Why does every Sagittarius have such an expensive face card?

This could be a reference to the renewed feud between Minaj and Cardi B on social media, which began on September 29, 2025.The two rappers have been going back and forth for days now, and their reignited beef turned vicious as they began targeting each other's children and families. One of Minaj's recent posts directly addressed Cardi B's eldest daughter, Kulture, whom the Anaconda rapper had previously called "ugly" amid the renewed beef. In the post dated October 2, the rapper apologized to the seven-year-old, saying:"One day you’ll see this, so I have to say: I apologize. As a child of God & QUEEN of my community who look to me for integrity. You’re an innocent child & don’t deserve any of this. 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. Take care my darling. This isn’t who I am."In her response, Cardi accused Minaj of giving her daughter a "backhanded apology." She added that while "going back and forth about kids is really draining [her] energy," she was ready to resend Minaj the "energy you keep giving my kids."Meanwhile, Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl has received a 5/5 star rating from Rolling Stone. The publication praised the album for its "exciting sonic turns" and "incisive storytelling." However, The Guardian gave the album a 2/5 rating, describing it as "dull razzle-dazzle from a star who seems frazzled."
