Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj

In September 2025, Minaj mocked a $4.99 discount on Cardi’s album Am I the Drama? and tweeted about Cardi’s daughter, Kulture: ‘Kulture vulture you ugly too’—a move that sparked immediate backlash. Cardi responded by questioning Minaj’s son’s cognitive development and alleging drug addiction, transforming a professional rivalry into a personal war. In spring 2026, Cardi escalated by inviting Minaj’s ex-boyfriend Meek Mill on stage during a Philadelphia concert. This chapter, rooted in the competitive dynamics of female rap’s dominance since 2017, was widely described by fans and commentators as surpassing even the 2018 shoe-throwing incident in intensity.
