The rap world is ablaze once again as Nicki Minaj and Cardi B reignite their years-long feud. The drama unfolded on social media, with both artists taking shots at each other, primarily focusing on album sales and online antics. Buckle up, South Africa, because this hip-hop rivalry is heating up!
The Spark: Album Sales and Social Media Sparring
The latest round of conflict seems to stem from Cardi B's new album, 'Am I the Drama?', which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Nicki Minaj, known for her own chart-topping success, appeared to take issue with Cardi's sales figures, reposting fan comments suggesting that Nicki still holds the crown for the biggest first-week sales for a female rap album this decade.
Minaj further fueled the fire with cryptic tweets, including one simply stating '4.99,' seemingly referencing the discounted price of Cardi B's album. These tweets were quickly deleted, but not before screenshots circulated widely across the internet.
Cardi B Responds: 'Kiss My Feet!'
Cardi B didn't hold back in her response. In a series of posts on X, she fired back with lines like, 'Nothing more annoying than a bored btch,' and 'You must've missed me, huh crazy?? Now kiss my feet.' She also questioned why Minaj kept bringing up her album, implying that it wasn't the flex Minaj thought it was.
Past Beef and a History of Conflict
This isn't the first time these two rap titans have clashed. Their feud dates back to at least 2018, including a physical altercation at New York Fashion Week. The tension between them has been simmering for years, punctuated by diss tracks and social media jabs.
