Cardi B SLAMS Nicki Minaj for Dissing SZA: “You’re the Bully”
In a fiery response that has sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community, Cardi B has fiercely condemned Nicki Minaj for allegedly bullying SZA on social media. The escalating tension between the two rap icons has now taken a personal turn, with Cardi accusing Nicki of crossing the line by attacking SZA, a fellow artist and friend.
The drama began when Nicki Minaj appeared to make a series of cryptic remarks about SZA during a live stream on her Instagram. In the video, Nicki, known for her no-holds-barred commentary, seemed to throw shade at the “Good Days” singer, mentioning SZA in a way that many fans interpreted as disrespectful. While Nicki did not make any direct insults, the tone of her comments, combined with the subtle insinuations, was enough to spark widespread speculation about the nature of her relationship with SZA.
Cardi B, who has previously shown support for SZA and expressed admiration for her music, didn’t waste any time before addressing the situation. In a series of impassioned posts on social media, Cardi B called out Nicki for what she described as bullying behavior. “Why you always gotta tear someone else down to make yourself feel big? @NickiMinaj, you’re the bully here, not SZA,” Cardi wrote in a tweet that quickly went viral.
Cardi went on to accuse Nicki of using her platform to belittle other women in the industry, a pattern that has been a recurring topic in the ongoing rivalry between the two rap queens. “SZA is talented, she’s humble, and she’s real,” Cardi continued. “You can’t keep attacking every woman who comes up in the game. You’re the one who’s insecure, not her.”
Fans of Cardi B and SZA quickly rallied behind the two women, praising Cardi for speaking out against what they viewed as a longstanding pattern of negativity from Nicki Minaj. The hashtag #CardiBvsNickiMinaj began trending, with fans calling for Nicki to apologize and end the public back-and-forth.
Nicki Minaj, however, has yet to directly respond to Cardi’s accusations. Instead, she posted a vague message on Instagram that many took as a subtweet aimed at Cardi: “I’m here to inspire, not bring anyone down. Keep that same energy and let your work speak for itself.” The post, though not explicitly about Cardi or SZA, seemed to address the drama without acknowledging the specifics of what had happened.
The situation has sparked renewed debate about the toxic culture of rivalry in the hip-hop industry, particularly among women, who are often pitted against each other by fans and the media. Some have criticized both Cardi and Nicki for continuing to feed into this narrative, while others argue that this is simply part of the competitive nature of the industry.
In the midst of the social media war, SZA herself has remained relatively quiet. While she has not made any public statements regarding Nicki’s remarks or Cardi’s defense, she has continued to focus on her music and creative work. Fans of the singer have expressed their support, with many calling for more solidarity among female artists in the rap and R&B worlds.
For now, the feud between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj seems to be far from over. Whether this will result in another diss track, public confrontation, or simply fade into the background remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the battle for dominance between the two queens of rap continues, and the internet is watching every move.
