As a long-time fan of both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, I’ve been following their careers with bated breath, witnessing their rise to fame, their triumphs, and unfortunately, their occasional feuds. The latest maternity shoot drama has left me in a state of confusion and amusement.

Cardi B firmly dismissed any hints of disrespect towards Nicki Minaj during her recent maternity session, as spectators assumed graffiti in the backdrop was a subtle jab at their decades-long rivalry. The rapper explained the purpose of the photoshoot and voiced her annoyance over the continuous speculation about their supposed feud

Cardi Defends Photoshoot Amid Speculation

On September 1st, Cardi B, aged 31, posted a New York City-themed maternity photoshoot on social media. Shortly after, some users speculated whether the graffiti, specifically a message about a “pedophile,” was intended towards Nicki Minaj’s brother, Jelani Minaj, who was convicted of such crimes. Cardi B quickly addressed these concerns on her platform (previously known as Twitter), stating that the location was chosen at short notice to avoid paparazzi and clarified that her team had not paid attention to the graffiti

Cardi Addresses Feud Rumors

The graffiti stirred more discussions because of Kenneth Petty, the spouse of Nicki Minaj, who himself has a criminal record. Cardi B explained that her maternity photo shoot was not intended to be humorous, saying “I’m not using MY PREGNANCY photoshoot for humor. Are you stupid?” However, some fans connect this incident with previous rap battles between Minaj, Cardi, Nicki Minaj, Cardi, and Megan Thee Stallusually Cardi, who had references to Nicki’s family matters in their songs earlier this year

As the ongoing tensions between Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and other artists continue to surface, Cardi remains adamant about staying out of further drama, reminding fans to “leave me the f— alone.” Though the feud may seem never-ending, Cardi’s latest statement signals her intent to focus on her family and upcoming baby, rather than reigniting the rivalry.
