Am I the Drama
Cardi B has struck back fiercely at Nicki Minaj following a series of subliminal disses aimed at her sophomore album Am I the Drama. The rap star defended her sales, accused Nicki of petty jabs, and even gave her the nickname “Cocaine Barbie” in retaliation.
What Started It
- After Am I the Drama launched, Nicki Minaj appeared to mock Cardi via cryptic posts, including a reference to “$4.99” — the promotional price for the album. Many viewed this as an attempt to downplay Cardi’s success.
- Minaj’s subtle social media moves intensified speculation that she believed Cardi’s initial numbers were inflated or manipulated, even though Drama has already been certified double platinum in its first week.
Cardi’s Response
- Cardi responded aggressively. She called Nicki “Cocaine Barbie” and used modified lyrics from her track “Magnet” to attack Nicki’s personal history and family.
- In her tweets, Cardi defended her success, claiming Nicki should compare herself to artists from her era, not newer ones. She criticized Minaj for questioning her sales while trying to overshadow them.
- Cardi also brought up Nicki’s brother’s past and questioned Nicki’s ability to criticize her performance given that history.
What This Feud Highlights
- The tension speaks to long‑running rivalries in female rap circles, where comparisons and status are often measured by sales, influence, and legacy.
- It also shows how modern celebrity conflicts are increasingly played out via streaming metrics, certifications, and social media strategy.
- Fans and media alike will be watching to see if this leads to more diss tracks or public appearances feeding the narrative.
