Looks like the ongoing feud between Cardi B and JT isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Cardi just fired back at JT after she exposed Cardi for allegedly having multiple STDs. Their rivalry has been ongoing, and it recently intensified when JT accused Cardi of copying her style. And now, JT has taken it a step further by publicly calling out Cardi for her health status. What makes this even messier is that it’s not the first time Cardi has faced STD allegations. Previously, she took legal action against Tasha K for similar claims, suing her for $4 million, which Tasha has yet to pay. JT should tread carefully, as Cardi might take legal action against her too, especially considering JT’s financial situation.
So, as many of you already know, Cardi and JT have been engaged in a heated feud for the past few days, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to simmer down anytime soon. It all started back in 2022 when Cardi referred to JT as Nicki Minaj’s sidekick after JT collaborated with Nicki on a song. Cardi, who had been supportive of the City Girls from the beginning, felt betrayed by JT’s association with her rival. Despite some intense exchanges, they never really made amends and kept their distance from each other. However, things reignited recently when Cardi posted a video promoting her new single “Like What” while dressed in a striking pink Rick Owens outfit. Shortly after, JT posted pictures of herself wearing the exact same outfit, which she had worn at Milan Fashion Week a few days earlier. It was a clear dig at Cardi, and it seemed like JT was deliberately provoking her. But Cardi chose to ignore JT’s antics, realizing that JT was attempting to stir up drama for attention. She’s not taking the bait and refuses to give JT the satisfaction of a response.
You might expect JT to retreat after not receiving a response, but she didn’t. Recently, she stirred up controversy once again by seemingly accusing Cardi B of having an STD. Yet, these allegations hit a sensitive nerve for Cardi, a fact JT is well aware of. The rumors about Cardi’s health started with Tasha K, who claimed Cardi had herpes, insinuating she contracted it during her dancing days and passed it on to her daughter, Kulture. Tasha has a history of hurling these accusations at Cardi since her rise to fame, even prompting Cardi to publicly confront her in 2018. Tasha’s tactics included interviewing individuals from Cardi’s past to smear her reputation with baseless claims.
There’s this blogger who has a serious grudge against me, and I’ve had enough of her fabricating stories. She’s been relentlessly stalking not just me, but anyone close to me. It’s absurd how she twists innocent interactions into fodder for her false narratives. It’s beyond frustrating. I’m taking legal action against her for defamation. Criticize me all you want, but when you involve my daughter, that crosses a line. Cardi B wasn’t bluffing when she mentioned suing. And she followed through. Although she initiated the lawsuit in 2019, it took until 2021 for the case to proceed to trial. In court, Cardi vehemently denied the baseless accusations, which had a profound negative impact on her mental health. The relentless harassment left her feeling defeated and unworthy. This legal battle traces back to 2019 when YouTuber Tasha K flooded the platform with over 20 videos targeting Cardi B. Such behavior is nothing short of obsessive. With over a million followers, Tasha K used her platform to spread what the court deemed malicious falsehoods.
She conducted interviews with individuals who were once close to Cardi B, alleging that her record label purchased her awards. She spread baseless rumors suggesting Cardi was involved in sex work and made derogatory remarks about her health, including unfounded claims about herpes. Cardi B bravely shared in court how deeply these events affected her mental health, even contemplating suicide due to their traumatic nature.
During the legal proceedings, the judge instructed Cardi to undergo extensive STD testing to refute the defamation claims. This ordeal was profoundly humiliating for Cardi, as she faced ridicule and mockery from the public. Despite the scrutiny, Cardi clarified that her test results had long been available and refuted any false claims made against her.
Ultimately, Cardi emerged victorious in the lawsuit, proving that the allegations against her were fabricated for attention. Tasha was ordered to compensate Cardi with over $4 million in damages, yet she has failed to fulfill this obligation, filing for bankruptcy instead. Tasha’s attempts to shift blame onto Nicki Minaj were dismissed due to lack of evidence, further highlighting the deceit behind her actions.
Tasha K asserted that her client has herpes, but clarified that it wasn’t directly stated by Nicki Minaj. Now, Tasha K seems to be shifting the blame onto Nicki Minaj for spreading the rumor. Nonetheless, Cardi B isn’t escaping the STD allegations, as JT recently brought up the topic again, leading to speculation that she was throwing shade at Cardi.
In a recent Twitter interaction, Nicki Minaj engaged in her usual playful banter by posting a trivia question for her fans, asking them to complete a lyric from her song “Pink Friday.” Instead of tweeting the full sentence, Nicki only posted “Ain’t never had a” and left it to her fans to finish. JT seized the opportunity to stir up drama by replying with “STD,” implying that Nicki has never had one. Although Cardi’s name wasn’t explicitly mentioned, many interpreted JT’s comment as aimed at Cardi, given their ongoing feud. While Cardi and her fans vehemently criticized JT and accused her of shading Cardi, some defended JT, suggesting that Cardi’s immediate assumption might stem from a belief that the allegations hold some truth. After all, JT never directly mentioned Cardi. However, Cardi and her fans seemed convinced that the shade was directed at her regardless.
Perhaps there’s insider knowledge we’re missing here. One individual pointed out, “Jumping to conclusions about Cardi’s health based on a single mention of STDs says more about societal biases than about Cardi herself. Why drag her into this?” Nicki Minaj has always engaged her fans with trivia, but bringing Cardi’s name into unrelated discussions seems like an attempt to keep her in Nicki’s orbit. It’s disappointing. Another commenter noted, “JT mentions STDs and suddenly Cardi fans are up in arms. No wonder JT feels alienated from her fanbase. Now people are speculating about Cardi’s health.” JT herself chimed in, dismissing the notion that her tweet targeted Cardi. She remarked, “Y’all are reading too much into this. Stay mad, though.” The situation is messy, to say the least. It’s evident that there’s no love lost between these two artists, and allegations of this nature only exacerbate the rift. While disagreements over fashion are one thing, insinuations about STDs cross a line that’s hard to come back from. Now, let’s hear your take. Was JT’s comment aimed at Cardi, or is there more to it? And as for Cardi, is she really facing health issues, or is this just speculation? Share your thoughts below, and be sure to check out the linked video for more drama.
