Nicki Minaj attempted to dampen Cardi B’s album release for her new album, Am I the Drama?, by announcing the release of her own album, which is six months away.
After Cardi’s album topped the charts, earning 200,000 equivalent album units in the United States, with approximately 90,000 being pure sales. On the album, Cardi took shots at several female rappers who have collaborated with Nicki, including BIA and JT.

“Never provoke a writer while they’re [writing emoji],” Minaj tweeted. “Let the reindeer games begin.”
Soon after, Minaj unleashed a barrage of since-deleted posts aimed directly at Cardi B and at Cardi’s album Am I the Drama?, which she mocked by simply writing “$4.99,” a nod to its iTunes sale price and calling the pregnant rapper “Barney Dangerous.”
She then parodied Cardi’s track “Magnet” and its viral line, “A-B-C-D-E-F-G / these b—hes can’t f–k with me.”
“Abcdefgeeeeeeee,” Minaj typed in one tweet. “SUR GER REE TO LOOK LIKE MEEEEEE / tell the rat & tell J ZEEEEEE / Rico Fraud & PERJURY.”
“Fallin off the charts wit a big bellyyyy / RUNNING TRAINS. Barefoot, still smellyyyyy / Still. You. Could. Not. outsell. meeeeee,” she went on.
Cardi fired back with her own set of barbs, dubbing Nicki “Cocaine Barbie” and tossing out her own remix to Magnet:
“A B C D E F G / Yor man have to snatch P—Y / P—y taste like honey comb / Your bro be touching 12 year olds,” she posted.
Cardi clapped back: “It’s not the gag that you think it is.. You been in the game like 16 years.. You need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around YOUR time. Rihanna, Taylor swift, Drake…those are the numbers you need to be competing wit and you can’t cuz you doing lower than all of them… I was in high school when you came out wtf is you comparing yourself to me for???”
She also addressed Minaj’s pregnancy remarks, referencing her fourth child and first with NFL star Stefon Diggs:
“Like you wasn’t going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all them percs scrambling your eggs. NOT ALLEGEDLY …Lord protect my babies,” Cardi said.
