Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s feud has everything: a physical altercation in couture gowns; the alleged leaking of private phone numbers on the internet; a 10-part Instagram saga; an odd call for a truce. The only thing missing from this clash of rap titans is an actual rap song, but that’s hardly necessary in our current era of social media-driven feuds. The latest chapter in the now year-old squabble began on October 28 when news broke that Cardi’s sister, Hennessy Carolina, had accused Nicki of leaking Cardi’s phone number to fan clubs devoted to Nicki, leading members of those fan clubs to harass Cardi. Nicki denied the accusation. “You [Cardi] can’t control your sister, but you want me to control millions of fans,” she said on the 10th episode of her radio show on Apple’s Beats 1, Queen Radio, released this past week. “I’ve never leaked a number in my life ... y’all continue to lie on me to make me look like a bad person.” It seems fair to say that Nicki’s comments struck a nerve. In response, Cardi posted 10 Instagram videos addressing Nicki and covering such topics as what kind of narrative Nicki is constructing; whether Nicki’s role in their feud is that of a victim, an aggressor, or the Street Fighter character Chun Li (a reference to Nicki’s latest album); how Cardi has turned down advertising deals that Nicki subsequently picked up (she specifically mentioned the denim brand Diesel); and how jealous Nicki is of Cardi's success. Altogether, the videos ran for about eight minutes total; Cardi would later delete them, but not before someone compiled them on YouTube for posterity: Cardi’s posts made it seem like she had hit Nicki with her full arsenal of truth, feelings, and meme-worthy phrases. The videos immediately went viral. And while they may have been prompted by an alleged doxxing, they also seemed to confirm that bad blood has been brewing between Cardi and Nicki for some time. Among other things, Cardi specifically accused Nicki of lying “so much you can’t keep up with your fucking lies” and threatening other artists and telling them not to work with Cardi. Over the past year, the two rappers have gone from denying ill will toward one another to slyly shading each other to supposedly brawling at a party during New York Fashion Week. Their feud is supposedly rooted in a disagreement over how a track came together, and though it’s gone through distinct periods of dormancy — Jezebel has a full timeline — Cardi’s Instagram videos undoubtedly escalated it. Eventually, Nicki tweeted an oblique call for a truce. But it’s unclear if that truce will actually happen or simply smooth things over temporarily. Regardless, while Nicki and Cardi’s feud might seem superficially entertaining, there’s also something deeper and instructive embedded within it. By looking at the two rappers’ latest clash in the relative comfort of its aftermath, we can see how they have maintained a tense relationship that speaks to both women’s understanding of their fans and fandom, and the roles they play in pop culture and the music industry. What’s more, it reveals some unsavory things about what it means to be a rap fan today. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s feud fits into an established pattern of female rappers fighting with each other — and their fans egging it on Nicki Minaj is no stranger to very public fights. Between clashing with Taylor Swift over who gets nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards, bickering with Miley Cyrus over taking sides in her dispute with Swift, and what is now an eight-year feud with Lil’ Kim over rap industry dominance, the Google results of “Nicki Minaj” and “feud” read like a yearbook of music titans, dating back to when Nicki released her first mixtape in 2007. It’s always possible that there are genuine disagreements or disfavor within these squabbles. However, it’s important to know that when it comes to the mainstream consumption of female-driven hip-hop, there seems to exist an irrational paradigm that reads like a crooked fairy tale: There can only ever be one dominant female rapper of the moment. Cardi discussed this idea as it pertains to herself and Nicki in an interview with Complex in October 2017. “I feel like people wouldn’t even be satisfied if me and [Nicki] was making out on a freaking photo,” she said. “I feel like people just want that drama because it’s entertaining.” This “only one” theory doesn’t seem to apply to male rappers, or to female artists in other music genres. (In the latter category, while you could point to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in the 2000s or Madonna and Cyndi Lauper in the ’80s, both of the artists in each of those respective pairs were able to coexist and be successful without being pulled into a narrative about dominance and reigning supreme.) But as Kiana Fitzgerald argued at Complex in April 2018, there was a decline in the number of prominent female rappers in early 2000s, and “once the leading cast of female rappers dwindled, the space for women in rap restricted by default — if there are fewer women rapping at a prominent level, there’s less room needed for them. That tightened space in the rap landscape was the perfect breeding ground for competition.” That’s how the idea of a reigning queen of rap likely originated. And as Tyler Lewis wrote for the Atlantic in 2010: What the hip-hop community wanted in female emcees is simply different than what the mainstream record-buying public wants in a female emcee. And the message that