Cardi B, Nicki Minaj trade barbs in another explosive social media war: ‘Missed me?’
They are the drama.
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj went head to head via X on Monday in the latest installment of their years-long feud.
The social media war began when Minaj, 42, tweeted — and deleted “$4.99,” the promotional price of Cardi’s “Am I the Drama?” album.
The Grammy nominee went on to call her fellow rapper, 32, “Barney Dangerous” before tweaking Cardi’s “Magnet” lyrics in an apparent diss.
“Abcdefgeeeeeeee,” Minaj tweeted. “SUR GER REE TO LOOK LIKE MEEEEEE / tell the rat & tell J ZEEEEEE / Rico Fraud & PERJURY.
“Abcdefgeeeeeeee / Fallin off the charts wit a big bellyyyy,” she continued, referencing Cardi’s pregnancy. “RUNNING TRAINS / Barefoot, still smellyyyyy / Still. You. Could. Not. outsell. meeeeee.”
She shared an AI-generated image of Cardi as Barney and slammed the Grammy winner as someone who “raps like” the purple dinosaur and is “still UGLEEEE.”
Cardi was “baking ribs and making blondie brownies” when Minaj began “bothering [her] on a damn Monday.”
The “Love & Hip Hop: New York” alum clapped back at “Cocaine Barbie,” dissing Minaj’s incarcerated brother, Jelani Maraj, in her own altered “Magnet” lyrics over his 2017 child rape conviction.
Additionally, Cardi pointed out that Minaj’s criticism of her album sales is “not the gag that [she] think[s] it is.”
The songwriter explained, “You been in the game like 16 years. You need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around YOUR time. Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Drake.
“Those are the numbers you need to be competing wit and you can’t cuz you doing lower than all of them,” she added. “I was in high school when you came out wtf is you comparing yourself to me for???”
As for the comments regarding her pregnancy, Cardi wrote, “Like you wasn’t going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs scrambling your eggs. NOT ALLEGEDLY. Lord protect my babies.”
She claimed that “nothing is more annoying than a bored bitch” and concluded, “You must have missed me, huh crazy?? Now kiss my feet.”
Ice Spice made it clear she was enjoying the explosive exchange by tweeting a laughing emoji with a hand covering its mouth.
Reps for Cardi and Minaj did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The beef goes back years, with Cardi infamously throwing a shoe at her nemesis at a 2018 Milan Fashion Week party.
Earlier this year, Minaj battled it out online with SZA — and Cardi did not step into the fray at the time.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper is currently expecting baby No. 4, her first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, while navigating her divorce from on-again, off-again husband Offset.
