Nicki Minaj Issues Strong Warning Following Cardi B’s Latest Remarks
The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B has reached another boiling point after a heated exchange on social media this week. What began as Cardi throwing sharp comments about Minaj and her fans quickly spiraled into one of the most personal rounds of their rivalry yet.
On Thursday afternoon, Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) and responded in explosive fashion. Without naming Cardi directly, she promised that the Bronx rapper would never again insult Black women or drag children into their back-and-forth.
> “Dear BLACK WOMEN, I can GUARANTEE YOU that h*e will never EVER get on my net & discuss another BLACK BABY AGAIN. I can GUARANTEE YOU that hoe will never EVER call black women roaches & monkeys AGAIN!!!!!!!! -Someone had to do it,” Minaj wrote.
The post immediately set off waves of reactions online, with fans split between applauding Minaj’s fiery defense and criticizing the feud for becoming too toxic.
A Rivalry That Refuses to End
The Minaj–Cardi beef is nothing new. Ever since Cardi broke into the mainstream with Bodak Yellow in 2017, speculation of tension between the two stars has followed them. The situation erupted publicly in 2018 during New York Fashion Week when the rappers clashed in person, creating one of hip-hop’s most viral moments.
Since then, the feud has mostly lived online, with both women taking subtle (and not-so-subtle) shots at each other through posts, interviews, and cryptic lyrics. Still, fans often note that despite years of conflict, neither has released a direct diss track aimed at the other.
Fans Call for Music, Not Drama
Many listeners are growing tired of the constant social media firestorms. Hip-hop fans argue that if the rivalry must continue, it should unfold in music where both women could showcase their lyrical ability instead of trading insults online. Commentators have echoed this sentiment, suggesting that endless Twitter battles risk overshadowing their artistry.
Industry Voices Weigh In
The feud hasn’t gone unnoticed by fellow artists.
50 Cent recently hinted at concern, posting a cryptic message suggesting the situation could spiral further. Others in the industry have pointed out that while competition has always fueled hip-hop, the personal nature of this particular beef has turned many fans off.
What Comes Next?
Nicki Minaj is currently riding the success of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, while Cardi B continues to tease her long-awaited sophomore album. With both women active in music, the possibility of diss tracks—or at least veiled lyrical shots—remains high.
Still, whether the feud evolves into music or continues in viral tweets, it’s clear that this chapter in their story is far from over. Almost a decade into Cardi B’s career, her rivalry with Nicki Minaj remains one of the most polarizing and talked-about sagas in hip-hop.
