As Cardi B’s newly launched second album, ‘Am I The Drama’, is being promoted, rapper Nicki Minaj—who has been an adversary of hers for a long time—has aimed barbs at her. This move has effectively reignited their never-ending feud.
The most recent feud began when Nicki Minaj went on X to make jabs at Cardi's
album performance, implying that Cardi had exaggerated her sales figures while
still failing to surpass her sales. In a series of now-deleted posts on X
(formerly Twitter), she also made shots at her pregnancy with boyfriend Steffon
Diggs, her appearance, her family, and her BBL.
“A b c d e f
Gree," she tweeted.
Sur ger ree to look like meee. A b c d e f g
Rap like Barney still UGLEEE”
“Barney B”
Raw doggin pregnant with da 4th babeeeee. Barney B.BV HPV allegedlyyyyy
Cardi B took note of Nicki Minaj’s thinly veiled jabs. She recently responded to criticism from some who deemed it immoral and embarrassing for her to be expecting a child with her current boyfriend while still being legally married to rapper Offset.
In response to the assault, Cardi was unreserved. She called the Lil Wayne mentee “Cocaine Barbie” and charged her with being mediocre, while also suggesting that her chart numbers were inconsistent. She criticized Nicki Minaj for repeatedly likening herself to her, even though she has had a lead of more than ten years in the music industry. Cardi claims that Minaj won’t compare herself to current stars such as Taylor Swift and Drake due to her lack of commercial success.
Why do you keep
bringing up my album? It's not the gag that you think it is. You've been in the
game like 16 years, you need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started
around your time..Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Drake, those are the numbers you
should be competing with, and you can't because you're doing lower than all of
them. I was in high school when you came out. wtf are you comparing yourself to
me?
Cardi B, the mother 3 didn’t stop at just the music. She fired back at Nicki Minaj’s attempt to use her pregnancy to shame her by claiming that the rapper was visiting different fertility clinics to get pregnant because “the percs scrambled her eggs”.
Alright now, this is the third tweet talking about my pregnancy, like you weren't going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn't reproduce from all the percs scrambling your eggs. NOT ALLEGEDLY, lord protect my babies.
The attacks on their respective careers and personal lives communicate the enmity that exists between both women and their respective fan bases.
The online exchanges between Nicki Minaj and
Cardi B represent the most recent chapter in their ongoing feud, which first
drew public scrutiny in 2017 when they both featured on Migos' hit track
"Motorsport."
In 2018, the feud escalated to new depths when Cardi B threw a shoe at Nicki
Minaj during a brawl at the MET Gala afterparty, necessitating security to
restrain both of them.
The launch of Cardi B’s new album has reignited the rivalry between the two
leading ladies of American hip hop, and fans can look forward to more jabs
exchanged by both sides.
