Cardi B to Nicki Minaj: ‘You don’t have no friends, no family, just that man in your house’

There’s been some bizarre pearl-clutching over Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s online “feud” this week. I don’t understand that at all – these are not politicians or church elders. They are both rap superstars and this is part of rap culture. That being said, I’m still of the opinion that Nicki Minaj completely lost her mind simply because Cardi has a new album, an album which is already selling well, and an album full of songs which are already on the charts. Nicki is literally seething with jealousy and this is how she has historically operated when she’s jealous of another artist. And Cardi decided that she absolutely had time this week to respond to Nicki’s bullsh-t. After all of the tweets back-and-forth on Monday and Tuesday, Nicki and Cardi once again started up again on Wednesday. Mid-day, so at least all of us East Coasters really got to enjoy it in real time. The things Cardi and Nicki are saying to each other about each other’s children… well, as I said yesterday, it makes Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef look quaint.

I’m only going to embed a few of Cardi’s tweets, but I’d like to point out a few things – Cardi has repeatedly asked Nicki to take this offline and handle this in person. Cardi is fully prepared to get in a room with Nicki and either talk it out or beat the sh-t out of her. Nicki refuses. Cardi also posted two separate messages in an attempt to just be done with Minaj. The first message:

Dear Onika Tanya Maraj,

This my last time responding to you because this past Twitter now.. I gotta see you… but first ima tell you truth.. You said out your own mouth that the lil girl in you haven’t forgave your mother yet and that’s because your mom used to stay silent when your dad used to touch on you everytime he did that crack pipe…

I know you experienced a lot of trauma and abuse but drugs is not gonna help you.. you need to go to therapy NOW… ima let you know this today.. your husband is not stoppin you from your actions because he lets you do drugs all day to numb you so he can max out your credit card… yea you think I don’t know??

Them queens nikkas that you be letting in your house everytime you kick them out be coming and spilling your tea in the hood.. but I’m gonna be the realest person to ever tell you.. YOU NEED TO GET HELP!! You need to heal that trauma.. you always coming at people everytime you see them happy because you got so much trauma and pain that you wanna put on others.. your fans are gonna gas you up while you literally lose your god damn mind…. You don’t have no friends.. no family.. just that man in your house that let you do drugs til you pass out so he can spend your money and buy the hood chains.. I’m not throwing away my career and my endorsements going back and forth with wit words wit a possessed drug addict.. ILL SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU

[From Cardi’s Twitter]

“You don’t have no friends.. no family.. just that man in your house that let you do drugs til you pass out so he can spend your money and buy the hood chains…” This sort of became common knowledge last year, when Minaj tried to drag Megan Thee Stallion, but Minaj ended up looking like a drugged-out lunatic with no one looking out for her. Cardi also tweeted: “Quiet as kept the truth is you BEEN diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar for almost 9 years and you also on heavy drugs COCAINE.. PERCS.. AND XANAX!!! You don’t listen to nobody around you.. the only person that have the power is Kenneth Petty… but you know what happens wit that Amex when you sedated.” Whew.

I’m letting you know again.. stop playing with my kid btch.. you just mad cuz your son fav color is 5.. GET TF ON YOU CRACKHEAD

Cardi B Nicki Minaj

Cardi B & Nicki Minaj’s years-long feud was dramatically reignited this week

Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are in the middle of an exceptionally messy beef yet again. They’ve hated each other for years and years, and Nicki decided to reignite the beef in recent weeks because Cardi is releasing her second album. Cardi was getting so much attention, Cardi’s songs were back on the charts, Cardi is healthy, successful and popular. And Nicki can’t stand that. I think it started last week when Minaj announced out of nowhere that she too had an album coming out… months from now. It was a desperate cry for attention and an attempt to step on Cardi’s album rollout. But in the past 48 hours, Minaj has lost her g–damn mind online, calling Cardi’s oldest daughter a “monkey,” and Cardi clapped back with a sh-tload of tea about Nicki, Nicki’s son and Nicki’s marriage to a convicted rapist.

Nicki Minaj is responding to claims made by Cardi B during their late-night spat on social media. During their dispute on Monday night (Sept. 29), Cardi accused Minaj of “going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs scrambling your eggs.”

