Tia Kemp says she is NOT picking sides in the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj beef, but admits she leans more toward Cardi, saying she likes how REAL she is and doesn’t hide behind all the “Barbie gimmicks” like Nicki 😭🤣

Kemp's remarks follow her recent comments, in which she took shots at Nicki Minaj when talking about the feud between Cardi B and Minaj on social media. In that earlier talk, Kemp, who initially said she was not taking sides, criticized Minaj’s persona, calling her a “mean girl” and expressing her disapproval of the rapper’s “Barbie” image. She also praised Cardi B, saying,

"Cardi is unmatched, she's a real person to me, she ain't all that crazy f*cked up sh*t."

After these statements, Kemp said that Nicki Minaj's fans started harassing her online and even reportedly threatened her over the phone. The latest video she released is a direct response to the alleged harassment, where she made it clear that she wouldn't back down from the criticism or stay quiet about the actions of Minaj's fans.

The latest dispute started when Nicki Minaj tweeted a cryptic message saying “$4.99,” but many people thought it was related to the price of Cardi B's new album, Am I the Drama?. After the tweet, Minaj allegedly posted more content mocking the album sales and Cardi's pregnancy, using altered lyrics from Cardi's song Magnet.

In response, Cardi B called Minaj “Cocaine Barbie” and said she was jealous and disrespectful. She also brought up Minaj's past criminal conviction and accused her of dragging family issues into their public feud. The situation became more personal when Minaj made posts about motherhood and insulted Cardi’s daughter, which received widespread criticism online.

Cardi fired back, telling her that she would not tolerate any comments about her family. The exchange continued on X and Instagram, as artists and their fan bases, the Barbz on behalf of Minaj and the Bardi Gang on behalf of Cardi, posted memes, remarks, and insults.

“Jay z take off that fu**ing LACE FRONT.”
