Kanye West has once again thrust himself into the spotlight by sparking a heated debate about the Illuminati. In a viral clip that has resurfaced, the controversial artist expressed his belief that Cardi B is an “Illuminati plant” being used to replace fellow rapper Nicki Minaj.
West’s comments sparked heated debate online as several fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their reactions to the shocking allegations.

The “Praise God” rapper, known for his unfiltered commentary on a variety of subjects, shared his thoughts in a recently resurfaced clip believed to have been licked from an unreleased 2018 documentary that quickly gained traction online.
West questioned the legitimacy of Cardi B’s success in the footage, suggesting that the Illuminati orchestrated her success.
The Illuminati, a secret society often theorized to control global affairs, has long been the subject of fascination and speculation. While many dismiss it as a mere conspiracy theory, others believe in its existence and influence, especially in the entertainment industry.
“Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati,” West claims in the video. “He doesn’t write his raps. He’s just there to sound as stupid as possible. She intentionally replaced Nicki Minaj.”
He continued, “He thinks it’s a blessing from the universe, it’s not the only blessing.”
Fans Divided Over ‘Illuminati’ Claims

The hip-hop community and fans alike found themselves caught up in the backlash of the unexpected allegations, causing a surge of opinion and discussion across Twitter/X. Some users dismissed Kanye’s statement as an eccentric musing, while others engaged in a serious conversation about the existence of the Illuminati and its alleged influence in the entertainment industry.
Someone wrote, “Saying all this and then making a song with it is crazy.”
“Lol wasn’t this obvious from the beginning?” a questioning fan supported West’s claim.
“He didn’t lie. I said this when he came out with a rap but he’s cool I like him,” someone recorded.
Another said, “And a failed attempt because Nicki is still here and recording more than her.”
One particular individual who was not having it with West said, “You guys are desperate. Leave the girl alone. Sheesh it’s been a long time these bigots are going to discredit Cardi. We don’t care.”
“Cardi B has made no secret of the fact that she doesn’t write her music. He doesn’t pretend to be someone or something he’s not. Stop comparing Cardi B and Nicki,” said another fan.
“I don’t like Cardi b at all. Don’t like what he raps or what he raps or what kind of person he is BUT Kanye is a notorious cheater, among other things, so I don’t put much stock in this,” wrote another.
