The beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B just went from a little smoke to a full FIVE ALARM BLAZE. Yesterday Nicki purportedly posted a video on her IG stories, suggesting that Cardi B was racist towards Black women, Media Take Out has heard.
Cardi and Nicki have had some pretty serious beef in the past. The two ladies feuded over a song, and eventually that feud turned violent. As Media Take Out reported, Cardi confronted Nicki at a fashion week event in 2020 – and Nicki’s friend punched Cardi repeatedly, bruising the Latina rapper’s face.
The beef seemed to quiet down over the past year. But yesterday, Nicki appeared to re-ignite the feud.
In the video, which you can see below, a commentator jokingly referred to Cardi as a “White woman named Cardinal Beatrice The Third.” She claims that Cardi referred to people of color as “roaches.”
Cardi has been accused of calling Black women “roaches” in the past. But Cardi addressed the allegations and while she did admit to calling Black women “roaches,” the Latin artist claims that the comments were not made as a dig with respect to race.
Look:
According to Instagram gossip blogs, Nicki posted the above video on her IG story, and quickly deleted it – but not until someone screenshot it.
Now Black Twitter is in an uproar – and people are taking sides. Half seem to be with Nicki, and half with Cardi.
