Cardi denied they had any problems saying, "We just conversated man. And that's it." She also brushed off the “No Limit” rumor by explaining, “People don’t understand that I got beef with 10 bitches in the hood, and I still be in the hood.”
After the news broke, Nicki Minaj congratulated Cardi on the No. 1 hit, praising her on Twitter.
October 2017: Migos drops “MotorSport” featuring Nicki and Cardi
It was a blessing and a curse when Migos dropped “Motorsport,” a dope track featuring both Nicki and Cardi. Despite both rappers consistently denying their feud, people began speculating they were sneak dissing each other on the same song.
Still, the two women steered clear of the rumors. “I feel like people wouldn’t even be satisfied if me and her was making out on a freaking photo,” Cardi told Complex later that month. "I feel like people just want that drama because it's entertaining."
Nicki also denied the beef in a series of tweets she later deleted. “These are men in our culture who simply refuse to let it go,” she tweeted of the alleged conflict. “They don’t do this to male M.C.’s.”
November 2017: “MotorSport” video comes out
Eventually, the video for “MotorSport” comes out and it’s quickly apparent that Nicki did not shoot on the same day as Migos or Cardi. This stokes more rumors that the two have beef, though Nicki later claims it's because her hairstylist wasn't available the original day of the shoot.
When asked about it in one interview in November, Cardi B dances around the question awkwardly, while also revealing that Nicki’s original song on the track was different.
The next day, Nicki fires off the following tweet allegedly aimed at the rising rapper.
April 5, 2018: Cardi B releases her debut album Invasion of Privacy
The winter goes by quietly, as Cardi and Nicki both seem to be in complete album mode, gearing up for 2018 album releases. Cardi’s comes first. Her debut Invasion of Privacy drops and receives critical praise, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Hours before her album comes out, Beats 1 releases an interview of Cardi where she tells Ebro her beef with Nicki is completely made up. "I just feel like it's really internet made-up," she says. "I really feel like fans and people really want to see that happen because it's really entertaining. To see people beef is entertaining."
A few days later, we learn on Saturday Night Live that Cardi is pregnant, and all seems well for the newly bonafide star.
April 12, 2018: Nicki’s releases two singles and tells Zane Lowe Cardi never showed her “genuine” love
Following Invasion of Privacy, Nicki releases “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz,” the first singles from her album Queen, which she would later announce. To debut the singles, Nicki heads over to Zane Lowe’s showon Beats 1.
During her interview with Zane, Nicki finally addresses what’s been bubbling under the surface all these months. "The only thing that Cardi did that really hurt my feelings was the first interview after 'Motorsport' came out,” Nicki said. “It just really hurt me because the only thing she kept saying was, 'I didn't hear that verse. She changed her verse.'"
"I kind of felt ambushed,” Nicki continued, while getting visibly upset. She also said Quavo "didn't back [her] up" on the story of how the record came about, which prompted the Barbs to swarm the Migos rapper.
Nicki went on to explain that her hairdresser had a scheduling conflict the day of the “MotorSport” shoot, but that Migos and Cardi kept quiet when rumors about the beef escalated. “All of them allowed me to look like I lied and even with the scheduling conflict, she’s using my hairdresser now, so even he can attest to the fact that there was a scheduling conflict,” she said.
“I really fully supported her and up until this recent interview I had never seen her show me genuine love in an interview,” she said, referring to Cardi’s conversation with Ebro. “I can just imagine how many girls wish they could of been on a song with Nicki Minaj. I’m not saying it in a cocky way.”
Coincidentally, Nicki’s original verse on “MotorSport” leaked the same day as her interview, revealing she had referenced Cardi:
I'm with a couple bad bitches that'll rip the party
If Cardi the QB, I'm Nick Lombardi
Pull up in the space coupe, I done linked with Marty
I can actually afford to get a pink Bugatti
The final version replaced Cardi’s name with Quavo, and it’s still unclear if it was meant to be shade or a shout out. Nicki later tweeted that she changed the verse per Atlantic’s request.
May 7, 2018: The Met Gala
Despite Nicki’s Beats 1 interview, photographers capture the two rappers having a cordial moment on the red carpet during the 2018 Met Gala. Once again, things seem fine.
Later in May on the Howard Stern show, Cardi explains that the two rappers talked things out at the Met Gala. “I never was feuding with anybody. There was a misunderstanding. She felt a certain type of way about something and I definitely felt a certain type of way about something. Didn’t want to ever talk about it in public because I felt like we gonna see each other again and we will talk about it," the Bronx native quipped. "It’s always little issues but the thing is, fans are always gonna make it a big thing. I spoke to her about it. It’s just like, see? It was just something that it had to be talked about."
August 10, 2018: Nicki releases ‘Queen’
In August, Nicki Minaj finally releases her album Queen, which includes her opening track "Ganja Burns." Not long after the drop, fans are convinced the slow burn is a diss aimed at Cardi. "Unlike a lot of these hoes whether wack or lit/At least I can say I wrote every rap I spit," she raps, allegedly addressing the idea that Cardi does not write a lot of her lyrics.
August 19, 2018: 'Queen' lands at No. 2
All hell seems to break loose after Queen lands in the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart behind Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD. Onika begins feuding with multiple people, including DJ Self, who she claims tried to feed her negative gossip about Cardi B. Self later denies it.
“He was just up there dissin the btch thinking that would make me fuk wit him. Lmao. Jokes on you once again dummy. Passed up on ya meal tkt now u get crumbs from her table. Ur a reality tv hoe. Used to be a respected DJ," she wrote in a series of now deleted tweets.
The next day, Nicki is interviewed by Ebro on Beats 1, and of course he asks about the Cardi beef. “Now, I didn’t know Cardi and I had an issue, but I guess we do since you’re saying it and other people are saying it,” she said, after trying to dismiss the question. “To me, she may have taken an issue with things that I’ve said, but I’m not going to bite my tongue.... You gotta have thick skin. People talk shit about me all the time.... You can’t be expect to be liked and loved and praised all the fuckin’ time. Give me a break.”
September 8, 2018: Cardi attempts to fight Nicki at NYFW
Finally, the culmination of over a year of sneak dissing, shady interviews, and rumored beef comes to a head. News that Cardi B and Nicki got into a physical fight at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during NYFW flooded timelines on Sept. 8 with video and photos of the incident. In one, Cardi appears to have a giant lump on her head following the fight.
In some videos, Cardi can be scene taking off her shoe to throw it. In another, she’s being held back while yelling "Play with me bitch...keep fucking playing with me, play with my fucking kid bitch...I'll fuck your ass up,” while Nicki is protected by security.
According to TMZ, the fight broke out after Cardi approached Nicki's table "to address the lies Nicki was spreading.” She was reportedly met with an elbow to the face as security attempted to halt the “I Like It” rapper, and Nicki’s friend Rah Ali apparently also go involved in the scuffle.
Cardi was eventually escorted out of the event, and went on Instagram to address the altercation without directly mentioning Nicki. "I've let a lot of shit slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, fuck up the way I eat," Cardi wrote. "You've threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you'll stop fuckin with them!! I let you talk big shit about me!!"
