Kanye West said in leaked footage from an unreleased 2018 documentary that Cardi B does not create her lyrics.
The clip was leaked on Sunday, October 1. In one video, the Chicago superstar is seated on a couch, flipping through a magazine, discussing Corey Gamble’s involvement with the CIA and alleging Cardi B is a “industry plant” who took Nicki Minaj’s place.

Kanye said: “Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati.”
He continued: “She don’t write her raps. She just there to sound as ignorant as possible and then make songs like, ‘fuck them and get some money.’ She has literally replaced Nicki Minaj, purposely that they put her there, and now she doesn’t know what to do, and she has no idea what the fuck is going on. She thinks it’s just a blessing from the universe. It ain’t no blessing from the universe.”
Cardi B didn’t take Kanye’s statement to heart. She responded by sharing an interview Kanye did with Jason Lee in 2022 in which he spoke about how much he loves her and that he always believed in her.
“I’ve always believed in her since she was on the show,” Kanye West said in the video shared by Cardi B.
Cardi added a love emoji to the video without directly addressing the other video where Kanye was being critical of her.
