50 Cent has spoken out about the beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and says that while he’s close with Nicki… he holds no ill feelings towards her rival.
“When Cardi B came, I thought she was dope. She’s from the bottom. She was in Club Lust in Brooklyn. [Going] from that and actually making a hit record and turning into who she did? I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t like to see that. It felt like she got everything, married, the baby…it came really fast. That’s the American dream right there,” he told Billboard.
50 refused to weigh in on either of the women’s lyrical abilities.
“When her and Nicki clash, I go, ‘Oh, sh-t, it’s going to be interesting to watch how it plays out.’ Lyrically, I won’t say anything competitively about the two of them, but I love Nicki. I don’t have anything against Cardi. I think anyone who comes now, she is going to check their temperature. Nicki is going to check if this bitch is friendly or looking to take over the shit.”
