Queen vs Queen

It’s not a secret that Nicki Minaj is considered the queen of rap but her thrown was threatened in 2017 when new female MC Cardi B stepped on to the scene. In October 2017 the two were featured on Migos “Motorsport” where there was speculation, they were dissing each other on the same track. Then the music video for “Motorsport” was released and it was obvious they did not shoot any scenes on the same day. They continued to deny the beef. Nicki Minaj claims her hairstylist wasn’t available on those days and cardi b spilled details about a Nicki Minaj changing her verse for the song. Nicki Minaj fires back on twitter. In 2018 met gala they were seen being cordial with each other. Fast forward to September 2018 after years of shady interviews and side comments in September 2018 Cardi B tried to fight Nicki Minaj at a NYFW event. That is just a summary of the 7-year long beef between the two female rappers. Yes! They are still beefing well into the roaring 2020s.

I understand absolutely that rapping, acting, singing etc. is a job at the end of the day so if you’ve worked a job, you know it’s typical to have a coworker, you’re not fond of or you may have had a disagreement with. The difference between us regular folk and celebrities is they navigate workplace issues on the world stage which I think heightens those issues. They’ve gone from light twitter beef to physical fights and the continuation of demeaning twitter beef activating underlying beef with other artists and even going so far as to talk about each other’s kids.

Here’s what I would have like to have seen not only as a PR major but a fan of female rap! Before beef even manifested, I think their debut collab should’ve been just the two of them on an epic female rap anthem! This would’ve been a great way for Nicki Minaj to show why they call her the queen besides her music instead of insisting she “little sister” Cardi B on “motorsport”. Nicki Minaj also had Queen radio via Apple Music and her and Cardi B promoting “Motorsport”. Cardi B loves twitter beef not just with Nicki Minaj but with any random hater I feel like is she had a social media manager this beef would be more under control I also feel the same for Minaj she’s been famous for a long time. A celebrity of her stature should not be ruining the legacy she’s built by throwing low blows via Twitter. In a perfect world they make up behind the scenes and give us an amazing mixtape collaboration.
