A timeline of the Nicki Minaj & Cardi B feud

The two artists have been in a not-so-friendly relationship since Cardi's career debut in 2017. The two have been targeting each other for nearly five years and have also attacked each other physically and on social media.

The feud started in 2017, when both the rappers were compared to each other. A few months later, in May 2017, Nicki criticized Offset, Cardi’s husband. Minaj even went on to like comments on social media that were full of hate for Cardi.

Following this, Cardi took to social media to hit back at Minaj by talking about the "idols who become rivals." She also tweeted a reminder to the audience not to compare her to any of the other artists.

Things got a little better when a video was floated online with Minaj dancing on Cardi B song Bodak Yellow.

Both carried on passing sly comments to each other in interviews, but when asked, both denied any feud or rivalry with each other.

In an interview with Billboard, Cardi B cleared the air and said:

“I mean, I don’t really want problems with anybody. I don’t want to be, like, queen. I don’t wanna be no this. I don’t wanna be no that. I just wanna make music and make money. I really don’t have time to look at other women, what they doing. I’m myself, you know what I’m saying? Nobody got a problem with me. I don’t got a problem with them.”

In September 2017, Nicki Minaj also took to Twitter to congratulate Cardi B, when her song Bodak Yellow had hit number one spot.

Nicki's tweet was met with a sweet reply from Cardi, who said:

However, in April 2018, both the artists claimed that their feud is more internet-made than it is induced by themselves. Yet, a scuffle broke out between the two in the same year. It happened after Cardi approached Nicki for "spreading false news."

As per reports by some publications, Cardi also took off one of her red heels and threw them at Nicki at New York Fashion Week’s Harper Bazaar party. This resulted in an ugly brawl between the two.

The feud then carried on when the two lashed out at each other by sharing some cryptic tweets and social media messages. This time, however, the two didn't directly name each other even though netizens were sure that the feud was still ongoing and that the artists weren't at peace with each other.
