Overview

• Cardi B told Paper she “got the most nasty” to protect her children and said the episode showed her strength as a parent.
• The latest flare-up followed claims about Am I the Drama?’s chart performance and since-deleted tweets from Nicki Minaj alleging inflated sales via bundles and discounts.
• Cardi countered on X by urging Minaj to compare numbers with long-running peers like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Drake.
• The back-and-forth crossed into personal territory with references to each other’s children, and the online sparring has since cooled.
• Cardi also targeted BIA on “Pretty & Petty,” later saying she responded because BIA previously name-checked her kids, and she remains pregnant with plans to start the Little Miss Drama Tour in February.
