Cardi B has shared her honest feelings about her long-running beef with Nicki Minaj during a heated spat with the Barbz.
The drama began on Thursday (October 3) when the Bronx rap star posted a meme of Whitney Houston on X (formerly Twitter), seemingly in response to claims that she cheated on her estranged husband Offset with an NFL player.
In the brief clip, from Houston’s 2002 interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, the late singer asks the broadcast journalist: “But do you really know? Do you really know?”
An user named @barbieemaffia took issue with the post and implied that Cardi was copying Nicki Minaj, who has long been a devoted fan of Whitney Houston.
“Oh now she wanna post Whitney memes? [crying face emoji],” they wrote.
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker swiftly clapped back with proof that she has posted Whitney Houston memes in the past, digging up a screenshot of a post from three years ago.
“You sure bout that?? Now go see if bitches was posting this meme before that date,” she wrote.
Cardi was then accused by another Nicki fan of using the Young Money rapper to “stay relevant,” with the user also ridiculing the mother of three over her relationship troubles with Offset.
In response, Bardi claimed that she has long moved on from her feud with Nicki Minaj and has no interest of reigniting it: “Bitch that beef so stale and dry and do nothing for me …..as fans stop harassing people over dumb shit if y’all don’t want a fuckin respond ….yall all over my quotes over a meme that ain’t had shit to do wit yall.”

The claims at the heart of the back-and-forth were made earlier this week by Akademiks on his Rumble channel.
The controversial media personality said that the former Migos rapper caught his estranged wife with an NFL player, although he didn’t say who.
Akademiks did, however, suggest that the player in question was a wide receiver as he referenced him catching a touchdown.
His comments came after Offset accused Cardi of sleeping with another man while she was pregnant with their third child.

The row started when the “Ric Flair Drip” rapper hopped on Cardi’s Instagram Live and commented: “U fucked with a baby inside tell the truth!!”
The Bronx bombshell did not deny the claims, revealing she began talking to other men in June, weeks before she filed for divorce and roughly three months before she gave birth to their third child.
Cardi also leaked text messages between her and Offset in which he asked her if she “wants him,” to which she replied “no.”
