What did Cardi B say about her feud with female rappers? Details explored

Cardi B's latest series of alternate album covers has garnered attention and been praised by fans; some netizens compared the visuals to Nicki Minaj's branding, associated with the color pink.

For the unversed, Cardi has had a longstanding feud with Nicki Minaj since 2017, with both artists taking direct as well as indirect jabs at each other over the years.

Explaining her album's title, the rapper shared that it is a question about whether she is the drama or if the drama chases her. Dubbing herself as someone who was "born with an anointed light," Cardi added that sometimes the light disturbs people's peace, while sometimes it is great.

The WAP rapper said that her anointed light draws people to her, which is not always favorable, as it might bother some people as well. Talking about her feud with female rappers in the industry, Cardi B said:

β€œEven in the industry, there is a lot of different female rappers, but for some reason, it’s something about me that these b***hes can’t stand. They can’t f**k with me. Some b***hes, I feel like they’re on this class right now, they’re sophomores, and I’m a senior."

She continued:

"And it’s like, you want to f**k with the senior so bad. You think you’re here with the senior. You’re not even a junior. You need to worry about them other sophomores before you start worrying about the f**king senior.”

In addition to Nicki Minaj, Cardi is also known to have beef with Akbar V, Bia, and JT of City Girls.
