Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have rekindled their feud on Twitter. The two have had a tumultuous past filled with online arguments, inflammatory public words, and even a small brawl. Does anyone remember Cardi B’s iconic shoe moment, circa 2018, when she launched a heel at Nicki’s head?
That, however, was a different time when the media and the public couldn’t believe hip hop had space for two incredibly talented female rappers. Times have changed. Their mutual feelings of dislike, however, seem to have remained.
This time, the argument did not start between the two famous rappers; it began with Cardi B and JT instead. What began as a private conversation inside of Instagram’s DMs became public after Cardi B tweeted “Lapdog” and “Go Fetch.” Quickly afterward, JT responded by saying, “Cardi, you go fetch a real talent! We DMing why you come back here to put on a show for these KIDS?”
To all of twitter’s delight, the two continued to tweet back and forth, comparing stats and the performance of recent singles, most notably the poor performance of Cardi B’s new song “Hot Sh-.”
Nicki Minaj dragged herself into the argument by posting a clip of JT rapping her verse on Nicki’s new number one hit single, “Super Freaky Girl.” Then, fans noticed when Nicki Minaj changed her Instagram profile to a photo of JT. In response, Cardi B changed her profile picture to Remy Ma, another rapper who has publicized her beef with Nicki Minaj.
