Cardi B's Feud with Nicki Minaj

About

The feud between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj is one of the most notable celebrity conflicts in recent years. It began gaining momentum in 2017 with the release of Cardi B's hit single "Bodak Yellow," which became the first song by a solo female rapper to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998. This achievement was seen as a challenge to Nicki Minaj's dominance in the rap industry, sparking tension between their fans. The conflict escalated in October 2017 with the release of Migos' "Motorsport," featuring both rappers. Behind-the-scenes drama and allegations of changed verses fueled the fire. The feud culminated in a physical altercation at a New York Fashion Week party in September 2018, where Cardi B threw a shoe at Nicki Minaj. Since then, the tension has continued, with both artists occasionally addressing the feud in interviews and on social media. Despite recent appearances at the same events, such as the 2023 MTV VMAs, the rivalry remains a significant part of their public personas.
