Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have a longstanding feud, and the rappers shared fighting words again on X on Monday (Sept. 29) over Cardi's new album, Am I the Drama?
“Never provoke a writer while they’re [writing emoji],” Nicki, 42, tweeted Monday night with a plug for her own album set to release on March 27, 2026. “Let the reindeer games begin.”
In a series of since-deleted tweets, the Pink Friday rapper then unleashed a tirade at 32-year-old Cardi, including writing “$4.99” to reference the promotional price of Am I the Drama? on iTunes.
Nicki called the pregnant Cardi “Barney Dangerous” and mocked her album sales, which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went double platinum in the first week.
The lyricist wrote a series of tweets mocking Bardi’s track “Magnet” and the verse: “A-B-C-D-E-F-G / these bitches can't fuck with me.”
“Abcdefgeeeeeeee,” Nicki wrote in one post. “SUR GER REE TO LOOK LIKE MEEEEEE / tell the rat & tell J ZEEEEEE / Rico Fraud & PERJURY.”
“Fallin off the charts wit a big bellyyyy / RUNNING TRAINS,” she wrote in another. “Barefoot, still smellyyyyy / Still. You. Could. Not. outsell. meeeeee.”
Cardi B entered the ring by calling Nicki “Cocaine Barbie” and adding her own “Magnet” verses dissing Nicki.
“A B C D E F G / Your man have to snatch PUSSY / Pussy taste like honey comb / Your bro be touching 12 year olds,” Cardi wrote. “Damn she was streaming ‘Magnet’ hard as hell huh??” she added in another tweet.
About digs at her album sales, Cardi said, “It’s not the gag that you think it is.. You been in the game like 16 years.. You need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around YOUR time.
"Rihanna, Taylor swift, Drake…those are the numbers you need to be competing wit and you can’t cuz you doing lower than all of them… I was in high school when you came out wtf is you comparing yourself to me for???”
She also came at the Harajuku Barbie for taking shots about the pregnancy with her fourth child (and first baby with Stefon Diggs).
“Like you wasn’t going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs scrambling your eggs. NOT ALLEGEDLY …Lord protect my babies,” Cardi wrote.
The rappers' fight devolved as they tweeted images ridiculing each other with memes of Barney and pink wigs.
From the social media bleachers, Ice Spice tweeted the emoji equivalent of “tee-hee,” while JT jumped in the drama.
“Lol that bitch home ugly & mad no celebration!” JT wrote of Cardi with crying-face emojis. “I would’ve been break dancing right now if I was #1 but she know she lied!!!!!”
Last week, JT said she’s “gonna need Jesus to help her” in response to Cardi’s diss of her on “Magnet.” The Cinderella City rapper also called Bardi a “dirty non talented rat” and wrote that her $4.99 album was the cost of a “hot dog.”
Cardi’s verse called the City Girl a “hating-ass bitch” and “ungrateful ass bitch.”
“Fake friend-ass bitch (Huh), a clown-ass bitch (Shh),” Cardi raps. “On the 'net, kick your friend while she down-ass bitch (Ah) / Your loyalty depends who you around-ass bitch, Backdoor ho, hatin' on the low-ass bitch / You a shady-ass bitch, you've been trash since birth."
