Rappers Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have reignited their long-running feud, taking their clash to social media platform X in a heated exchange that has grabbed global attention.
The two superstars, who last made headlines for their public altercation during Fashion Week in 2018, showed that the rivalry is far from over. Their latest back-and-forth involved cryptic posts, sharp insults, and even playful rhymes that quickly went viral.
It all began when Cardi B celebrated a major career milestone, announcing that her second album Am I The Drama? had gone double platinum. She also confirmed plans for her upcoming LITTLE MISS DRAMA tour.
Shortly after, Nicki Minaj posted an image of an eagle in flight — a move fans interpreted as shade toward Cardi, whose album cover features a crow. What followed was an exchange of posts, with Nicki sharing more cryptic images and Cardi firing back with pointed comments.
The feud escalated into what fans online dubbed the “alphabet war,” as both artists mocked each other through rhymes using the ABC format. The lighthearted yet biting lyrics sparked a flood of memes and commentary across social media.
Cardi then shifted focus to career comparisons, suggesting Nicki should measure her success against artists like Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Drake, who launched their careers around the same time. She also highlighted her own achievement of securing two consecutive No.1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart.
Why you keep bringing up my album?? It’s not the gag that you think it is..You been in the game like 16 years.. you need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around YOUR time. Rihanna, Taylor swift, Drake…those are the numbers you need to be competing wit and you can’t…

Adding to the drama, fellow rapper Ice Spice drew attention with a cryptic post that many fans saw as fueling the tension.
While fans remain divided, many agree that the feud has once again showcased the influence both artists hold in the hip-hop industry and on social media.
