Maury Povich Offers to Unretire to Mediate Nicki Minaj–Cardi B and Drake–Kendrick Feuds

The offer leans on his lie-detector TV persona with no confirmation from any of the artists.

Overview

  • Povich floated the idea on Sherri Shepherd’s show, proposing lie detector tests and a primetime special.
  • He suggested Shepherd could host the televised event, reviving elements from his long-running talk show that ended in 2022.
  • Outlets report no sign that Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Drake, or Kendrick Lamar have agreed to participate, and coverage casts the plan as unlikely.
  • The Minaj–Cardi B rivalry stretches back years, including a 2018 New York Fashion Week altercation and renewed 2025 online insults, though recent activity has cooled.
  • Complex noted Povich also targeted the Drake–Kendrick rivalry, which next intersects at the 2026 Grammys in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category.
