Kanye West took to X (previously Twitter) in 2020 to vent about record labels, disclosing his contract with Universal Music Group. But that wouldn’t be the final time that a music label was the focus of one of the “Praise God” rapper’s wild rants. West took a shot at Atlantic Records along with one of its star performers, Cardi B, in a now-viral video. In what looks to be leaked audio from a documentary, West called out a slew of industry insiders during a phone call. “Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati,” West claimed. The tape, which is supposed to be dated approximately 2018, was apparently obtained from a documentary in which Ye is on the phone discussing the “Bongos” rapper. Cardi responded to her “Hot Sh*t” collaborator with her own video clip after hearing about his statement.

The Grammy winner collaborated with Ye aka Kanye West and Lil Durk on the 2022 single titled “Hot Sh*t.” However, on the most recent Hot Ones episode, the “Up” rapper discussed the presence of aliens in light of the US government’s recent congressional hearing about UFOs. “I genuinely have concerns that aliens are real considering it’s like, okay, so if aliens are genuine, in addition to they’re wiser than us, right, the reason why are they simply haven’t invaded us?” Cardi questioned host Sean Evans.

The recording, which is supposed to be dated approximately 2018, was apparently obtained from a documentary in which Ye is on the phone discussing the “Bongos” rapper. “Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati,” Kanye West declared in the video. “She doesn’t write her raps,” he explained, adding, “she’s just there to make herself seem as ignorant as possible.” She has purposefully replaced Nicki Minaj. They placed her there, and she has no idea what to do now. She has absolutely no idea what the f### is transpiring on. She thinks it’s a cosmic blessing, but it ain’t no f###### blessing.” When Cardi B heard about the video, she released her own video of Kanye West humming another tune. She took to X (previously Twitter) with a video of Ye complimenting her during a 2022 interview with Jason Lee of Hollywood Unlocked.

I discovered a lot about him, as well as he’s a beautiful, sweet person.”I’ve been contemplating that I want a lot of individuals who could talk to him so that they can see the real him.” Cardi B has freely said why she has chosen not to incorporate portions of her most personal circumstances into her music.
