Just like Beyoncé and Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Cardi Bare frequently compared. Two rappers straight from New York, certainly, but completely different from each other…
A style extravagant, insolent lyrics, an attitude of diva: we could almost confuse them. However, a rivalry has remained between the two Hip-Hop champions for several years.
But then, do they really hate each other?
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, two giants of US rap
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B largely dominate the female rap music industry in the United States. On the one hand, Nicki, an icon intergenerational with the appearance of Barbie, at the origin of global hits such as Starship Or Anaconda. On the other, Cardi B, a daring star from the Bronx, more recent in the industry: her popularity only exploded in 2017upon the release of his albumInvasion of Privacyespecially thanks to the songsBodak Yellow And Like It.
Between them, they carry a sulphurous type of music, which stands out from the crowd: with punchlines provocative and confident behavior that breaks the codes, the two young women could have turned their similarities into a strength. Due to a lack of competition quickly established between them, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B became rivals.
However, we remember well MotoSport, this feat which had seen the light of day between the two queens, with the rapper Migos. But very quickly, we understood that it was a false hope of reconciliation, after learning that they had not not even recorded the title together. In an interview, Cardi B even claimed to have been disappointed by the hypocrisy of Nicki Minaj, who would have, at the last moment, removed an attack against her from the song. If Offset’s companion nevertheless admits at that moment that there is no no tension with Nicki and that everything is just the fruit of the fans, who “want it to be true, because it amuses them to see people arguing, it’s entertaining”Minaj, on the other hand, is not of this opinion.
I really, really really blame Cardi for the interview she gave after the release of MotorSport. It really hurt me. This isn’t to brag, but the first thing you say when you talk about a duet with Nicki Minaj is ‘she changed her verse’? Um, seriously?
So what happened so that suchhostility endures ?
Cardi B, carbon copy of Nicki Minaj?
If Nicki Minaj, whose awards we have won countless times, has nothing left to prove to her listeners, some still doubt the legitimacy of Cardi B in being able to play in the same league as the interpreter of Pound The Alarm. Accused of copying Nicki Minajshe stirred up the wrath of Barbz,fans of his sworn enemy. Because in addition to being both black latin womenfemale rappers have the even outspokenAnd a common passion for scandals.
Would the one considered to be the clone of Nicki Minaj have stole the featured to his rival limiting ? In any case, this is what the main person concerned seems to think: “I heard the labels want to make a new me. Everything you get, b*tch, you got it because of me” Nicki harshly raps in a verse from No Flaga collaboration released in 2017 with 21 Savage And OffsetCardi B’s husband.
Unacknowledged jealousy, or misinterpretation by fans? Cardi B, who has forged her own community, has in any case never remained unmoved by these attacks. Recently, she was also suspected of targeting Nicki in one of her latest sounds : “What you got, I already had 5 years ago, before it was even on the market, you just have to look,” can we hear in Like Whatunveiled last March.
Between the endless clashes and the dramas tumultuous, the two from the New York ghetto have not finished sending each other to pasture. But the moment the Internet will always remember is the time when they came to blows in 2018.
Nicki and Cardi’s Epic Fashion Week Brawl
If there is one iconic scene that has left its mark on pop culture, it is the fight between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B during the Fashion Week from New York, in September 2018. While they were at a after party organized by the magazineBaazar, a discussion between the two freestyle professionals degenerated. In the famous video, which at the time was making the rounds in all media, we see Cardi B, in a red dress, threatening Nicki Minaj: “Come here, you bitch!” she shouts, then held back by security. The 31-year-old young woman even goes as far as launch shoe towards Nicki Minaj :Agesture which greatly amused the web.
The altercation was apparently sparked by inappropriate comments from Nicki Minaj towards her colleague, who would not have appreciated at all that she criticizes his way of educating his girl Culture, being barely 1 year old. To respond to the rumors, Cardi B wanted to explain herself in an Instagram post, directly aimed at Nicki.
I let you talk badly about me. I explained myself to you in person the first time, then a second time, and each time you admitted to being at fault. But when you talk about my daughter, like comments denigrating me as a mother and make comments about how I take care of my child, believe me, it’s over for you!
In response to his explanations, his fans had strongly supported him : “And it’s Team Cardi forever! I love you!”, “She’s just jealous, girl! You have everything: success, guy, money and family. She’s got it! Let her talk, she’s only been doing that lately anyway”they commented.
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj: towards reconciliation?
Today, Nicki and Cardi don’t seem still not having agreed to make a truce. Although they are quieter than before on social networks, this does not prevent fans from continuing to analyze every word of their songs, to try to find a targeted response.
Last April, the rapperGlorilla also gave them a wink in its title Aitefrom his latest album, calling for peace between the two artists: “I just pray that one day the bitches will team up, because Cardi and Nicki on the same song would break fucking records”.
If they haven’t reacted to this mention, we still hope that Cardi B and Nicki Minaj will end up reconnecting one day…