the mainstream record-buying public has sent to the industry is that it doesn’t much care about female emcees unless they are larger-than-life caricatures that tragically reinforce and celebrate white beauty standards and cartoonish, one-dimensional sexuality that fronts like it is all about female sexual agency when it isn’t. And there is only room for one. When Lewis was writing in 2010, Nicki had recently released her first album, Pink Friday, after three mixtapes. And Lewis was explaining that while the very public fight between Nicki and Lil’ Kim that spanned that same year could have been the result of a genuine dislike between the two, it was also a byproduct of Nicki and Kim adhering to what the music industry seemed to want from them. “The truth is that it serves the interest of a music industry that does not want to (or doesn’t know how to) support and promote a variety of female emcees to continue to perpetuate the notion that female emcees are volatile and won’t allow for other female emcees to get any shine,” Lewis wrote. So both women repeatedly asserted their supremacy over the other and over the genre. Their posturing made headlines, drawing attention toward the battle between the “reigning queen” and “the new voice of hip-hop,” and becoming a fight for fandom. That was eight years ago. But a similar pattern and narrative were in effect during Cardi’s breakout year in 2017. As Complex recently pointed out, there’s actually a debate over whether the beef between Nicki and Cardi started in March 2017 or June 2017. The mere fact that a debate exists signals that there is interest in said fight. And though there were some perceived slights between Cardi and Nicki in the summer of 2017 — over who Cardi was performing with and whether those people had beef with Nicki — it’s worth noting that Nicki warmly congratulated Cardi that September on her success with “Bodak Yellow”: Congratulations to a fellow NEW YAWKA on a RECORD BREAKING achievement. Bardi, this is the only thing that matters!!! Enjoy it @iamcardib— QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) September 25, 2017 It’s not until November 2017 that we can find the first real hint of blood in the water, with Nicki subtweeting that Cardi was ungrateful after Cardi gave an interview about Nicki and Cardi’s then-recent collaboration with Migos on “MotorSport.” During the interview, Cardi said that when she recorded her verse on “MotorSport,” she had heard Nicki perform a different verse than what ended up on the final track — in effect calling into question a previous account from Nicki about how she had actually approved Cardi’s inclusion on the song. The corniest thing you can be is ungrateful. Give thanks.— QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) November 30, 2017 Then in April 2018, as Nicki released two singles, “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz,” she started to talk about how Cardi had hurt her feelings and damaged her reputation because of what she said in the “MotorSport” interview. In a interview with Beats 1, Nicki said Cardi’s comments had hurt her because they made her look dishonest. “The only thing she kept saying was, ‘I didn’t hear that verse. [Nicki] changed her verse,’” Nicki said. Nicki also went on to say that Cardi had played into the idea of a feud by not speaking up when rumors emerged after the “MotorSport” video was released. Though Nicki and Cardi both appear in the video, they weren’t on the set at the same time, which some fans took to mean that they disliked each other. According to Nicki, the reason they didn’t shoot together was a conflict with her hairstylist’s schedule. Nicki claimed that Cardi never set the record straight in interviews and made it look like they were fighting when they weren’t. The most significant apparent blowup between the two came shortly after Nicki released her latest album, Queen, in August 2018 (more on this in a bit). Nicki and Cardi reportedly got into a fight at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week on September 7, and there were pictures afterward of Cardi sporting a giant knot on her forehead and being escorted out by security. Cardi said that security had hit her, while Nicki maintains it was someone in Nicki’s entourage. Cardi devoted an Instagram post to Nicki on September 8, seemingly to explain why she and Nicki had fought. She called Nicki a “pussy” and accused her of trying to mess with Cardi’s reputation, music career, and income. “I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie to me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, fuck up the way I eat! You’ve threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop fucking with them,” Cardi wrote. She also said that Nicki had finally crossed the line by insulting Cardi’s parenting skills — the latter being one of the reasons she fought with Nicki at the New York Fashion Week party. Almost two months later, Nicki shared her own account of that night. On October 29, she bragged to the audience of Queen Radio that her friend Rah Ali had hit Cardi — so badly that Nicki (sarcastically) felt sorry for her. But not so sorry that she didn’t offer $100,000 to anyone who could provide surveillance video of Cardi’s forehead getting pulped: Rah really, really beat Cardi’s ass bad. Rah beat you so bad that I was mad at Rah. You went home and told people security hit you, and we let that ride for legal reasons. Anybody that wanna pull up the surveillance footage, I will give you $100,000. The minute Rah let your head up, I saw