Minaj fired back at “Barney B” the following night, denying that she had ever “seen or spoken to a fertility doctor” in her life. “Is I’m the one sleeping with trade while hubby [Offset] f–kin [Saweetie] & taking my big gewy hole for alimony?” she continued, referring to Cardi’s boyfriend Stefon Diggs and allegations that ex Offset and Saweetie had hooked up. “Is I’m going to be sued when the Queen show her medical records to the courts?

Minaj then took aim at Cardi’s personal life and parenting, writing, “Barney B, I know you don’t know this, but SOME women PLAN their pregnancies you dirty HEINEKEN p–sy tw-t. We don’t let n****z fuk us while we pregnant for the next trade who got 4 other ppl pregnant. You see? The devil has come to collect. You sold your soul. You made a pact. But you lost. Now hear this: you have been neutralized in the mighty name of Jesus. Every word you speak on Me or mine will now curse your enablers more than your dizzy brain could ever fathom.”

Cardi responded moments later, writing, “Girl it’s YOUR SON BIRTHDAY why are you on twitter dedicating essays to me??? For the love of god go to chuckie cheese.”

Cardi then pushed back against Minaj’s claim that she experienced seizures as a result of the knot she sustained following their infamous fight at the 2018 2018 fight at Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week. “When have I ever had a seizure??” Cardi wrote. “You the one that went on that award show saying you ain’t want to call 911 after you was shakin from that drug over dose.. talkin bout a knot miss IM STANDING RIGHT HERE.”

“Like damn how you pressed over an album you ain’t got hit in or mentioned in,” Cardi continued, referencing her recently released sophomore album Am I the Drama? “Bitch feelings hurt cause I ain’t paid her no attention!! You haven’t even cut your f–kin kid cake.. my god it’s 6 o clock in LA. You must’ve took your first line of the day.”

In one of her most direct responses of the night, Cardi warned Minaj to stop mentioning her children: “And let me tell you somethin.. let this be the LAST TIME you mention my kids before I spill the tea on yours while you talkin about ABC’s!! You gon leave me TF alone today ho I’m sick of you bitch!!”

She continued, “Wait bring that ass here.. you talkin about my father???.. my father never been to jail a day in his life! Go get a detective and tell them to run them records.. don’t put them dirty ass allegations from your bloodline on mine. Your daddy was a crackhead and your brother was raping his stepchild. You got medical records on me??? Post them bitch!!! You gon leave me TF alone today.”

But that wasn’t all. Nicki hopped back online to write, “Also, I know yall don’t like taking my advice until it’s too late but don’t listen to that music. It has been dipped in evil spirits & their sole purpose is to unleash the spirit of drama in your lives. We rebuke it back to the pits of hell. It shall not stand. Delete it.”

[From Complex]

That “last” message from Minaj was the whole f–king point of this – this is all about Nicki’s jealousy over Cardi’s success, Cardi’s new album, Cardi’s album rollout, Cardi’s songs on the charts. Nicki is begging people to not listen to Cardi. But the rest of it… my god. This actually makes the Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef last year seem quaint. It also reminds me of Minaj’s complete f–king meltdown over Megan Thee Stallion last year. Like… Nicki is just a sad, insecure person.

Girl it’s YOUR SON BIRTHDAY why are you on twitter dedicating essays to me??? For the love of god go to chuckie cheese

— Cardi B (@iamcardib) October 1, 2025

Papa Bear I’m sorry you can’t speak and banging spoons because your mom couldn’t put the drugs down… I’m sorry your mom not even paying attention to you on your own birthday cuz she such a obsessed and dark spirted hating ho.. I’m so sorry

Jay-Z Kendrick Lamar Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is really mad that Jay-Z chose Kendrick Lamar as the Halftime performer

Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar was announced at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime headliner. In the past five years, the NFL has worked with Roc Nation – meaning Jay-Z – to produce the Halftime show. Jay-Z’s record so far is pretty good, emphasizing Black artists and putting together memorable shows (Usher, Rihanna, the showcase of LA artists and Dr. Dre-affiliated artists). Choosing Kendrick was a great choice, given Kendrick’s music, status and cultural dominance. It’s also very obvious that Jay-Z and Beyonce have personal relationships with Kendrick. They like him and respect him – Beyonce adores him and she’s given Kendrick features on several songs. Well, all of this has upset “the other side.” The Drake side, and everyone affiliated with Drake. Meaning, Lil’ Wayne, Birdman and Nicki Minaj. Lil’ Wayne hasn’t said anything, but Minaj and Birdman are apparently mad at Jay-Z for not giving the Halftime gig to Wayne (because he’s from NOLA). In what world would anyone choose Wayne over Kendrick for the Halftime show? Well, Minaj especially has been in full meltdown mode for the past 24 hours.

