Candace Owens, a conservative podcaster, has sparked controversy by claiming that Kanye West was involved in the meeting between Charlie and Erika Kirk.
The claim comes after Owens made a series of bizarre statements about the couple, including alleging that Erika had an affair and that she was linked to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Erika Kirk had previously revealed that she and Charlie met in 2018 for a job interview, which turned into a romantic relationship.
Owens' claims are based on a 2018 meeting between Charlie Kirk, Kanye West, and Owens, which was featured in West's 2025 documentary In Whose Name?
The documentary showed West and Owens discussing their experiences as Black public figures, while Kirk remained silent.
Owens' latest claims have been met with skepticism, with many questioning the validity of her conspiracy theories.
