"I've always believed in her since she was on the show," West said in the interview with Lee, seemingly referring to the reality show "Love & Hip-Hop: New York" that helped launch Cardi B's career.

The "Donda" rapper fired shots at some of his fellow artists associated with his G.O.O.D Music label, accusing them of not appreciating his greatness and claiming that they rode on his wave rather than make individual waves of their own.

West singled out prominent names such as Nas, Pusha T, and Teyana Taylor in a viral clip, suggesting that their success was intricately tied to his influence. He wasn't happy with himself for giving Taylor her biggest song, "Gonna Love Me," and for producing for Pusha T on his "Daytona" album.

West also dissed Nas for rapping off-beat on the song "Cops Shot the Kid."

"These m--------- don't appreciate me. These m--------- are trying to use me. I'm the greatest m------- artist living, and I can do everything," he declared in the clip.
