Cardi B & Nicki Minaj Dead Rivalry Rumors

Cardi B’s performance at MoMA PS1 in Queens, New York this week fueled rumors of a rivalry with Nicki Minaj when she called out an unnamed “bitch” out for being fake.

“You know this bitch. She never fucking liked me,” Cardi said on stage. “And all of a sudden she wants to be friends with me. No, bitch. I still don’t like you, bitch.”

Even though she never said a name, most felt it was safe to assume she was talking about Nicki. That was until Cardi tweeted lyrics to The Pinkprint song “Win Again,” which was followed with a tweet filled with praise from Nicki herself.


No beef here, guys.

It wouldn’t be a shock that some in the industry who didn’t care for Cardi before would want to be cool with her now. She does have the hottest song out right now with “Bodak Yellow” and even uprooted Nicki’s previous 3-year record for the highest-charting female rapper.
