A newly resurfaced video of Kanye West criticizing Cardi B for being an industry plant to replace Nicki Minaj:
“Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati, she don’t write her raps she’s just there sounding ignorant as possible…”
Information reads: “Kanye West claims Cardi B was an industry plant from the illuminati in unreleased documentary footage.”
Last night, however, Banks took to Twitter where she praised the track “Bodak Yellow,” saying “Yo Bodak Yellow is really still a TOP TIER female rap record. It’s so fucking NEW YORK.” This prompted a response from a fan who called Banks out for switching up on Cardi. That’s when Banks came out and said “It’s mad funny how fans be thinking they know what goes on behind the scenes. Or think artists care about what y’all think about industry we work in. I’ve always thought bodak yellow was fire. Plus cardi b’s personal, mental and cultural glow up is solid.”
From there, Banks went on to call Cardi an “industry plant.” Despite this, Banks still has a ton of respect for the superstar rapper. “She was an industry plant lmao. But sis took advantage of the opportunity and rode that bitch the fuck out, assembled the right team, seized the moment, and made herself a cultural mainstay. U have to respect it,” she wrote.
This then led to a deeper conversation about none other than Iggy Azalea. When a fan called Banks out for not affording the same luxuries to Iggy, Banks was quick to say that she feels like Azalea completely fumbled the bag and that her privilege as a white woman wasn’t enough to save her.
