Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s reheated beef from Monday, September 29 didn’t fizzle out overnight—it exploded into an even nastier showdown on Tuesday, September 30, with both rap stars taking aim at each other’s families in a jaw-dropping exchange that shook social media.
What started as fiery accusations about drug use and lyrical abilities quickly spiraled into deeply personal attacks. Cardi B went after Nicki’s late father and jailed brother, while Nicki retaliated by targeting Cardi’s father.
Things then escalated to the point where their children were cruelly dragged into the feud.
Nicki’s Legal Threats & Shocking Accusations
On the day her son “Papa Bear” turned five, Nicki took a break from birthday celebrations to unleash a lengthy clapback on X (formerly Twitter). She addressed Cardi’s claim that she abused drugs to the point of infertility and even threatened legal action against the Bronx-born star.
Nicki also fired a shot at Cardi’s personal life, suggesting her relationship with NFL player Stefon Diggs was a cover-up and hinting that he is secretly gay.
Cardi Fires Back
Cardi swiftly countered, denying Nicki’s claims that her father is a drug user. She also reminded fans of Nicki’s brother, who is currently serving a prison sentence for sexually assaulting a child.
Children Dragged Into the Feud
The feud reached shocking lows when Nicki insulted Cardi’s daughter Kulture, calling her “ugly,” a “roach,” and a “monkey” alongside her younger sister Blossom. She went as far as suggesting Cardi should abort her unborn child.
Once Cardi saw the remarks, she retaliated by accusing Nicki of using drugs while pregnant with Papa Bear, implying it was the cause of his alleged developmental delays.
The War Isn’t Over
By the end of the night, Cardi—despite being pregnant—signaled she was ready to take the fight beyond words and meet Nicki in person.
The latest round in the Nicki vs. Cardi saga has left fans divided, shocked, and questioning how far the two rap powerhouses are willing to take their bitter rivalry.
