The Nigerian-American hailing from Alabama takes controversial rapper Kanye West to task with her rhyme over Kanye’s beat for “Jesus Walks.”

Oranika is especially dismayed at West praising black conservatives, admiring Trump and ostracizing the black community by making off-the-wall statements on Twitter.

She comments, “Kim gave you the box, and now we know you can afford her,” she spits. “It don’t matter how much you have or you lack, when that check clears don’t forget your children are still black.”

Poignant.
