Cardi B & Nicki Minaj Twitter Timeline Tug Of War -

The long-standing rivalry between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj has once again spilled into the public eye, with both rap superstars trading sharp words online. What began as a debate over music sales has escalated into one of their most heated clashes in years, reviving a feud that dates back to 2018.

Sparked by Chart Success

The latest back-and-forth began shortly after Cardi B’s new album Am I The Drama? debuted at No. 1 in late September 2025. To celebrate, Cardi shared messages of support from fans and peers. Shortly afterward, Nicki Minaj posted a string of cryptic social media updates, including a reference to the album’s $4.99 promotional price. Many took this as a subtle dig at Cardi’s chart achievement.

Escalation Online

In the days that followed, the posts became more pointed:

Nicki suggested Cardi was “falling off” and altered lyrics from Cardi’s single Magnet to mock her.
Cardi responded by calling Nicki “Cocaine Barbie” and pointed to past controversies surrounding Nicki’s family.
Nicki then referenced Cardi’s pregnancy and brought her daughter, Kulture, into the conversation — a move that many fans criticized as crossing the line.
Cardi fired back with a lengthy statement accusing Nicki of being obsessed with tearing others down and warning that she would no longer engage publicly: “I’m not throwing away my career going back and forth … I’ll see you when I see you.”

Family & Career Tensions

The feud quickly shifted from music sales to deeply personal territory. Nicki’s posts referenced Cardi’s family and fertility, while Cardi accused Nicki of substance abuse and claimed she should be competing with peers such as Drake, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift rather than with younger artists.

“Quiet as kept the truth is you BEEN diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar for almost 9 years and you also on heavy drugs COCAINE.. PERCS.. AND XANAX!!!” Cardi wrote in the post. “You don’t listen to nobody around you.. the only person that have the power is Kenneth Petty… but you know what happens wit that Amex when you sedated.”

Long History of Conflict

This latest flare-up is far from their first. Tensions between the two have simmered for years, beginning with a physical altercation at New York Fashion Week in 2018. Since then, their relationship has alternated between uneasy silence and periodic clashes, often playing out in front of millions on social media.

Cardi claimed she wouldn’t speak about Minaj anymore in a lengthy statement. She wrote: “This my last time responding to you because this past Twitter now.. I gotta see you… but first ima tell you truth.. You said out your own mouth that the lil girl in you haven’t forgave your mother yet and that’s because your mom used to stay silent when your dad used to touch on you everytime he did that crack pipe… I know you experienced a lot of trauma and abuse but drugs is not gonna help you.. you need to go to therapy NOW…”

“You don’t have no friends.. no family.. just that man in your house that let you do drugs til you pass out so he can spend your money and buy the hood chains..” she added. “I’m not throwing away my career and my endorsements going back and forth with wit words wit a possessed drug addict.. ILL SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU.”

What’s Next

Neither artist has indicated that a reconciliation is on the horizon. Cardi’s final message suggested she was ready to walk away from the online exchanges, while Nicki has hinted she may continue addressing the situation through her music. For now, fans of both rappers are left watching as the hip hop world’s most famous rivalry enters yet another chapter.

SAUCY SANTANA CATCHES STRAYS

Nicki Minaj has also taken shots at Saucy Santana during her tirade online. It included claims of Cardi and Ye and Jay-Z’s children getting called out in past tweets.

“Santana go back to your pig pen. You said blue ivy nappy & north look better than her didn’t you? Eat slop pig.”