the knot on your head. That account from Nicki, along with Nicki’s denial that she had leaked Cardi’s number to her fans, spurred the eight-minute Instagram diatribe from Cardi where she called out Nicki. “Do you wanna be the victim, or do you wanna be the gangster?” Cardi asked in one of her videos. Cardi’s question is a pertinent one that perhaps unwittingly confirms the female rapper paradigm that Lewis was writing about when he suggested that female rappers have to be willing to fight to be successful. Adopting and embodying one of these narratives — victim or gangster — is part of the formula for success. What’s just as unfortunate as this paradigm, however, is the gnarled picture it paints of those who hang on every new development of Nicki and Cardi’s feud. It’s easy to recognize that whatever they’re fighting about is petty. It’s harder to recognize our own role in the proceedings, and how our interest in whatever feud is in the headlines encourages its participants to fight with each other for our entertainment. Nicki Minaj’s strategy in her feuds has been to weaponize the ugliest aspects of stan culture To fully understand the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B dynamic, you have to understand what mainstream music fandom looks like today. The term that comes to mind is “stan,” a word derived from the 2000 Eminem song of the same name. The song is about a deranged fan, and its title has evolved into a label that describes a celebrity’s most devoted followers. The word can refer to a member of a celebrity’s fervent fandom, like Rihanna’s Navy or Beyoncé’s Beyhive or Nicki’s Barbz (also stylized as Barbs or Barbiez). For example, Beyoncé stans will declare their loyalty to the Beyhive and constantly remind you that your fave could never (do what Beyoncé does onstage). It can also signal derision; for example, many people have condemned the Mac Miller stans who blamed Miller’s ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande for the rapper’s drug abuse and death. Reflexively, saying that you “stan” someone you admire has become a popular mode of self-deprecation and identification. It shows that you acknowledge someone’s greatness, even though their “greatness” is especially subjective. This often comes into play when someone admits they stan celebrities or fictional characters who display abhorrent or petty behavior. omg i’ve finally caught up with ahs and holy fucking SHITalso madison montgomery really is THAT bitch i fucking STAN— ᴋɪᴀʀᴀ | 2 (@alrightkiara) October 4, 2018 For true stans, the objects of their stan affections can do no wrong. True stans are also willing to do whatever they can to ensure their chosen celebrity/actor/musician/artist is seen as the best. For some stans, it’s not just about believing that someone you’re a fan of is superior to all comers; it’s about proving and quantifying that superiority in any way possible, whether it’s in terms of box office earnings and album sales or fan-voted honors like the People’s Choice Awards. A pertinent example: Earlier this year, a number of fervent DC Comics stans fervently demanded that Warner Bros. release Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of Justice League, despite not knowing if such a thing actually existed. Snyder left the movie during its production to deal with a family matter, and director Joss Whedon finished the film, which then received negative reviews. But Snyder’s fans were adamant that a movie he’d had a hand in couldn’t have been bad, so any critical thrashings were the fault of either Whedon or Warner Bros. Nicki has occasionally weaponized this loyalty by courting her fan base, her Barbz, her stans to combat any criticism made against her. In June, for example, a freelance writer named Wanna Thompson criticized Nicki in a (now-deleted) tweet to her then 14,000 or so Twitter followers (Thompson’s follower count is now over 20,000). “You know how dope it would be if Nicki put out mature content?” Thompson wrote. “Just reflecting on past relationships, being a boss, hardships, etc. She’s touching 40 soon, a new direction is needed.” In response, Nicki tweeted a selection of her songs; the implication was that Nicki viewed them as examples of “mature” work, and that she was responding to Thompson, even though her tweet didn’t directly reference Thompson or Thompson’s comment. Pills n POTIONS. Bed of Lies. I’m gettin ready. Nobody. Save me. Autobiography. The Crying game. I lied. All things go. Buy a heart. GRAND Piano.— QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) June 30, 2018 But later, Nicki (or someone with access to Nicki’s account) sent Thompson a direct message insulting her. Thompson published the comments. Nicki Minaj exhibited #Queen behaviour when she hopped in my DMs and insulted me numerous times over an innocent music opinion while her fans continue to harass me and DM me death threats. This is NOT okay. Chocolate Drop’s Mama (@WannasWorld) July 1, 2018 And the New York Times reported that after Thompson made the response public, Nicki’s Barbz began a relentless assault on her various social media pages and phone lines: In the week since publicizing the acidic messages she received directly from Ms. Minaj, whose next album, “Queen,” is scheduled for release in August, Ms. Thompson said she has received thousands of vicious, derogatory missives across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, email and even her personal cellphone, calling her every variation of stupid and ugly, or worse. Some of the anonymous horde