Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Clash Again in Heated Online Feud

“Cocaine Barbie” remark ignites fresh wave of rivalry between the two rap superstars

The long-standing feud between rap icons Cardi B and Nicki Minaj has resurfaced in explosive fashion, this time over the success of Cardi B’s latest album Am I the Drama?. What began as a celebration of achievement quickly spiraled into a war of words that dominated social media on Monday, September 29, leaving fans and followers divided once again.

Cardi B’s Major Milestone

On the heels of her album’s release, Cardi B proudly announced that Am I the Drama? had earned double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The recognition came just ten days after its release, marking a career milestone. The album also debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 200,000 units in its first week, including 146 million streams. For Cardi B, the accomplishment was a testament to her enduring popularity and ability to command the charts.

Nicki Minaj Fires Back

But the celebration didn’t last long. Nicki Minaj, never one to shy away from competition, took to X (formerly Twitter) to question the legitimacy of the reported sales numbers. In a now-deleted tweet, she mocked Cardi’s success and referred to her as “Barney Dangerous,” poking fun at her pregnancy. This jab struck a nerve and lit the fuse for another round of bitter exchanges between the two.

Cardi B’s Sharp Response

Cardi wasted no time in responding. She fired off a string of tweets, accusing Minaj of obsessing over her career instead of comparing herself to her own peers like Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Drake. “You been in the game like 16 years…you need to compare yourself to YOUR peers,” she wrote, pointing out that Minaj’s current performance fell short of those industry heavyweights. The Bronx rapper made it clear she would not allow Minaj to discredit her achievements.

Personal Attacks Escalate

The dispute quickly turned deeply personal. Cardi B responded to Minaj’s pregnancy jab by accusing her rival of struggling with fertility due to alleged drug use, a claim she made without hesitation: “Like you weren’t going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs…Lord protect my babies.” The comment shocked many fans, adding fuel to an already heated exchange.

Mockery Through Lyrics

Minaj retaliated by mocking Cardi B’s track Magnet. She parodied its simple, playful verse—“A-B-C-D-E-F-G / these b****** can’t f*** with me”by posting mocking rhymes on X. Her tweets included: “Falling off the charts with a big bellyyyy / RUNNING TRAINS” and “Barefoot, still smellyyyyy / Still. You. Could. Not. outsell. meeeeee.” The mocking tone made the feud feel like a lyrical battle fought in public view.

The “Cocaine Barbie” Remark

Not to be outdone, Cardi B hit back with one of the sharpest insults of the night, calling Minaj “Cocaine Barbie.” She followed it up by adding her own parody verses to Magnet, sparking waves of reactions across social media. The phrase quickly trended online, becoming the latest soundbite in their ongoing feud.

A History of Bad Blood

The bad blood between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj is nothing new. Their rivalry stretches back to 2018, when tensions erupted into a physical altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week. The incident allegedly saw Cardi throw her shoe at Minaj, and she later left the event with a visible lump on her forehead. Since then, the two have clashed intermittently, with fans often reigniting debates about who holds the true crown in rap.

The Bigger Picture

While fans revel in the spectacle of their exchanges, critics note that the feud often overshadows the women’s accomplishments in music. Both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are chart-topping, award-winning artists who have shaped the hip-hop industry in profound ways. Yet their refusal to “share the throne” continues to fuel drama, proving that their rivalry is as much a part of their public personas as their music itself.
