Cardi B And Nicki Minaj’s Feud Explodes As Kids Get Dragged Into The Drama

What started as a brag about chart success has now spiralled into one of the ugliest celebrity spats of the year. Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s feud, which has been simmering since 2018, reignited this week in a three-day showdown on X. But this time, things went too far when both rappers dragged each other’s children into the mess.

From Platinum To Petty

The drama kicked off when Cardi B celebrated her new album Am I the Drama? going double platinum just 10 days after release. The project not only topped the Billboard 200 but racked up 146 million streams in its debut week.

Nicki Minaj, however, wasn’t impressed. She claimed the sales were “inflated,” sparking a heated back-and-forth. Cardi B clapped back hard, urging Nicki to compare herself to peers like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Drake instead of picking fights with her.

A Line Crossed

What was once about numbers quickly turned personal. Cardi referenced Nicki’s past fertility struggles, while Nicki retaliated by mocking Cardi’s children. The low blows stunned fans, many of whom took to social media to call out both women for crossing boundaries.

One X user wrote, “We wanted bars, not babies being dragged into rap beef. This ain’t it.” Another commented, “Both of them need to stop before they ruin their legacy. Music should be the focus, not kids.”

Cardi B’s “Final” Word

After days of chaos, Cardi B declared she was doneat least online. Posting under Nicki’s real name, Onika Tanya Maraj, Cardi issued what felt like a final statement: accusing Nicki of refusing to seek help for her issues and calling out her husband for “enabling her behaviour.”

“I’m not throwing away my career and endorsements going back and forth with a possessed drug addict,” Cardi wrote, signing off with a warning: “I’ll see you when I see you.”

But The Feud Lives On

Despite Cardi’s attempt to close the chapter, Nicki kept firing shots, dragging in media names like TMZ’s Harvey Levin and Gayle King. Cardi doubled down by calling her a “crackhead” and alleging past mental health diagnoses, all while warning her to keep her children’s names out of her mouth.

Why This Feud Still Matters

Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s beef has been part of hip hop’s cultural landscape since 2018, with highs, lows, and even that infamous physical altercation at New York Fashion Week. But this latest round feels differentmessier, more personal, and with higher stakes.

In an industry where female rappers often face pressure to compete, fans are torn between calling for peace and indulging in the spectacle. Some see it as part of rap’s competitive DNA, while others believe both stars are sabotaging their legacies.
