The Game explains ‘The Assassination of Candace Owens’ song title
The Game recently revealed he has a song called ‘The Assassination of Candace Owens’ on his upcoming project. Now, the Compton rapper has explained the meaning behind the title.
The track is set to appear on his new Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Every Movie Needs a Trailer, scheduled for release on December 5th.
Speaking to TMZ, Game revealed that the song isn’t a threat to the controversial commentator, but rather the image she has of herself.
“Recently I’ve been seeing conspiracy theories about Candace Owens from herself, you know, self-admitted,” he said. “She feels like people are conspiring [against] her. So what it was is more so an assassination of the character.”
Despite the name, he claims the track actually has nothing to do with Owens. “I just used that because it’s current news, but the song is not about Candace,” he said. “I’m a rapper, we use metaphors, you know?”
When asked if he was concerned about her responding, he said, “Nah, I’m not worried about Candace. But then again, you gotta hear the song … She real smart, [a] really intelligent woman. But if she comes for me, you know, it is what it is.”
Owens, a far-wing political figure, has been associated with rappers in the past, once going out of her way to defend Kanye West.
“I will always love Ye,” she said on The Jason Lee Show. “I will always defend him because I think he did one of the bravest things in speaking about what happened to him, and the questions were never answered about what Harley Pasternak did to him that night.”
Every Movie Needs a Trailer is produced by DJ Drama and Mike & Keys, and will serve as the follow-up to The Documentary 3, which is set to arrive in early 2026.
