“There will be no show today, or at all this week,” Owens wrote on her X account on Monday.
“That’s because @YouTube has issued me a strike and a one week suspension for my sit-down with Kanye.”

She also said YouTube had “demonetized” her account, which has 2.4 million followers.
Owens, who left Daily Wire earlier this year after a public spat with co-founder Ben Shapiro over Israel and antisemitism, said Alphabet-owned YouTube “removed the interview as ‘hate speech,’ as it was mass reported by Zionists.”
“Their tactics never change,” Owens added.
She shared a screenshot of an email she received from YouTube which read: “Additionally, the video Kanye West (Ye) x Candace Owens | Candace Ep 42 has been removed from the Candace Owens YouTube channel because it violates our hate speech policies.”
“YouTube does not allow content containing conspiratorial claims that individuals or groups are evil, corrupt or malicious based on their protected group status,” the message from YouTube read.
The company told Owens that “the video in question contains claims that Jewish people control the media.”
Owens posted a screenshot of emails she received from YouTube informing her of the suspension.
The interview was conducted Aug. 7, but YouTube made its decision after a social media campaign to de-platform Owens flagged the clip in recent weeks.
She suggested that the move to cancel her YouTube channel was linked to a debate she had with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on Piers Morgan’s television show last week.
“The world knows why I am being targeted and frankly, I have never felt more confident that I am the right person for this to happen,” Owens wrote on X.

“Thus far, I have had zero strikes on my @YouTubeCreators account,” she said, adding: “I have now been inundated with 3 back to back content hits within minutes, plus an email that I am now fully demonetized.”
YouTube confirmed Owens’ suspension on Tuesday.
“We’ve suspended channels associated with Candace Owens from the YouTube Partner Program following repeated violations of our policies, including our Advertiser-Friendly Guidelines and Community Guidelines,” YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon said in a statement to The Post.
The company confirmed that Owens will no longer be allowed to monetize on YouTube and that the site prohibited her from uploading content to her channel for a week.
YouTube said Owens’ channels repeatedly violate the site’s policies and that creators are allowed to reapply for access in 90 days.
Ye also has had several social media accounts suspended over antisemitic remarks he made, including the repetition of tropes about Jews controlling the entertainment industry as well as blaming a Jewish doctor for inadequate medical treatment.
