In a phone conversation, Kanye claimed that Cardi was a ‘plant by the Illuminati’Credit: GettyIn the initial drama, Kanye spoke about Cardi B, 30, in a leaked segment from an unreleased documentary, according to HotNnewHipHop.
In a clip from the footage circulating on X, Kanye ranted about Cardi B while on the phone.
The producer raged: “Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati. She don’t write her raps, she’s just there to sound as ignorant as possible… You know, she has literally replaced Nicki Minaj purposefully.
“They put her there, and now she doesn’t know what to do, she has no idea what the f**k is going on.”
Kanye concluded: “She thinks it’s just a blessing from the universe. It ain’t no blessing from the f**king universe.”
In response, Cardi pulled up an interview from last year in which Kanye spoke to Jason Lee at Hollywood Unlocked about his collab with the so-called plant.
In the interview, he said: “My cousins were saying ‘come by here’ yesterday but I was finishing that verse for your girl, you know what I mean. Like I always believed in her.”
Cardi posted the affirmative clip on X and added a red heart emoji.
In the comment section of Cardi’s post, many fans and critics debated whether Kanye’s new comments canceled out his leaked, private criticism.
One person said: “This means nothing he still said u a plant you think you ate.”
A second agreed: “Oh she’s in denial.”
Another critic asked: “What’s more believable? A behind the doors conversation or an interview with ur friend who just coerced him to do a collab with u?”
“This proves nothing sweetie… you’re still a fraud,” added a fourth social media user.
However, one fan praised: “NOW THATS HOW U RESPOND!”
Cardi B has plenty of beef with other stars, including a feud with Madonna and tension with YouTuber MrBeast.
Some fans even worried that she’d greatly insulted Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 42, after she spilled plastic surgery secrets about the Kardashians.
Earlier this year, Cardi B revealed that after she had a botched nose job, the family was able to give her “a list of people” to call to get the matter fixed.
After Cardi’s comments, one fan claimed on Reddit: “Kim gonna go after Cardi. The public (us) are going to ‘commend’ Cardi for being open about obvious surgery. Honesty policy. The Kardashians will try ride the honesty train and admit to having an eyebrow tint maybe. Bravery.”
A second wrote: “Kim is going to deny deny deny this.”
Another asserted: “They’re going to try to blackball her after this.”
