Wait, did Nicki and Cardi really just put their feud to rest to join forces and call out Offset? CH, you might want to buckle up for this one because the word on the street is that Nicki and Cardi have finally made peace, and the drama that’s coming with it is seriously wild. Nicki even went ahead and exposed Offset for trying to hit on her, totally backing up Cardi’s decision to leave him.
It’s not clear how long they’ve been on good terms, but fans are loving it. I mean, these two have been at each other’s throats for six years now. What’s crazy is that Offset was one of the main reasons Nicki and Cardi even started beefing in the first place, so people are buzzing about them teaming up after all this time.
Apparently, they’ve been trying to work things out for a while, but Cardi leaving Offset was the sign Nicki needed to finally reconcile. And Nicki didn’t just put Offset on blast for trying to hook up with her—she also ripped into him for wrecking his family because he couldn’t keep it together. CH, she did not hold back.
When it comes to Offset and Nicki, she’s never been a fan, but they kept their issues mostly under wraps. I mean, she was already in a feud with his wife, so the last thing she needed was more drama with him. But things got heated last year when Offset took shots at her husband, Kenneth Petty, and landed him in trouble with his probation officer.
It all went down at last year’s VMAs when Kenneth made this painfully awkward video with his friend, trying to pick a fight with Offset. He even went so far as to threaten to “un-alive” Offset the next time he saw him. The whole thing was a mess, with Kenneth yelling, “Offset, where you at? It’s done. We’re outside, ready to go. Big C, what’s up? Let’s play. We’ll meet you there.” It was all over the place.
Here’s the kicker—Nicki was actually hosting the VMAs that night and had brought Kenneth along just for emotional support. But instead of laying low, he was outside the venue making a fool of himself, as usual. And the wildest part? He was supposed to be on probation! But there he was, acting tough and trying to pick a fight with Offset.
People didn’t hold back on dragging him and Nicki for this. A lot of the criticism was aimed at Nicki because everyone figured Kenneth felt bold enough to pull this stunt because he knew Nicki had the money and connections to bail him out of whatever trouble came his way, even though he was on probation.
At first, everyone was scratching their heads, wondering why Kenneth would even go after Offset in the first place. But then it came out that Offset had been talking smack about Kenneth. Apparently, Offset slid into the DMs of one of Kenneth’s friends and started trash-talking because that friend had threatened Cardi a few days earlier. Offset basically said, “Where you at? You guys talk about peace but keep getting involved in women’s business and talking crazy. You’re broke and can’t even afford to start a war.”
Once this whole fiasco went viral on social media, Kenneth’s probation officer got wind of it and wasted no time putting him in his place. Just a few weeks later, Kenneth was slapped with 120 days of house arrest. To make matters worse, Offset decided to rub it in by posting a video of himself boarding his private jet, basically showing off how rich and free he is, while Kenneth is stuck at home for the next 120 days. Big yikes.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, Nicki and Kenneth found themselves trending again after someone anonymously called the cops, accusing them of mistreating their son. A lot of people started blaming Offset for it. Nicki even hinted at it on Instagram, saying, “Twice now, my home’s been surrounded by big guns. Someone wanted a family with a 2-year-old to be shot at, yet nothing made the blogs. The same person made a false claim to CPS. When you’ve got snitches in high places in the music industry who don’t want you to win but can’t stop you because of God’s anointing in my life, it’s funny how this person hasn’t been found, mentioned, arrested—nothing.”
There was also speculation that Offset was targeting Nicki’s husband just to provoke her because he might still have feelings for her. Some of you might not know, but there were rumors about Offset and Nicki having a fling. However, when Cardi came along, Offset switched gears, seeing an opportunity to boost his career with her—something Nicki was smart enough not to allow.
He used to leave thirsty comments on all of Nicki’s IG posts and showed up at every event she attended. But when Cardi blew up and the industry turned on Nicki, Offset jumped on the Nicki hate train and aligned himself with Cardi, hoping she’d help keep his career going. Around the time Offset and Cardi got back together, Nicki subtly shaded him in her verse on Katy Perry’s “Swish Swish,” rapping, “Silly rap beefs just get me more checks. My life is a movie, I’m never off set. Me and my amigos, no, not Offset. Swish swish, a I got them upset.”
Remember that time Cardi was caught on camera snooping through Offset’s phone and found a flirty photo of Nicki Minaj? After the video leaked, Nicki couldn’t resist being a bit petty. She posted the exact same photo on her Instagram with the caption, “Sees my sexy every time she scrolls.” And she didn’t stop there—Nicki threw more shade at Cardi in her verse on Pop Smoke’s “Welcome to the Party” remix, rapping, “Keep it real, you really mad ‘cause your baby dad used to like me though. I ain’t f him ‘cause I ain’t want him. Told him take a hike like a hiker though.”
It’s pretty clear that Nicki and Offset have a history, and it’s no secret why she’s not a fan of his. Many people think that her beef with him has played a big part in the ongoing tension between her and Cardi. This theory gained even more traction when, just a few days ago, Nicki showed Cardi some love after news broke about her divorce. As most of you know, Cardi has officially filed for divorce from Offset for the second time, and this time, it seems like she’s really done with him.
A close source shared that “They’ve just grown apart. That’s really what pushed her to make this decision. It’s something she’s been thinking about for a while—it didn’t just happen overnight. They’ve both been on the same page about it, with no resistance from either side. The distance between them kept growing, and now it’s just something they can’t ignore.” Right now, Cardi’s main concern is getting primary custody of their two kids. On the same day she ended things, she also announced on Instagram that she’s pregnant. She captioned the post with, “With every ending comes a new beginning. I’m so grateful to have shared this season with you. You’ve brought me more love, more life, and most of all, renewed my power. You reminded me that I can have it all, that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion.”
But here’s the twist—Nicki saw all this, and instead of her usual shade-throwing, she actually surprised everyone by sending Cardi some words of encouragement. Around the same time the news of Cardi’s divorce came out, Nicki posted a cryptic tweet saying, “Stop beating up on yourself. Handle it gently.” People were shocked, and of course, they didn’t waste any time sharing their thoughts. One person said, “Nicki and Cardi on the same team? I’m here for it. They’re both dealing with similar stuff and probably need each other.” Someone else added, “Nicki’s probably going through something similar and can relate. I’m glad she’s being supportive. Hopefully, this will continue even after all the drama dies down.”
But now I want to know—what do you think about Nicki supporting Cardi? Could this be a sign that they’re finally ready to squash their beef and come together? Let me know your thoughts in the comments
