Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj

In September 2025, Minaj mocked a $4.99 discount on Cardi's album Am I the Drama? and insulted Cardi's daughter, Kulture, in a series of posts — a move that sparked immediate backlash. Cardi responded by questioning Minaj's son's cognitive development, transforming a professional rivalry into a personal war. The two continued trading jabs into 2026, pulling in exes and old grievances along the way. 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.