The people close to Lil Wayne are making it clear they’re not happy with him not being named the Super Bowl LIX halftime show headliner. Nicki Minaj and Birdman both took to X today to air their gripes with the NFL’s (and presumably Jay-Z’s) decision to have Kendrick Lamar headline the February showcase. While they didn’t explicitly name Jay-Z, who has had a hand in producing Super Bowl halftime shows since 2019, it seems pretty apparent what they’re talking about.

Nicki Minaj took to her account to bemoan “Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out.” She also posted “One n-gga took a knee The other n-gga took the bag. He gon get you ‘n–ers’ in line every fkng time.”

Her latter post referred to popular sentiment that Jay-Z’s 2019 partnership with the NFL was in response to former San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick being veritably exiled from the NFL after kneeling during pregame National Anthem performances.

Nicki’s stream of posts included her noting, “I love watching the whole industry play dumb time after time. lol. The truth is the truth no matter who tells it. Picking & choosing who yall accept truth from then BAM! Pow! ???? might tell you a joke but won’t tell you a lie. Bwahahahaaha.”

She also posted “Yall know his next move is going to be to tell yall a “certain someone” is being treated soooooo unfairly so that yall can go back into that trance,” likely referring to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album not being nominated for any 2024 Country Music Awards. Jay-Z spoke up on Beyonce’s behalf during a memorable speech at the 2024 Grammys.

In another post, Nicki noted, “Got everything in the world. Still spiteful & evil. Disgusting. Be happy Abeg. Go be fkng happy n!gg@!!!!!!!! In rap business. In women business. When you got the Politicians & the police you good tho.” And when another X account told her to “sit out” of advocating for Wayne, she posted, “Oh you think speaking up on injustice within your work place should only be done if it’s for a person who would do it for you? Im rlly the realest n!gg@. Wow.”

And this morning, rapper Cam’ron spoke on the selection on his web series It Is What It Is, noting “There’s no reason why Lil Wayne shouldn’t be performing in the Super Bowl,” adding, “It’s not really a secret. Lil Wayne had a problem with somebody before who’s kind of part of the organization running it. This is payback.” He concluded, “Who’s Lil Wayne’s artist? Drake … Lil Wayne not to be performing in New Orleans for the Super Bowl is egregious and it’s gotta stop.”

[From Rolling Stone]

Personally, I think Minaj’s tantrum is less about Wayne and more about how mad she is at Jay-Z and Beyonce. She’s mad at them for being friendly with Megan Thee Stallion, mad at them for choosing Kendrick’s side in the rap battle and mad at them for not protecting her rapist husband Kenneth Petty. As for Jay-Z and Wayne… while they had beef for years, Wayne has spoken openly about how Jay-Z was the one who stepped up and paid off Wayne’s debt and tax bill. Jay and Wayne are actually fine these days. And no one said that Wayne couldn’t or wouldn’t drop in for an appearance alongside Kendrick, although given the tantrums from Drake’s side, I doubt it will happen now.

Arrests Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj was arrested & held for six hours in Amsterdam for carrying drugs

On Saturday, Nicki Minaj was arrested in Amsterdam on suspicion of carrying drugs. She was arrested at the airport, as she was trying to fly from Amsterdam to Manchester for a concert. She filmed/live-streamed and live-tweeted the encounters she had with some of the Dutch police and airport security and honestly, from what I saw, they were trying to be nice to her. But yeah, she was clearly carrying. While many drugs are legal in The Netherlands, you can’t carry drugs on international flights.

Nicki Minaj has been released from police custody in the Netherlands, just hours after the rapper recorded herself being arrested by Dutch officers for allegedly “carrying drugs.”

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, May 25, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee confirmed the release of the rapper.

“We have just released a 41-year-old American woman who we arrested this afternoon at Schiphol on suspicion of exporting soft drugs. After consultation with the Public Prosecution Service, the suspect was fined and can continue her journey,” the statement read, translated from Dutch.

In an Instagram Live video that was posted on X by a Minaj fan account, police officers in Amsterdam could be heard telling Minaj that she was “under arrest” for “carrying drugs,” before asking her to get in a van to go to the police station.

