Cardi v. Nicki: Who Actually Won the Battle?


I’ll be honest, I was super late to the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B drama.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt, I told myself. Things got scrappy, Nicki posted a knockout post-fight selfie, and I thought it would end there.

Surprise! Shit’s still poppin’. While Nicki’s taken to her radio channel to voice her feelings about the altercation, meme-queen Cardi has been v busy laughing at her own jokes. Not one to turn down a passive-agressive pot-stirring opportunity, miz B is proving that while she may have lost the battle, she is still the reigning champ of extreme pettiness.