included pictures Ms. Thompson once posted on Instagram of her 4-year-old daughter, while others told her to kill herself. A similar incident occurred during the promotional period around the release of Nicki’s most recent album, Queen, in August. To promote the album, Nicki debuted Queen Radio on Beats 1, using the show to share her thoughts about the album, the music industry, and whatever else crossed her mind. When Queen didn’t debut as the No. 1 album in America during its release week, she spent an episode of Queen Radio making some NSFW declarations about Travis Scott, the artist who had edged her out for the top spot, and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. She named Scott the “Ho N*gga of the Week” and accused him of bundling tour tickets with his new album to inflate his sales numbers and bump Queen down to No. 2. Nicki also accused Scott of asking Jenner to mobilize her massive social media following to get people to buy his tour tickets and album: When [Scott] realized that Queen was about to [be] the Number One album in America, he and his label decided to have Kylie and baby Stormi put up a tour pass. … He had her post and say, ‘Hey, me and Stormi can’t wait to see y’all.’ How are you selling something that does not have anything to do with your album but it is being counted on Billboard as album sales?” To some extent, with Scott and Cardi, Nicki’s actions qualify as playing the game and creating entertainment. But with Thompson, Nicki was punching down and encouraging her fans to attack a critic who didn’t have anywhere near the clout or resources that Nicki has. Regardless, because Nicki’s stans are so devoted, whenever Nicki attacks someone — no matter who it is — she’s simultaneously reenergizing her fan base and asserting that she’s the fighter they believe her to be. And they respond by brigading the message that she’s the undisputed best. It’s like shaking a tree, except instead of leaves, you get adoration. While Queen didn’t become the No. 1 album in America upon its release, Nicki’s attack on Travis Scott most likely resulted in more streams and more purchases from her stans. Before that, in responding to Thompson, Nicki showed that she will never back down to criticism, no matter who is saying it. And now, even though Nicki insists that she did not leak Cardi’s number, Cardi has said that she received death threats from Nicki’s fans. But, ridiculous though it may sound, such threats are the natural outgrowth of the way Nicki operates. In continuing to fight (or “fight”) with Cardi for the past year, even as both she and Cardi have frequently said there’s no beef between them, Nicki has been gesturing that the rap crown is still hers to bear. And her loyal fans have internalized that message and amplified it. Why Nicki Minaj is in a no-win situation To judge who “won” Nicki and Cardi’s latest spat is to look at who’s dominated the conversation that has surrounded it. Cardi’s 10-chapter Instagram novela is the thing people can’t seem to stop talking about. “Nicki is more popular (based on Instagram followers) and more powerful (at least by tenure), but if you’re lured onto unfamiliar ground, you run the risk of being beaten with experience,” The Ringer’s Micah Peters wrote. “As evidenced by the hastily uploaded selfie videos, each a haymaker in its own right, social media is Cardi’s battlefield. She was born in it, molded by it.” While Nicki is extremely aware of how powerful fandom can be, Cardi is perhaps even more so. Her fame is the product of virality and Instagram audacity: She is an artist who used Instagram to land a spot on a reality television show and then to launch a music career — there was one point where she had 10 million Instagram followers without even releasing an album. It seems Nicki may have realized that in this case, weaponizing her fans won’t be enough to take the upper hand away from Cardi, who intuitively understands how to use social media to sway public opinion in her favor. After Cardi posted her Instagram diatribes, Nicki tweeted a plea for a truce — which Cardi then appeared to accept by amplifying it on her own Instagram: There’s something somber about Nicki’s tweet, in that it seems to reveal her frustration with that irksome “one female rapper” concept. “I know this stuff is entertaining & funny to a lot of people but I won’t be discussing this nonsense anymore,” she writes, as if she understands that to “win” her fight with Cardi would mean getting messier, more candid, more raw. She appears to be nodding to the idea that conflict between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B is what fans want, and not how Nicki actually feels. Mainstream hip-hop fans, stans, the music industry, and the media have rewarded a Nicki Minaj who reinforces the paradigm that there can only be one dominant female rapper at any given moment, and that she must be perpetually aggressive and combative about her place in the industry hierarchy. We can’t be surprised by Nicki wanting to be that rapper, or leaning into that image to achieve success. What’s more difficult is answering the question of why we find it so entertaining when Nicki Minaj, or Cardi B, or any other female rapper acts in this way. The “one female rapper” idea ensures that no matter how hard Nicki or Cardi or any other female rapper has worked or how successful she’s become, she will constantly be doubted, because her success can only exist until someone better comes along to challenge it. So she must be grateful for that success — and to show her gratitude, she must defend it at all costs. As fans, we could easily stop this cycle. Nicki’s plea to focus on the positive feels like the closest she can come to saying that the way female rappers are encouraged to behave is cripplingly frustrating. But the ghoulish way so many of us clearly cherish feuds and fighting, and love to demand that our idols prove they are the unrivaled best, suggests there’s no end in sight.