After denying the claims and asking for a lawyer multiple times, Minaj (born Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty) then got into a van at what appeared to be an airport.

Minaj was on her way to Manchester, England, for a show part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour when she filmed the incident.

[From People]

Minaj was apparently held in jail or whatever for about six hours before they released her with a fine. Which honestly sounds like they might have given her preferential treatment? I’m sure she’s not the first American tourist caught with drugs at the airport, and I’m sure those other tourists have dealt with more than a six-hour jail mess and a fine.

Anyway, Minaj ended up making it to Manchester but she canceled her Manchester show, then she performed last night in Birmingham, England. She also posted a statement to her social media, claiming that her security guard was carrying “pre-rolled joints” and they weren’t hers. She also claimed that her lawyers would take care of everything, and that she would reschedule her Manchester show.

Megan Thee Stallion Nicki Minaj

Megan Thee Stallion released ‘Hiss’ & Nicki Minaj proceeded to lose her mind over it

From where I sit, Nicki Minaj has beef with nearly everyone, especially women who have any kind of success. On the other side, Megan Thee Stallion has been through hell and back over the past five years, losing her mother and grandmother and then getting shot by Tory Lanez in 2020. After the shooting, Tory and the toxic men of the music industry decided to smear Megan for years. Megan was not only the victim of gun violence, she lost many friends and allies after the shooting. That being said, Megan still has friends in high places – Beyonce is firmly on Team Stallion, as is Cardi B and many other high-profile women. Well, on Friday, Megan released a new single called “Hiss,” in which she included ONE LINE which is a reference to Nicki Minaj.

Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj went from “Hot Girl Summer” to hissing back and forth. Megan Thee Stallion released her new single “Hiss” on Friday, which details the three-time Grammy Award winner’s trials and triumphs throughout the past few years.

Though the rapper has topped the charts with buzzy collaborations alongside Cardi B, Beyoncé and more, she’s faced public scrutiny and trauma after fellow rapper Tory Lanez shot the Houston native in July 2020. Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting in August.

In her previous single, “Cobra,” about life post-shooting, Megan Thee Stallion opens up about her mental health struggles, rapping, “I’m sittin’ in a dark room thinking, probably why I always end up drinking; (Yes), I’m very depressed.” In her first song of the year “Hiss,” she raps that people “don’t be mad at Megan,” but that they’re “mad at Megan’s Law.” The bars are an apparent reference to Minaj, who is married to registered sex offender Kenneth Petty.

Megan’s Law is a federal law that requires registered sex offenders to provide their personal information to local law enforcement agencies. Petty was sentenced to probation and house arrest for failing to register as a sex offender in California.

In response to the “Savage” rapper’s shade, Minaj took to Instagram Live shortly after “Hiss” was released to preview a song of her own.

“She like 6 foot, I call her big foot,” Minaj raps, before saying someone “fell off, I said get up on your good foot.” The verse is an alleged reference to the 2020 shooting; Lanez was accused of shooting Megan in her feet.

“You have three Grammys and you have to learn how to rap on the beat and being comfortable in the music,” Minaj said before mocking Megan Thee Stallion’s rap flow. Minaj also liked several tweets from users that were aimed at her former collaborator. Megan Thee Stallion responded with an Instagram story where she was doubled over with her left hand covering her mouth, seemingly laughing at Minaj’s response to “Hiss.”

[From USA Today]

I’m using USA Today’s reporting because they did a good job with the bare-bones timeline of it all. What they aren’t covering is the fact that Nicki was on Instagram Live most of the weekend, ranting to her Barbz and sounding increasingly detached from reality. USA Today also skips the part of Minaj’s “Big Foot” where she criticized Megan because her mother died. And… like, don’t skip over the fact that Megan was like “you’re married to a convicted sexual predator” and Nicki was like “YOU HAVE BIG FEET!” Childish doesn’t even cover it.

