Nicki Minaj has been crowned the Queen of rap for the longest time, with a strong army of fans who go to battle with her. Even though she hasn’t posted many fashion moments lately, her numerous fan pages keep her old looks alive.
One fan page honored her at the beginning of this month, posting a bikini photo of the 42-year-old rapper that sparked a reaction from fans, who brought up Cardi B in the comments amid an ongoing feud between the two parties.

The five-photo carousel was a walk down memory lane of the “Super Bass” rapper in different outfits. The first slide was a picture of Minaj in a tiny Fendi bikini set with pink trims. Her visible underboob, cleavage, small waist, and signature hips had fans calling her “the great gorgeous goddess Nicki.”
The tribute continued with Minaj in a pink bikini paired with matching long hair. A close-up shot emphasized her endowed bust in a milky white outfit, followed by a black body-hugging jumpsuit in the fourth slide.
One more swipe to the right revealed the rapper in a plunging lace corset mini-dress that teased skin and captivated fans.
Rivalry With Cardi B

A fan commented, “What Cardi B thought she gave.” Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have had years of tension between them, and fans seem to fan the flames.
Their rivalry traces back to their 2017 collaboration “Motorsport,” when Cardi suggested Minaj changed her verse after hearing hers. In response, Minaj claimed that Cardi had painted her a liar, while Migos stayed silent.
The feud escalated into a physical altercation in 2018 at the Harper’s Bazaar NYFW party when Cardi threw a shoe at Minaj. But later that year, Nicki proposed a truce, which Cardi agreed to. Recent events, however, suggest that resentment between the rappers lingered.

Things Got Messy Again

In September 2025, the feud between the rappers reignited after Cardi B dropped her long-awaited album “Am I The Drama?” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 200,000 equivalent units in its first week.
The album hit 2x platinum, and instead of celebration, it hit the fuse on their eternal rivalry. Minaj’s first strike was in late September when she reposted fan memes on X mocking Cardi B’s projected sales as “less than Pink Friday’s 2 228K debut” and called out the $4.99 Walmart promo as cheapening the project.
More tweets targeting Cardi followed, which issued a response from the “Bodak Yellow” rapper. They’ve been going at each other, turning X into a battlefield, dragging their children and partners into it, crossing lines that neither had fully crossed before.
Their fanbases also joined the fight, causing even more chaos. With lines crossed, there might be no truce between the rappers this time.
Is Nicki Minaj The Drama?

The Cardi feud isn’t the only one on Minaj’s record. Over the years, she’s clashed with Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Lil Kim, and even Jay Z. Outside of rap, she’s traded shots with Miley Cyrus, SZA, and, recently, fans claim Beyoncé caught strays. Some are beginning to wonder if Minaj is simply surrounded by drama or if she is the source of the drama herself.
Nicki Minaj Is Still Dominating Charts

Despite the chaos, Minaj’s reign remains untouched. Her songs have been topping charts again, as a response from her fans to Cardi B. Minaj, seeing this, urged them not to stream Cardi B’s album, claiming it was “dipped in evil spirit,” while simultaneously rallying her fanbase to push her 2014 album to No. 1 on US iTunes.
Even without the games, Minaj is one of the most decorated rappers in the industry. Her trophy case, chart records, and cultural impact stack up impressively against both peers and hip-hop legends. Fans, who speculate that her beef might stem from jealousy, call for her to move past the feud.
