Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, has fired back after Kanye West made allegations in an unreleased documentary that she was “planted by the Illuminati to replace Nicki Minaj.” The controversial rapper’s claims circulated on social media, where he accused Cardi B of not writing her own raps and being deliberately ignorant.
In response to the leaked footage, Cardi B posted a clip from an interview last year in which Kanye West praised her, stating that he believed in her and respected her talent. However, this response sparked a heated debate among her followers, with some supporting Kanye’s claims and others expressing skepticism.
Cardi B and Kanye West had collaborated on the song “Hot S**t” in July of the previous year. In an interview, Cardi B revealed that Kanye’s rap verse in the song was inspired by the media attention surrounding him, his then-wife Kim Kardashian, and her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.
Cardi B had previously been involved in a dispute with Kim Kardashian when she claimed that the Kardashians had provided her with a list of contacts after a botched nose job. This had stirred controversy and led to tensions between the two parties.
The exchange between Cardi B and Kanye West highlights the complex dynamics in the world of celebrity, where collaborations, disputes, and public statements can quickly become headline news.
