Cardi B Claps Back at Nicki Minaj, Reignites Longstanding Feud

by

Cardi B is ready to be pretty and petty.

Following Nicki Minaj‘s suggestion that Cardi B exaggerated sales numbers for her latest album Am I the Drama? in order to achieve the double platinum certification on September 29th, Cardi B demonstrated who is really the source of the conflict.

Cardi questioned on X, September 29th, “Why do you keep mentioning my album??” She explained, “It’s not as big a deal as you’re making it out to be. You’ve been in the music industry for 16 years, so you should be comparing yourself to artists who started around the same time as you.”

The rapper known for “I Like It”-who recently released her second album earlier this month-mentioned other artists like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Drake, all of whom put out albums in the late 2000s.

“Those are the numbers you need to be competing wit and you can’t cuz you doing lower than all of them,” she continued. “I was in high school when you came out wtf is you comparing yourself to me for???”

Cardi-who is expecting her fourth child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs and already shares kids Kulture, 8, Wave, 3, and Blossom, who is 12 months old, with her ex Offset-strongly criticized the “Super Bass” rapper for hinting again that she might have contracted Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

“So, this is the third tweet discussing my pregnancy,” the 32-year-old explained. “God, please protect my children.”

Besides pointing out, in a tweet that has since been removed, that Am I the Drama? charges $4.99 per song, Cardi also referred to the artist as “Barney Dangerous” and then made fun of her song “Magnet.”

“Abcdefgeeeee / Completely exceeding expectations with a large physique,” Nicki wrote. “RUNNING TRAINS / Going without shoes, still noticeable / Still. you. Couldn’t. surpass. my. sales.”

The 40-year-old also criticized Cardi’s appearance, claiming Cardi had cosmetic procedures done to resemble her.

At the same time, Cardi B playfully called out Nicki for repeatedly featuring her song “Magnet” on her album, jokingly tweeting, “Damn she was streaming Magnet hard as hell huh??”

She further stooped to a low level by bringing up the sexual assault conviction of Jelani Maraj, the brother of the “Starships” artist, and wrote, “Your bro be touching 12 year olds.” (He was 46 years old when he received a 25-year prison sentence in 2020 after being convicted of raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter.)

Cardi B said she was caught off guard by Nicki Minaj’s posts on social media. She explained, “naaaa cuz I was really baking ribs and making blondie brownies and here come this bh bothering me on a damn monday.”

“You must’ve missed me, huh crazy?? Now kiss my feet,” Cardi added. “Nothing more annoying than a bored b—h.”

Bobby (shown second from left) spoke about rumors of a disagreement with Tan (in the middle) in January 2024. This was two months after he shared news of his departure from Queer Eye following eight seasons.

He assured Vanity Fair that he and Tan are doing okay. “There was a disagreement, but that’s a private matter between Tan and me, and it doesn’t affect the show,” he explained. “It was a personal issue that had been building up-and just to be clear, it wasn’t romantic.”

In March 2024, Tan addressed claims that he tried to get Jeremiah Brent to replace Bobby on Queer Eye.

Netflix and the production companies held a thorough casting process. I didn’t recommend my friend for the role. They ultimately got it because they were the most qualified candidate,” he explained on Instagram. “I didn’t help them get the job by causing someone else to be removed.

After years of speculation about a disagreement between them, Holly Marie Combs, Shannen’s former costar from Charmed, revealed on her December 2023 podcast Let’s Be Clear that Alyssa supposedly gave a show producer an ultimatum: choose between her and Shannen. This situation reportedly caused Shannen to leave the show in 2001.

In February 2024, Alyssa posted on Instagram, stating, “I couldn’t have gotten anyone fired,” and adding that “these events happened so long ago that any current accounts are simply rewriting the past.”

At a MegaCon Orlando panel discussion the following day, Shannen stated, “There’s no attempt to rewrite history; the story we all experienced is the truth.”

Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer.

