Cardi B has sent a threatening message to her “haters” after footage emerged of Kanye West calling her an “Illuminati plant.”
The WAP rapper warned people to leave her alone and let her do her music on an Instagram Live as she threatened to post “receipts” that would bring the internet down.
The 30-year-old had previously responded to West – who made the comments accusing her of being a plant in an unreleased 2018 documentary – by sharing his own words from 2022 when he said: “I always believed in her.”
In the clip, Cardi B said, “To my haters and to all the motherfuckers who wanna see chaos: Leave me the fuck alone ’cause I’m coming with receipts.”
“I’m going to throw this internet into a fucking mess, you don’t even know it.”

Bad blood: Kanye West (pictured in 2020) suggested that Cardi B was an industrial plant – more specifically, “an Illuminati plant” – in an unreleased 2018 documentary leaked on Sunday.
Online fans have speculated about who this could be aimed at, with the “I Wonder” rapper being the most frequently suggested.
However, the tirade appears to be directed at several people. Whether there are other famous faces in this group seems to be a mystery.
She continued, “It’s going to be crazy, so let me keep it sweet.” I’ve matured, keep me there.
“And I’m not just saying it, I literally got actual, dated receipts.”
“So leave me alone because none of you will be ready for this.”
“Let me mind my business, let me keep working, let me be a mother, let me keep making music.” Don’t try to bring Belcalis with you [Cardi B’s real name] out of.
“I love Cardi B, don’t bring Belcalis. ‘Leave me there, ok?’
The singer had previously responded to the now 46-year-old Chicago native’s viral clip by tweeting and then deleting a 2022 clip of West praising her and her talents in a Hollywood Unlocked clip.
In the clip, released the same year the pair collaborated on the track Hot S***, he says he’s been crushing on Cardi B since her time on the reality show Love & Hip-Hop: New York have used.
“I’ve always believed in her since she was on the show,” West said in the clip, which Cardi B posted with a heart emoji.
This seems to contradict newly surfaced comments from 2018, in which West says that Cardi B doesn’t “write her raps” but “just exists to sound as ignorant as possible and then make songs like that.” “F*** them and get some money.”‘
West – who has largely retreated from the media since a series of anti-Semitic statements late last year – added that Cardi B has “literally replaced Nicki Minaj” and was “intentionally” positioned at the level of fame she has achieved.
OK? She concluded by encouraging people, “Let me mind my business, let me keep working, let me be a mother, let me keep making music.”

History: Cardi B isn’t the only successful star to face accusations of being an industrial factory, as artists like Billie Eilish and Katy Perry have also been the subject of similar allegations
“Now she doesn’t know what to do,” he continued, “and she has no idea what the hell is going on.”
“She thinks it’s just a blessing from the universe – it’s not a blessing from the fucking universe.”
Cardi B isn’t the first big name to face this accusation.
In recent years, a similar discourse has emerged surrounding Billie Eilish, Ice Spice and Katy Perry, with a seemingly immediate rise to prominence that some believe is being “shoved down consumers’ throats,” according to a 2020 Complex article.
