Friends of Kanye West told TMZ that Candace Owens didn't just decide to wear their "White Lives Matter" shirts on a whim -- the two have been planning it for weeks -- with some of Kanye's former friends telling TMZ that she's acting as his chief advisor in his day-to-day life.  Sources close to Kanye told TMZ that Candace has been reaching out to people on Kanye's behalf, working to set up calls, meetings and appearances.  TMZ reported that they were told folks who were close to Kanye (many have distanced themselves after his recent attacks) believe he's in a bad space mentally, and anyone working to persuade him to do anything other than get help doesn't have his best interests at heart.