On July 11, artist Cardi B and husband Offset, part of the hip-hop trio Migos, publicly welcomed their first child together, daughter Kulture Kiara Cephus. News of the Bronx rapper’s delivery, which actually occurred the day before, spread fast; in just 12 hours it racked up nearly 6 million likes on Instagram and trended on Twitter for hours. As far as major releases go, it was yet another success for the stripper-turned-social media personality-turned-reality star-turned-rapper-turned-national days like these are becoming the norm for the 25-year-old star. Consider this: Within a 10-day span this month, Cardi B (real name: Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar) scored her second Hot 100 chart-topping hit (becoming the first female rapper to achieve the feat) while on the internet, a baby picture of her sparked the incredibly viral “My Momma Said” and personally, it’s good to be Cardi B right feels especially true when compared to Nicki Minaj. The burgeoning rivalry between the two women, whether real or exaggerated, has consumed the music community for weeks. Although Cardi B’s single “I Like It” may be flooding the airwaves right now, Minaj has been hip-hop’s leading lady for the better part of the past decade. The veteran rapper is also currently promoting her upcoming album, “Queen,” which is set to be released on Aug. 10. The title is revealing — expectations for the album are sky-high. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, new singles, “Chun-Li” and “Barbi Tingz,” trended on impact in early April but both plateaued early, resulting in only tepid success beyond digital platforms. (To be fair, “Chun-Li” was a Top 10 hit but lacked the long-tail ubiquity of her past bangers; her latest single from “Queen,” the Ariana Grande-assisted “Bed,” is still bubbling but has yet to break through on the charts). Meanwhile, a recent scandal involving Minaj and a critic has attracted more bad publicity for the rapper. (In response to a blogger’s tweet that Minaj should seek out more mature subject matter, the artist sent the woman angry and obscene private messages. When those DMs become public, Minaj’s virulent fan community of “Barbz” attacked the blogger online, and she ultimately lost her job.)So why exactly have things been so hard for Nicki and so seemingly gilded for Cardi?There’s something particularly frustrating about the current attempt to pit these two talented women against each the comparison may seem obvious, it’s actually an unfair one. This country loves binaries, whether it’s in politics (Democrats or Republicans), sports (LeBron or Kobe) or entertainment (Kim Cattrall or Sarah Jessica Parker). Forget shades of grey, a color neither Minaj or Cardi would be caught dead in anyway. But there’s something particularly frustrating about the current attempt to pit these two talented women against each there hasn’t been the fan (or critical) bandwidth to accept multiple female lyricists at one time. As much as we compare Drake with Kendrick Lamar, plenty of other male artists, including J. Cole, Nipsey Hussle, Kanye West and Pusha T, among others, have all enjoyed their own time in the sun this year. For men in hip-hop, it seems there is plenty of room and critical attention to go be clear, there’s many talented women in hip-hop right now: Minaj, Cardi, Rapsody, Stefflon Don, Saweetie, Rico Nasty, etc. — they just aren't getting equal attention. And those who do break through are to often treated as rivals from the jump. Indeed, the Minaj-Cardi narrative has gotten so intense that fans now pick through their lyrics looking for subliminal disses, even after both have issued denials and even praise for each other. Add in the peanut gallery of social media and the rise of urban gossip blogs, and the shade feels though, there was ever a moment to pinpoint when the dueling narratives of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj were solidified, it was after the pair’s only music collaboration. As featured artists on Migos’ track “MotorSport,” the two supernovas finally collided for the first time in both the song and music video. The collaboration wasn’t supposed to be a confrontation, although many people read it that way anyway — sparking a whole new wave of speculation about the pair’s relationship. It was a monumental moment, to say the boisterous verse bolstered her momentum as she headed toward her debut LP. It positioned her, at least for the song’s five minutes, as an equal to the queen. Minaj, meanwhile, solidified her reputation as a song-stealing superstar. What could have been a win-win for both, however, quickly turned into controversy and confusion in the aftermath of the single’s release. Were they purposefully dissing each other? Had they seen each other's verses beforehand? Was this an indication of bad blood or was it all just a misunderstanding?Cardi was candid. Minaj was was, in some respects, a snapshot of the pair’s fundamental personality differences. Whereas Cardi wears honesty well and oozes charm, Minaj can come across as petty when she engages in fights that feel unbecoming, especially considering her