Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B: The Kids Get Dragged Into the Rap Beef

The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B just hit an even uglier level, and social media is on fire. What started years ago as a battle for rap dominance has now escalated into personal shots involving their children — something fans and critics alike are calling “low blows.”

Nicki’s Message to Kulture

Nicki Minaj set the internet ablaze when she posted a long message addressing Cardi’s daughter, Kulture. In the now-viral tweet, Nicki apologized directly to the little girl, calling her “a cute child” while reflecting that “lots of kids have funny looking gums before they grow into their features.”

Nicki also wrote that she did what she did “for a bigger purpose,” promising one day Kulture would understand. She ended by saying she’s sorry and doesn’t want the child to suffer for her mother’s actions, but also threw in a chilling line:

“One day your mother, aunt, & many more will be brought to their knees for what they’ve said AND TRIED to do to my young prophet/beautiful boy.”

👉 But instead of stopping there, Nicki doubled down. In a string of explosive tweets, she took her shots directly at Kulture — sparking outrage across social media.

She called the child:

• “a roach & a monkey”

• “a vulture”

• even wrote “Dear Kulture VULTURE” while mocking Cardi for being pregnant with “another monkey to add to her litter.”

Nicki also said things like “Ima kick your gums back into formation” and “your bald monkeys put together.”

These weren’t subliminals — they were direct attacks on a child. Fans and critics alike called it one of the lowest points in rap beef history.

Cardi Fires Back — And Brings Up Papa Bear

Cardi B wasted no time clapping back. First, she demanded Nicki keep Kulture’s name out of her mouth, calling the message a “backhanded apology” and posting a photo of a lioness with her cub to make it clear she was ready to protect her children at all costs.

But Cardi didn’t stop there — she went straight for Nicki’s son, Papa Bear, with a brutal post that fans say crossed a major line. In a direct message to Nicki’s child, Cardi wrote:

“Dear papa perc, I’m sorry that your mommy haven’t cut you a birthday cake for the past 3 days cause she can’t take my success or happiness… One day you going to grow up and I hope you understand when a girl says NO it means NO and you can overcome the pedophilia blood you inherited from your grandfather, father and uncle…”

She ended by saying Papa Bear might one day resent Nicki for giving Cardi more attention than him, calling for Nicki to get “rehab and the help she needs.”

The internet exploded — many called Cardi’s words a step too far, dragging a toddler into the fight with accusations tied to Nicki’s family history.

Social Media Reaction

Twitter/X has been on fire ever since. Some users are siding with Nicki, saying she tried to take the high road with her “apology” before Cardi went too far. Others are backing Cardi, saying Nicki started it by dehumanizing a child with racial slurs and violent threats.

But many are disgusted by both:

• “Children are off limits. Period.”

• “This is the nastiest level of rap beef I’ve ever seen.”

• “At this point, CPS about to step in.”

Hip-hop has a long history of rivalries — Lil’ Kim vs. Foxy, Tupac vs. Biggie, Remy Ma vs. Nicki — but rarely have kids been dragged into the battlefield this openly.

Both Nicki and Cardi are powerhouse women in rap, but the public is now questioning whether their legacy will be stained by this ugly chapter.

What was once a battle for the rap crown has now turned into a deeply personal war involving children, family, and accusations that go way beyond music. AND IT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!! KIDS ARE INNOCENT! The tea is hot, the internet is divided, and the damage might be permanent.
