She reportedly attended the show on the second day.

Owens disclosed her pregnancy in June of this year. She broke the news on her podcast episode. The former Daily Wire host is preparing to have her fifth child with her husband, George Farmer. She confirmed that they will have a baby boy.


In May, Candace also traveled to Russia to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which was later held from June 3 to 6. She shared pictures and updates of her trip on her social media.
