Cardi B Reacts To Kanye West Labeling Her an "Illuminati Plant" In a Leaked Video
In recently surfaced documentary footage from 2018, Kanye West can be heard discussing Cardi B, suggesting she was strategically introduced into the industry to supplant Nicki Minaj.
During the clip, Kanye nonchalantly shares his thoughts on Cardi B's role in the music scene. "That's why Cardi B is over there. Cardi B is a plant by the illuminati," Kanye asserts. "She don't write her own raps. She just there to sound as ignorant as possible. And then makes songs like 'f**k 'em and then get some money,'" he adds, referencing Cardi's verse on G-Eazy's "No Limit (Remix)."
He goes on, stating, "She literally replaced Nicki Minaj. Purposedly, they put her there. And now, she doesn't know what to do. She has no idea what the f**k is going on. She thinks it's just a blessing from the Universe. Ain't no blessing from the f**king Universe."
In an unreleased documentary clip, Kanye West calls Cardi B an industry plant that doesn’t write her raps and was placed here to ‘replace’ Nicki Minaj. He also claims that she is made to sound as ignorant as possible by the illuminati 😳‼️
