Inside Nicki Minaj’s hottest fe.uds, including Cardi B’s, as the rapper’s fe.ud heats up with Latto after Grammys shake-up

NICKI Minaj has apparently picked the next target of her rage, as the rapper seems to have added a new name to her grudge list.

The hitmaker, 39, has ignited a nasty Twitter war against fellow rapper Latto, after a surprising move by Grammy organizers set her off.

The beef began brewing after the Recording Academy’s decision decision to move Nicki’s current hit song from the rap category to Pop.

At the same time, rumors have it Latto’s hit song, Big Energy, which features a similar pop vibe, has been submitted for consideration in the coveted, and less competitive, rap category.

That move did not sit well with Nicki, who apparently felt her younger protégé should have supported her and spoken out in her defense.

When Latto didn’t, Nicki clapped back at her, the Grammys, and anyone who would listen.


“I have no problem being moved out the RAP category as long as we are all being treated FAIRLY,” Nicki tweeted. “If [Super Freaky Girl] moved out RAP then so does Big Energy!

“Anyone who says different is simply a Nicki hater or a troll. I’d actually love to see a more street record win- male OR female! Right Is Right.”

After that, it was on as the two traded barbs and accusations throughout the night at each other.

Nicki called Latto an “Entitled Karen,” while Latto called her peer a “40-year-old bully.”

“You ain’t gone bully me B***H!” Latto tweeted back. “My idol turned rival now you hating!”

“Hating” is something Nicki knows much about, as she has been the center of many big name celebrity feuds during her career.

Cardi B and Nicki have been at each others throats since 2017, after Nicki dissed Cardi’s then-boyfriend Offset in the track Swish Swish.

Later that same month, Cardi took to Instagram to hit back at Nicki by slyly talking about “idols who become rivals.”

The following year, Cardi addressed the beef in an interview, saying: “I don’t really have the time for that. If you not f**king my man, or if you’re not taking my money from me, if you’re not stopping my money, then I don’t really give a f**k about you.”

The feud seemed to escalate later that year, after Cardi, 30, appeared to call Nicki out during a performance.

She declared: “You know this b***h, she never f**king liked me, and all of a sudden she want to be friends with me — no, b**ch. I still don’t like you b***h.”

It all climaxed at New York Fashion Week, where the two broke out into a physical fight after Cardi approached Nicki for “spreading lies.” The pair were dressed in posh frocks when the altercation broke out

According to reports at the time, Cardi even took off one of her red heels and threw it at Nicki – but the shoe missed as she was being protected by a large security guard.

When Nicki failed to receive a video of the year nomination for Anaconda at the 2015 VMA’s, even though Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus both did, she took to Twitter to say: “When the ‘other’ girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.”

She followed it up with: “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.”

To which Taylor replied “Nicki Minaj, I’ve done nothing but love and support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.”

In an interview with The New York Times, Miley described Nicki as “not too kind” and accused her of being jealous for not getting a nomination.

Then the drama unfolded at the 2015 VMA’s, when Nicki won the award for best hip-hop video.

While receiving it, she turned to Miley to say “Back to this b**ch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press; Miley, what’s good?”

“Nicki, congratu-f**king-lations,” Miley said.

The tension between the stars would continue for years.

Sometimes, Nicki injects herself into someone else’s feud, like when she spoke up earlier this year against Kevin Federline.

Nicki’s meddling came shortly after Britney Spears’ ex husband revealed that their sons, that Preston and Jayden “decided they are not seeing” their mom “right now.”

In an Amp livestream shortly thereafter, Nicki tore into the former backup dancer, questioning his own parenting abilities.

“Do you understand what kind of a clown you have to be to be a whole, grown f**king man, and as soon as you see somebody happy and getting married and moving on and being free and feeling good in their own skin, to do the very thing that you know is going to attempt to break them down?

“Only cowards use the media against a famous person who they once loved, they procreated with, they’re being taken care of by, they once were being taken care of by, using the person’s fame as this constant ‘gotcha’ moment.”

Nicki and Britney bonded when the two toured together in 2011.

Nicki and Mariah Carey were expected to judge others when they both joined season 12 of American Idol in 2013.

Instead, the two superstars turned the attention on each other.

The duo had worked together before, having collaborated on the 2009 song Up Out My Face, so when they got all up in each other’s faces, fans were shocked.

Before the season even premiered, there were reports that Mariah and Nicki weren’t getting along on set.

One the shows went live, their simmering feud was exposed, as the two wee constantly picking each other apart during auditions and performances

It seemed to climax during one particular Mariah critique of contestant Angie Miller, which prompted Nicki snap back.

But Mariah seemed to get the last word in, when she slam the famous rapper for never having had a single go No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time.

Or so she thought.

Later, after the season was over, Nicki asked her followers over Twitter: “Why a woman so successful at her age, is still so insecure, and bitter?”

Demi Lovato once said her experience at the 2016 Met Gala was so “terrible,” she nearly started drinking, after years of sobriety.

The actress and singer wouldn’t reveal who caused her such misery, but revealed: “This one celebrity was a complete b**ch and was miserable to be around.”

It has since long been speculated that Nicki was that celeb.

Demi would go on to describe the experience as being very cliquey.

“I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink.”

Their feud apparently began the night after the Met when Nicki shared a picture on Instagram of herself posing alongside Demi and deisgner Jeremy Scott, whom both were wearing.

But Nicki only tagged Jeremy.



Demi took offense at the lack of mention, commenting on with a laughing emoji, peace sign and thumbs up.

She later shared the same photo, with her own caption: “This picture pretty much summed up my first and probably last met
