We’ve not heard the last of the long-running rivalry between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. This beef was reignited this week after both artists came for each other on X.
The latest feud started after Nicki tweeted, “Never provoke a writer while they’re [writing emoji],” with a plug for her upcoming album set to release on March 27, 2026.
Not long after, in a series of since-deleted tweets, Nicki unleashed a tirade at Cardi, including writing “$4.99” to reference the promotional price of “Am I the Drama?” on iTunes.
She referred to pregnant Cardi as “Barney Dangerous,” mocking her dwindling album sales, which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went double platinum in the first week.
Shortly after, Cardi B responded by calling Nicki a Cocaine Barbie whose brother likes sleeping with kids.
“A B C D E F G / Yor man have to snatch PUSSY / Pussy taste like honey comb / Your bro be touching 12 year olds. Damn she was streaming ‘Magnet’ hard as hell huh??” she responded.
On Nicki’s album sales diss, Cardi wrote, “It’s not the gag that you think it is.. You 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 need to be competing wit and you can’t cuz you doing lower than all of them… I was in high school when you came out wtf is you comparing yourself to me for???”
Reacting to Nicki mocking her pregnancy, “Like you wasn’t going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs scrambling your eggs. NOT ALLEGEDLY …Lord protect my babies.”
WOW.
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper, songwriter and television personality. Born in Manhattan and raised in The Bronx, New York City, she became an internet celebrity after several of her posts and videos became viral on Vine and Instagram.
From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York to follow her music aspirations, and released two mixtapes—Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, before signing with label Atlantic Records in early 2017.
Cardi B has since earned three number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100; “Bodak Yellow” made her the second female rapper to top the chart with a solo output—following Lauryn Hill in 1998, “I Like It” made her the only female rapper to attain multiple number-one songs on the chart, and her Maroon 5 collaboration “Girls Like You” made her the sixth female artist to achieve three number-one singles on the chart during the 2010s.
Her debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy (2018), on which the former two songs are included, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, broke several streaming records and was certified triple platinum by the RIAA. Critically acclaimed, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, making Cardi B the only woman to win the award as a solo artist.