stature. In this case, Minaj ended up looking like the more accomplished rapper, perhaps, but one visibly uncomfortable with the thought of another planet entering her previously empty solar Cardi wears honesty well and oozes charm, Minaj can come across as petty when she engages in fights that feel two have patched things up, by all accounts. However in the wake of the kerfuffle, their paths has capitalized on the narrative of the new, rising underdog, championed in countless profiles for her scrappy personality and screwball seduction. Her success is still shiny and increased scrutiny hasn’t led to much meaningful backlash, despite her omnipresence and periodic lack of a filter. And to be clear, Cardi has taken advantage of every opportunity afforded her, displaying a talent for getting along with pretty much anyone. Just ask John Mulaney. It helps that her debut project, “Invasion of Privacy,” is legitimately among the year’s Minaj has had an uneven couple of years. After three multi-platinum albums and seven consecutive wins at the BET Awards for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Minaj took a break at the end of 2017. The sabbatical came in the aftermath of her high-profile break-up with the pugnacious Meek Mill, which followed the implosion of her relationship with her former hype man, Safari. (She rapped about the latter split on 2014’s “Pinkprint.”)Just in time for Cardi B’s ascendance, Minaj is back, with mounting expectations. Some of these are warranted — Minaj is an institution unto herself and has for many years doubled as the primary foundation for women’s hip-hop. She’s also judicious with her appearances. She doesn’t need to court the media because the media already scrutinizes her every move. But this scarcity also benefits Cardi B, who has moved into the vacuum left by Minaj’s relative it’s always harder for the person already at the top than the one still climbing the mountain. The criticism can be cutting. The judgment unforgiving. But remember this: Without Nicki Minaj, Cardi B likely wouldn’t be able to flow so effortlessly between her colorful personas: one minute raunchy and the next charmingly proper. And without Cardi B, Nicki Minaj would have no one to compete against but herself, forever haunted and restricted by her past body of now, Minaj's Aug. 10 album release looms large.

Cardi B’s long-simmering feud with frenemy Nicki Minaj erupted once again on Monday (Oct. 29). Minaj hosted her tenth episode of Queen Radio, where she dished on the infamous Harper’s Bazaar Icons party altercation at New York Fashion Week last month, Cardi’s hopes to have her on “Bartier Carti,” and much more — even allegedly leaking the Bronx rapper’s phone number to have fans harass her. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Cardi didn’t waste much time in escalating the feud, punching back with a series of fiery selfie videos and receipts posted to Instagram, meticulously breaking down each of the claims made hours prior by Minaj, and even coining the term “footages.” After more subliminal back-and-forth, the pair of rap heavyweights finally agreed to peacefully move past their beef and lead with love for the time being. The feud between Nicki and Cardi has been boiling for over a year now, since Bardi’s meteoric rise placed her beside Minaj on the rap totem pole. There’s also been ton of moving parts here, with various players chiming in after hearing their name thrown into the mix, which has caused the entertaining dispute to continue to spread much like a California wildfire. Here is everyone that has become swept up in the Cardi B versus Nicki Minaj clash, and their role in the matter, explained in further detail. Nicki Minaj It was another jampacked episode of Queen Radio, with Nicki not holding anything back in lambasting her hip-hop compatriot Cardi B. She cleared up any confusion regarding the NYFW Harper’s Bazaar event, claiming that her close friend Rah Ali actually connected on a few shots toward Bardi, rather than her security team, leaving Cardi with a pretty substantial welt on her forehead. “Rah really, really beat Cardi’s ass bad. Rah beat you so bad that I was mad at Rah. You went home and told people security hit you, and we let that ride for legal reasons,” Nicki said. “Anybody that wanna pull up the surveillance footage, I will give you $100,000.” The Queens native then denied ever leaking the 26-year-old’s phone number to fans, and later touched on the fact Cardi B wanted to have her assist on “Bartier Carti,” but said she refused to do so since they were about to team up on the Migos‘ “Motorsport.” “What type of bird shit you on, bitch? I didn’t leak your number,” Minaj emphatically stated on Queen Radio. “Stop lying on me. You stopped 21 Savage from being on two songs with me because he was featured on your single,” she continued. “You wanted me on your second single.” — QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) October 31, 2018 Cardi B Just last week (Oct. 25), the Atlantic Records signee shaded the Barbz, claiming they were at fault for spreading the leaked version of her fresh “Money” single. “We tried to retract it, but you know the Barbz — they always posting me, they always post everything I do,” she told Ebro Darden of Beats 1. Cardi clearly reached her boiling point when it came to Minaj repeatedly speaking on her name throughout her Monday (Oct. 29) radio show. Kulture’s mother lashed out and shredded Nicki via several Instagram videos, while defending herself amid the controversy. “How you say when I was