During a September 2023 game of Stir the Pot with her daughter Kelly Osbourne on TopMob News, Sharon revealed that the That ’70s Show actor was the most impolite celebrity she’d ever encountered, describing him as a “rude, rude, rude, rude little boy” and a “dastardly little thing.”

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Five years earlier, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton was a guest on The Talk in 2014, he seemed upset – she said he had an “attitude” – after she mispronounced his name.

She remembered him asking, ‘Who are you, and what have you accomplished in this field?’ She said she responded with, ‘Listen, young one, don’t even try to mess with me, because I will completely dominate you.’ Then she added, ‘You have no idea who you’re up against, kid.’

In August 2022, Cassadee and Maren had a public disagreement with Brittany, the wife of country singer Jason Aldean. This started after Brittany posted a video on Instagram on August 23rd, where she wrote, “I’m grateful to my parents for not allowing me to change my gender during my childhood. I enjoy being feminine now.”

In a 2022 TikTok trend, JoJo Siwa called Candace Cameron Bure the “rudest” celebrity she’d ever met. She later explained this was because Bure had once declined to pose for a photo with her on a red carpet, leaving her feeling rejected. Soon after, the Full House star apologized, saying, “I think I really broke your 11-year-old heart. I didn’t take a picture with you. Ugh! I feel awful, I feel-JoJo, I’m so sorry.”

The two people resolved their differences. However, some months later, Candace was questioned about whether the Great American Family network – where she’s the chief creative officer – would ever showcase same-sex couples as the main characters in its Christmas movies. She stated that it wouldn’t, explaining, “I believe that Great American Family will continue to center around the traditional definition of marriage.”

JoJo, who publicly shared that they are part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, posted on Instagram that the actress’s statement was “rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”

Back in June 2021, Courtney Love claimed that Olivia Rodrigo had copied the album cover art of her band Hole for a promotional picture without acknowledging the source. Olivia responded with, “Love u and live through this sooooo much.” Courtney then replied, “Olivia – you’re welcome. My favorite flower shop is in Notting Hill, London! Message me for details! I look forward to reading your note [winking face emoji].”

While on Watch What Happens Live, the actor from Happy Days explained why he and the star of Forrest Gump didn’t get along while filming Turner & Hooch in 1989.

I directed the film for 13 days, and then I was asked to come to Jeff Katzenberg‘s, the producer’s, office. He told me, ‘Do you have all your belongings? You can go home now,’ he recalled.

Winkler did seem to have a good relationship with Hanks’ dog. “I got along really well with that dog,” he stated. “I loved that dog.”

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Those who enjoyed watching The Hills likely recall that famous quote, spoken by Lauren at the start of season three. The conflict between them began when Heidi started seeing her future husband, Spencer Pratt, and really escalated when Lauren claimed Heidi and Spencer spread a false story about her allegedly being in a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

The actors involved in the Fast and Furious franchise resumed their long-running disagreement when Tyrese publicly criticized Dwayne on Instagram after the release date for Fast and Furious 9 was moved to April 2020. On the very same day, plans were revealed for a Fast and Furious spin-off film featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham, slated for release in 2019. Shortly after, Tyrese stated he would leave Fast 9 if Dwayne remained part of the cast.

Tyrese later discussed the disagreement, explaining to Van Lathan on the The Red Pill podcast, “I still haven’t spoken to The Rock, but we plan to talk.” He also mentioned he had spoken with The Rock’s production partner, but not with the actor directly.

Tyrese explained that he often ended up speaking for others connected to the franchise, but he regretted being the only one to publicly share those thoughts, admitting it was his own mistake. “It’s not professional, it’s not cool,” he stated.

No more bad blood here.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe the drama between Taylor and Katy! They were totally feuding for *years*, and people even said their fight inspired Taylor’s song “Bad Blood”! It all supposedly started because of a backup dancer and, like, competing tours – can you imagine?! But then, get this, Katy sent Taylor a literal olive branch before Taylor’s Reputation Tour even started! It was the sweetest thing, and it finally ended all the bad blood. I was SO relieved!

