Nicki Minaj’s shady remarks in response to the release of Cardi B’s sophomore studio album reignited their nearly decade-long feud.
The social media spat took the beef to lows that included disparaging remarks on each other’s children. Minaj kicked things off in a series of since-deleted tweets.
Using the flow of “Magnet,” the third track from Cardi’s “Am I the Drama?” that disses rappers JT and Ice Spice, Minaj accuses Cardi of getting plastic surgery to look like the “Super Bass” rapper.
“How you pressed over an album you ain’t got hit in or mentioned in,” Cardi tweeted. “Feelings hurt cause I ain’t paid her no attention!!”
The back-and-forth spiraled after Minaj tweeted, “Kulture vulture you ugly too,” referring to Cardi’s daughter.
Cardi called the cognitive abilities of Minaj’s son into question. She also called Minaj a drug addict and claimed Minaj’s substance abuse stems from childhood trauma. Minaj issued a backhanded apology to Cardi’s daughter. Cardi responded with an open letter to Minaj that urges her to “get help.”
On Oct. 2, Minaj tweeted, “Dear Kulture, truth is: I did all of this for a bigger purpose and one day you’ll understand.”
Minaj’s tweets have since been deleted.