the wild animal, that I attacked you, that you was mortified, that you was humiliated, playing the victim and now you’re the gangster,” she began. “You need to pick a side — do you want to be the victim or do you want to be the gangster? You lie so much you can’t even keep up with you’re fucking lies… I know what there’s footage of you standing on the wall, talking about, ‘I’m standing right here,’ Miss Chun-Li the street fighter. Get the fuck out of here.” The “I Like It” rapper attempted to one-up Minaj by proving she was being offered to hop on certain tracks and endorsement deals even prior to artists and brands eventually moving on to Nicki. Cardi capped everything off by saying Minaj can’t even keep up with her own lies, and that she needs to stop worrying about others because she’s in the midst of wrecking her own decorated legacy as an all-time MC. “What you need to do is stop focusing on other people, focus on yourself and focus on your craft, because you’re out here fucking up your legacy looking like a fucking hater,” Cardi concluded. Hennessy Carolina Affiliation: Cardi B’s younger sister. It’s always a positive when you have family in your corner, and nobody goes harder to protect her own than Cardi’s 22-year-old sister, publicly known as Hennessy Carolina. Earlier this week (Oct. 27), Carolina clashed with Minaj’s Barbz fanbase, accusing Nicki of leaking her sister’s phone number to a number of Minaj fan pages, in order to have them continually mess with Cardi’s mental state. “Ya asking why I’m beefing with a fan base but ya not asking why someone with so much influence would use their influence to manipulate their fans to spread so much negativity and hate!” she wrote to Instagram. “She leaked my sister’s number to her fan pages the same shit she did to Mariah Lynn. It’s easy for y’all to ask me why I’m bothered, why I care so much. But not one of you is waking up to death threats every day, made up stories that can effect my real life and real relationships. Imagine if this was your infant child, imagine if this was your sister or ya mother.” The 22-year-old followed-up to continue her war of words with Minaj ally Rah Ali, after she warned the Barbz to not comment on her page if they can’t deal with the consequences when she responds. “I ain’t scared of you water buffalo built ass bitches, save that bully shit for IG and pop the fuck out in real life,” Hennessy captioned. #hennessycarolina admits that #nickiminaj allegedly leaked #cardib phone number. — DJ Louie Styles TV (@DJLouieStylesTV) October 28, 2018 Rah Ali Affiliation: Nicki Minaj’s close friend. Within the last year, Nicki Minaj and Rah Ali have grown closer ever since she notched an appearance in Minaj’s “No Frauds” visual to publicize their blossoming relationship. The brash television personality is definitely someone you’d want to have on your side in case anything ever turned physical. Contrary to original reports of security being at fault for the lump left on Cardi’s head following the Harper’s Bazaar party, the Queen artist explained that it was actually Ali’s doing. Ali has since doubled down on her rivalry with Cardi’s sister Hennessy Carolina. Days ago, she popped up in Carolina’s comments to warn her that a fight would ensue on sight between the two if they ever crossed paths again. “Keep playing with me you dumb bitch and I’ma RAG YOU like I did your sister,” Rah proclaimed. “You seen ya big sis when she got home. You know what’s up. You next.” Steve Madden Affiliation: Nicki Minaj claimed to have turned down a potential collaboration. Steve Madden’s name got dragged through the mud after Minaj tweeted that she declined a potential collaboration with the shoe brand. Back in 2015, Madden confessed in a VIBE Magazine interview that he got into a verbal fight with Nicki within the first few minutes of them actually meeting. After patching up their relationship, the fashion designer did admit that he regretted choosing to partner with Iggy Azalea rather than Nicki. Minaj recalled turning down the opportunity to work with Steve Madden in a tweet Monday night (Oct. 29). “Same thing with Steve Madden. Irv Gotti asked me to do that deal several times. I passed. You never hear me talking bout things like this. She really thought she was doing something talking about turning down deals,” the 35-year-old wrote. The official Steve Madden Twitter account got wind of Nicki’s comments and swiftly clapped back at Minaj’s claims, saying there was never such an offer extended from their end. “@NICKIMINAJ you can’t turn down an offer that was never made. #StopLying,” the company wrote. Fellow Queens rapper 50 Cent reposted Madden’s confusing comments from his interview with VIBE Magazine, prompting a response from Onika. “This hoe ass n—-a came to my house in Malibu with Irv Gotti begging me to do the deal! My manager Gee Roberson was there. Can’t believe grown ass men getting on the internet lying like hoes,” the Young Money artist commented on the post. Madden himself released an official statement from the company Twitter early Wednesday (Oct. 31) apologizing for his actions pitting the artists against each other. It’s safe to say Nicki would not be accepting his mea culpa. .@NICKIMINAJ is an incredibly talented artist but we couldn’t work together cuz the timing wasn’t right. @iamcardib came on the scene and I had a fantastic collaboration with her, and she is also an amazing talent. I love… — STEVE MADDEN (@SteveMadden) October 31, 2018 Eat a dick nigga. You lied on me cuz it was the trendy thing 2do! Ain’t nobody buyin that clown shit.

