Grace Jones has never been one to hold back, and she’s not about to start now.

Over the weekend, the supermodel slammed Lady Gaga during an interview with a radio talk show, saying: “Gaga came to meet me, and I just could not find a soul.” Now, Grace appears on the cover of PAPER magazine’s “Nowstalgia” issue, and she’s got some strong words for Kanye West: “Kanye has been ripping off stuff from me and Jean-Paul Goude for a long time, so it was no surprise to me,’ she says. ‘I believe they would’ve done it anyway, and I believe Jean-Paul when he said he’d rather rip himself off than have someone else rip him off.'”

Specifically, Grace went on to address ‘Ye’s use of Amber Rose in a rendition of her Island Life album art for Complex in 2009. Basically, she wasn’t a fan: “It’s so like, ‘I can’t beat him, [so I guess I’ll try to] understand him,’ she says, slightly exasperated. ‘But he did it with somebody else and really badly.'”

Yikes. Check out more highlights from the issue below, including her assertion that she’s never even heard of Black Lives Matter:

On the Black Lives Matter movement: “I’ll have to look it up!…We’re all human beings so I don’t even go there.”

On Kim Kardashian‘s infamous #BreakTheInternet cover: “’There’s a lot of humor in that picture in that original, (with) the champagne popping off,’ she says. ‘As an artist, you know, he probably just wanted to have an ass like that.'”

On allegations of racism against photographer Jean-Paul Goude: “The work [Jean-Paul and I] did together, people were calling it racist. It wasn’t racist at all. It was him basically putting me on a pedestal, really.”
