Nicki Minaj Break Social Media Silence To Attack Cardi B’s Daughter Kulture Looks While Mother Of Three Make Boldly Shocking Reaction On Incident
Fresh off the success of her latest album, Am I the Drama?, Cardi B is in the middle of a heated social media drama with Nicki Minaj. The two have long been at odds, going back to the early days of Cardi B’s career, though what appears to have set off this current flare-up were early reports that Cardi’s latest album, which debuted at the top of the charts this week, was the best performing album from a female rap act in history.
In a string of since-deleted tweets on Monday, Nicki took issue with the claims, alleging that Cardi’s album sales were inflated by bundles and discounts. From there, chaos quickly ensued.
Cardi fired back at Minaj, noting that an artist of her pedigree should be comparing themselves to the Taylor Swifts of the world as opposed to her.
“You been in the game like 16 years.. you need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around YOUR time,” she wrote on social platform X, formerly Twitter. “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???”
In response, Nicki took to X for the first of many since-deleted tirades attacking Cardi’s promotional methods, claiming her $4.99 album promotion was “cheapening” her music. She also shared AI-generated images likening Cardi to the children’s TV show character Barney. Even more troubling, the attacks escalated into more personal realms, with Nicki making disparaging comments about Cardi B’s pregnancy, and mentioning her children explicitly.
Cardi responded in kind, speculating whether or not Nicki was abusing substances, and insinuating that Minaj’s substance use has impacted her children’s health. Cardi also accused Nicki’s brother of having a sexual assault case. She also insinuated that Minaj was infertile as a result of drug use.
The exchange only escalated from there, with Nicki going on to continue to mention Cardi’s children and also accusing various figures in the music industry — notably her favorite target Roc Nation — of backdoor dealings to undermine her career. Cardi at one point outright challenged Nicki to share her location, appearing to escalate the war of words into something more serious. Nicki threatened to sue over Cardi’s comments about infertility.
Things continued to escalate late into this afternoon, with Nicki at one point imploring her audience to not stream Am I the Drama? and Cardi writing a lengthy post mentioning Nicki Minaj’s past experiences with sexual assault. “I’m not throwing away my career and my endorsements going back and forth with wit words wit a possessed drug addict,” Cardi wrote. “ILL SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU.”
“Barney B and Kulture Vulture,” Nicki tweeted, referencing Cardi and Offset’s oldest daughter. “Kulture Vulture you ugly too…Do something. We in New York. Heavy on it…Kulture u a roach & a monkey like your sister.”
Cardi responded by begging Nicki to pull up to fight. She also took shots at Nicki’s child.
“Papa Bear I’m sorry you can’t speak and banging on spoons because your mom couldn’t put the drugs down,” Cardi posted. “I’m sorry your mom not even paying attention to you on your own birthday because she a obsessed and dark-spirited hating h*e.”
“Papa Bear I’m sorry you can’t speak and banging on spoons because your mom couldn’t put the drugs down,” Cardi posted. “I’m sorry your mom not even paying attention to you on your own birthday because she a obsessed and dark-spirited hating h*e.”
She continued: “You said f**k Vulture what??” Cardi snapped. “Bi**h f**k that slow a*s song that came out your pu**y. You was wishing so much negativity on my while I was pregnant and look at your karma. Look what your rotten pu**y produced? Now he a whole 5 year old tippy toeing around the house and can’t spell his name.”
Cardi continued to tell Nicki to pull up to shoot a fair one with Cardi’s sister, Hennessy. Nicki claimed Cardi called the police when her husband threatened Offset in 2023. Nicki also claimed Cardi begged her to do a joint tour and album, and tried to sabotage Nicki’s tour out of spite.
“I don’t want to have to drop that recorded call,” she added.
Cardi wasn’t trying to hear it. “Stop all the talking where you at?” Cardi tweeted. “Drop the addy right now h*.”