Part of Nicki Minaj’s riveting allegations from episode 10 of Queen Radio included her accusing Cardi B of not allowing 21 Savage to appear on a pair of records with her since the two linked up for “Bartier Cardi.” One of the records the 35-year-old looks to be referencing is “Krippy Kush,” which saw Travis Scott assist on the remix rather than 21. The track’s producer, Rvssian, came to Cardi’s defense by confirming that the only reason the Atlanta native didn’t make the record was because of a scheduling conflict. “21 Savage was replaced by Travis Scott because 21 has an issue with his kid and couldn’t make Krippy kush video… not because of anything else,” the dancehall producer direct messaged Cardi. He later addressed the matter publicly on Twitter. “I’m not going to agree with something that wasn’t done involving my song. Its a simple fact. Truth is the truth,” he wrote. I’m not going to agree with something that wasn’t done involving my song. Its a simple fact. Truth is the truth… — Rvssian (@Rvssian) October 29, 2018 Little Mix Affiliation: Featured Nicki Minaj on their recent single “Woman Like Me.” Earlier in the month (Oct. 12), British girl group Little Mix released their highly anticipated “Woman Like Me” collaboration featuring Nicki Minaj. Cardi B addressed the record during the eighth video of her Instagram series Monday night (Oct. 29), declaring that the group in fact approached her to get on the track before Nicki. “I had to decline it because I’m doing a lot of pop records, so I can’t, you know, oversaturate myself. But that came to me first, and then they give it to you,” Cardi said. Little Mix released an official statement refuting Cardi’s claims Tuesday morning (Oct. 30), saying that Minaj was offered the record first, as they had always dreamed of working alongside the “Super Bass” artist. “We love and respect both Nicki and Cardi B. Both were approached by our label to work with us on Woman Like Me, Nicki then Cardi. We went with Nicki because like we’ve said over and over for years, it’s been a dream of ours to work with her since the beginning. We have nothing but love and positivity for both Nicki and Cardi,” the foursome wrote to the group’s Twitter account. ?? — Little Mix (@LittleMix) October 30, 2018 Wilhelmina Models CEO Bill Wackermann Affiliation: Signed Nicki Minaj to a deal with his modeling agency. In the midst of Cardi’s exhausting rant, she quipped about how her turning down branding opportunities has allowed Nicki Minaj’s business to thrive. “That Diesel deal that you got? Yeah, that came to me first. And I had to decline it because I’m already working with fashion brands,” the “Money” rapper explained. Wilhelmina CEO Bill Wackermann weighed in on Cardi’s statements with an Instagram post of his own, referencing Minaj as the one and only queen. “Tell the truth Boo! That diesel deal was built AROUND the one and only Queen. #truthwillsetyoufree @nickiminaj @iamcardib – I’ve got the receipts,” Wackermann wrote to refute the Bronx native’s original claims regarding Nicki’s involvement with Diesel’s anti-bullying, Haute Couture campaign. Cardi B pulled up some old emails from Diesel in a since-deleted post featuring a preliminary business proposal for a possible partnership starting in Jan. 2019, where she would be offered the opportunity to create her very own capsule collection with the brand. She ultimately declined the contract. Cardi B posts receipts after the CEO of Wilhelmina Bill Wackerman said she was a liar for saying she turned down the Diesel deal and it was built around Nicki Minaj — BallerAlert (@balleralert) October 30, 2018 Lil Yachty Affiliation: Cardi B’s labelmate at Quality Control. Lil Yachty was doing some harmless press in promotion of his recently released Nuthin’ 2 Prove album, when he was forced to pick a side between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj during an appearance on BET’s Raq Rants. With Cardi being engaged to Offset and signed to Quality Control, Yachty declared allegiance to his “Who Want the Smoke” collaborator and the QC family. As much as he’d want to work with Nicki, Yachty shared that he just couldn’t at the moment, since it would qualify as a conflict of interest. “Cardi show me too much love 4 me be in the dark about who I side with. I fuck [with] Nicki doe been did since elementary school. They just twisted my words,” he wrote in response to a fan berating him on Twitter. —-‍?? cardi show me too much love 4 me be in the dark about who I side w/. I fuck w nicki doe been did since elementary school.. they just twisted my words — Underdog (@lilyachty) October 30, 2018 Iggy Azalea Affiliation: Backed up Nicki Minaj’s claims regarding her Steve Madden deal. Less than 24 hours after saying she would be staying out of the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj feud, Iggy Azalea provided some back up for Nicki in relation to her striking accusations about Steve Madden’s business malpractice. She then took aim at Madden as well for not holding up his end of their partnership. “Steve is a fuck boy. He did some sidebar shit when my deal said I had full creative control, couldn’t handle being called out on it and then tried to publicly backtrack. Boy bye,” Iggy wrote in a since-deleted tweet Tuesday night (Oct. 30). .@IGGYAZALEA backs Nicki Minaj up against Steve Madden: “This is facts” — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) October 31, 2018 Steven Madden is nothing but a biooootchhhhh!!! — strika strika (@theprivatebarb) October 31, 2018