Now that Minaj has dropped the track, people are laughing at her because it basically just sounds like a drugged-out rant (much like Nicki’s IG Live this weekend).

to save you a stream: it’s a coke rant set to music where she quotes tweets with a bridge where she repeats “lyin on your dead mama” over and over and then there’s like, a spoken word part at the end where she sounds like she is off a perc insane

Jennifer Hough Kenneth Petty Nicki Minaj

Jennifer Hough spoke out about Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty’s harassment

Questioned for his connection with Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew

Weeks before Nicki Minaj went full-tilt anti-vaxx, she and her rapist husband Kenneth Petty were sued by a woman named Jennifer Hough. Petty raped Hough when they were both teenagers, and Petty was charged with a felony, and he ended up taking a plea deal. Which makes him a convicted rapist, regardless of whether or not he allocuted to the crime. Soon after Petty and Minaj got together, they began a public and private campaign of harassment and intimidation against Hough. They wanted her to recant, they offered to pay her, they followed her and her daughter around, they sent people to threaten Hough and her family. Minaj also lied about Hough publicly and repeatedly in interviews and on social media. So Hough sued them both and I think she has an excellent case against them. Not only that, I believe a good criminal case could be brought against Minaj and Petty. But for now, the civil suit will do.

Soon after Hough filed her lawsuit, she gave her first interview to the Daily Beast. It was heartbreaking, as she detailed the timeline and extent of the harassment and intimidation. Now Hough has given her first interview – she spoke to The Real yesterday. Here’s the full interview, broken up in three videos:

Hough is credible. Hough must be protected from Minaj, Petty and their goons. Not only that, Hough absolutely has a solid case. Nicki Minaj needs to lose all of her Barbz. This isn’t funny or cute. It never was. Nicki Minaj married a convicted rapist and she and her husband waged an unhinged campaign against the woman he brutally assaulted.

Nicki Minaj doxxed two reporters over vaccines & weaponized her Barbz

Nicki Minaj rocks an Alexandre Vauthier gown at the Harper's BAZAAR Celebration of 'ICONS By Carine Roitfeld'

How did we get here with Nicki Minaj? Some believe that Nicki is doing all of this anti-vaxxer crap as an obvious deflection from her husband Kenneth Petty taking a plea deal for failing to register as a sex offender, not to mention a deflection from the massive civil suit against both Minaj and Petty for targeted harassment of the woman he raped. I do think all of Minaj’s crap in the past week probably started out as deflection, but it’s taken over as its own terrible thing.

To recap, Minaj is unvaccinated and she lied about her cousin’s friend’s vaccine-induced swoleballs as an excuse for why she was vaccine-hesitant. Instead of apologizing for lying and spreading vaccine misinformation, Nicki has doubled-down to a crazy degree. She’s retweeting white supremacists and being applauded by Candace Owens. She’s claiming she’s being censored (while she’s actively promoting vaccine misinformation). And she’s weaponizing the Barbz to attack her enemies:

Nicki Minaj sicced her fans, the Barbz, on reporters Friday and threatened them herself. The rapper posted the phone numbers of two reporters to her Instagram Story, inviting spam calls and threats. The journalists had been trying to contact her cousin’s friend with the swollen balls, the man she cited in now-infamous tweets as one of the main reasons for her decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Minaj wrote on Instagram, “Sharlene Rampersad BITCH YOUR DAYS ARE F–KING NUMBERED YOU DIRTY HOE.” Minaj posted screenshots of Rampersad reaching out to someone in Minaj’s family on behalf of The Guardian about the pop star’s claims, calling the texts harassment. Minaj ’grammed the business card of a reporter for the Daily Mail as well, James Fielding. Guardian Media Limited released a statement denouncing the “intimidation of journalists” after a CNC3 reporter was “subjected to a range of attacks via social media, including death threats.”

[From The Daily Beast]

Minaj also claimed that she was the one being harassed, and that her family members were being harassed, which… a phone call from a journalist is not harassment. Trinidad’s health minister said they lost hours trying to track down Nicki’s cousin’s friend with swoleballs, only to learn that no such swoleballed person exists. Attempting to doxx journalists for doing their f–king jobs is not productive.

Also not productive? A large group of unhinged Barbz marched on the g–damn Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. They screamed “Nicki told the truth to me! Fauci lied to me!” People keep screaming “I stand with Nicki” on social media too. All of this because Nicki Minaj is a liar and an idiot who married a rapist.

@NICKIMINAJ told the truth to me, Fauci lied to me” Protesters are approaching cars leaving the @CDCgov in ATL.Claiming the CDC is lying about the vaccine& @NICKIMINAJ is telling the truth. More on COVID-19 misinformation & locals protesting the vaccine. @cbs46 pic.twitter.com/6DwNo6ffbn
