Before Kanye West's Chicago Homecoming Show, Candance Owens saw Kim Kardashian: 'Oh no, oh my'
Candance Owens had an “oh no” lobby moment before Kanye West’s Chicago homecoming show—after spotting a very familiar face across the way.
Picking up her passes in a Chicago hotel lobby before Kanye West’s homecoming show, Candace Owens looked up and spotted Kim Kardashian across the room. Owens said she hadn’t seen Kardashian since before her divorce from West and, given the commentary she’s made about Kim over the years, the surprise sighting felt like a stare-down moment. She half-smiled from a distance and braced for an awkward evening she assumed they might share in the same box at the stadium.
“I’m thinking, oh no, oh my, she’s going to this concert and you know I’ve said some things about Kim,”
Owens said on her podcast that there was no confrontation and later learned Kardashian was in town for daughter North West’s show the following night, not Ye’s concert. She added there were “no hard feelings” and sent love to Kardashian and her family.
Star-packed Soldier Field

Night one drew a sold-out crowd of roughly 70,000, opening with “Homecoming” before a run of hits including “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “Heartless,” “Jesus Walks,” “Flashing Lights,” and “All of the Lights.”
