She said: “Let me tell you something. When I be complaining about food prices and y’all motherf*ckers be like, ‘Ain’t you rich? Why are you complaining about lettuce? Why are you complaining about this?’
“That just goes to show me when you be — when you become successful, when you have money, you gonna f*cking — you gonna go broke soon because y’all not budgeting.

“So when I’m starting to see they’re like, groceries is like tripling up.
“It’s like, ‘Hey yo, what the f*ck is going on?’
“I wanna see for myself what the f*ck, sh*t is being spent on? And like when I go to the f*cking supermarket, like I went to the supermarket and I’m seeing that everything tripled up.
“That like lettuce was like $2 a couple of months ago and now it’s like f*cking $7.
“Of course I’m gonna say something — the f*ck?
“Cause if I think that sh*t is crazy, I could only imagine what middle class people or people in the hood — is motherf*cking thinking.
“So yes, I’m going to say something — the fuck.
“And I have a big platform.
“So I do want anybody that’s responsible of these f*cking prices to put that sh*t the f*ck down.
“They’re gonna see my sh*t — they might put it down,” she said.