I just arrived at my dressing room and discovered a real olive branch,” Taylor said in an Instagram video. “This means so much to me.”

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

Oh my god, I’ve been following Sex and the City forever, and I was *devastated* when I heard about the drama between Kim and SJP! They’d been dodging rumors of a feud for years, and I really thought they were close. But then Kim decided she wasn’t doing a third movie, and honestly? The things she said about SJP just… raised so many eyebrows. It totally reignited all the old gossip, and as a huge fan, I’ve been obsessively following every little detail! I just want them to be friends again!

During a September 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked SJP how she felt about Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan they had only been coworkers, not friends.

Honestly, hearing her talk was just really tough. She said she was completely heartbroken, and we actually talked about it a lot that week. She kept saying she was upset, and I could tell it was really bothering her. She explained that it just didn’t match how she remembered things happening, and that was what was so upsetting to her. She kept saying, “I don’t know…” but it was clear she felt her recollection of our experience was completely different. It was like she was revisiting something painful and trying to make sense of it.

It’s definitely sad, but I feel like what really connected us was sharing that one unique experience. It started as a professional relationship, but over the years, it became something personal because it took up so much of our lives. So, I’m hoping that those years and the bond we formed will outweigh anything that’s been said recently,” she continued. “Spending so many years working on something special that people truly connected with was a real privilege.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

 

The famous singers have been arguing since 2004. While receiving the Classic Songwriter Award at the Q Awards that year, Elton told the audience, “Madonna, best fking live act? Fk off! Since when has lip-syncing been considered a live performance? I apologize for that, but I believe anyone who lip-syncs in public on stage, especially when people pay around 75 pounds to see them, should be punished.”

The former Grey’s Anatomy star caused a disagreement with the show’s creator back in 2008 when she asked to not be considered for an Emmy Award. The actress explained she did this because she felt the writing hadn’t provided her with strong enough scenes to deserve a nomination.

Shonda spoke about Katherine’s choice in a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter. She explained, “It hurt a little, but I wasn’t completely shocked.” Shonda added, “When someone consistently demonstrates their true character, you should pay attention. I’ve really taken that [mantra] to heart, and it’s been a valuable lesson for me.”

The fight between Nicki and Cardi at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party during New York Fashion Week made headlines everywhere. A month later, Cardi publicly explained what started the disagreement with Nicki.

Cardi B shared in W magazine’s Art Issue that someone has been consistently criticizing her. “I had talked to this person twice before, and we thought we’d resolved things,” she explained, “but the negativity continued.”

Okay, so from what I understand, the tension *really* flared up when Cardi noticed Nicki had supposedly liked – and then quickly unliked – a tweet questioning Cardi’s skills as a mom. Now, Nicki has said she didn’t actually do that, but that’s where things hit a breaking point, from Cardi’s perspective. It was a small thing, but apparently, it felt really personal. It’s always the little things, isn’t it? Social media can be so tricky! Misunderstandings happen so easily, and unfortunately, this one escalated.

I was set to earn a lot of money from my Bruno Mars tour, but I gave that up to be there for my daughter,” Cardi explained. “I love my daughter, and I’m a really good mom. It’s frustrating when people without kids criticize that, especially when you consider that I won’t run into another artist like that at the grocery store or just walking around town.

The conflict between Kanye and Taylor began in 2009 when the “Stronger” rapper interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. They later reconciled and became friends, but their relationship ended in 2026 following the release of his song “Famous,” which mentioned the “End Game” singer by name.

On February 2025, the day before the Grammys, Kanye West began following only Taylor Swift on Instagram. He didn’t offer any explanation for this action, and Taylor Swift didn’t make any public statement in response.

“I don’t know her.”

The supposed rivalry between Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez has been talked about for over 15 years. It began when the singer, often called the Queen of Christmas, was asked about other artists in an interview. When the interviewer asked for her thoughts on Jennifer Lopez, Mariah famously responded, “I don’t know her.”
