Revealing the underlying cause of the fight between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj

Before the recent “wild” fight, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B had the opportunity to contribute vocals to the song “Motorsport” by the group Migos, released last year. Although at that time, the two female rappers both denied hating each other, people speculated that they… criticized each other in the same song.

Initially, both tried to deny rumors of hostility. Cardi said: “I feel like people still wouldn’t be satisfied even if she and I were kissing each other in a photo. It seems like people just want something dramatic to happen for entertainment.”

Nicki also affirmed: “These men refuse to give up (the suspicion that we hate each other). They don’t raise such doubts with male artists.”

Having said that, when filming the MV, Nicki did not film on the same day as Cardi B and the Migos group, so the two female rappers filmed one MV but did not appear in one frame. Nicki later argued that because her hair stylist was busy on the day of the original MV filming, Nicki could not be present that day.

The conflict occurred when Cardi B learned that Nicki Minaj mentioned her name in the original verse but later changed it

In an interview last November, when asked about not filming the MV on the same day as Nicki, Cardi B just kept it vague and did not answer directly. The female rapper also revealed that Nicki’s original rap was actually different from the final product when completed.

Soon after, Nicki took to Twitter to imply that someone was “ungrateful”.

Fast forward a few months, and in April this year when Nicki released her new album, she gave an interview talking about the conflict surrounding their song “Motorsport”: “The only time Cardi really hurt me was the song “Motorsport”. interview she did after recording ‘Motorsport’. The only thing she kept saying was: ‘Oh, I didn’t hear that part, Nicki changed her verse in the song.'” .

“I feel like I’ve been ambushed,” Nicki continued, looking upset. She also accused Quavo – a member of the Migos group – of not standing up to help Nicki about the truth surrounding this song.

Nicki further revealed that her hair stylist actually had a busy schedule on the day of filming the “Motorsport” MV, but the Migos and Cardi groups kept quiet about this despite the growing rumors of their feud. : “They all made it look like I was lying. Cardi is hiring my hair stylist now, so he can corroborate the fact that there was a scheduling problem.”

“I have always supported Cardi until I heard about her recent interview. I have never seen her show sincere love for me in an interview. There are so many girls. “Girls are expected to sing the same song with Nicki Minaj. I don’t say that with arrogance,” Nicki expressed.

Coincidentally, on the day of the interview, Nicki’s original verse for the song “Motorsport” was leaked. It shows that Nicki mentioned Cardi’s name in the original lyrics: “If Cardi the QB, I’m Nick Lombardi”.

The two were once close

In the final version, Cardi’s name in this sentence was changed to Quavo’s name. It’s unclear whether Nicki mentioned Cardi’s name in the lyrics to insult her or simply wanted to mention her junior’s name. Later, Nicki posted a tweet saying that she changed the lyrics at the request of record label Atlantic.

A month after the incident, Nicki and Cardi met at the Met Gala but shook hands happily as if no argument had ever happened. But maybe they still “pin” each other in their hearts, leading to the recent fight incident?
