It seems like something out of a wild dream, but Nicki Minaj has reportedly squashed her long-standing beef with Cardi B—and in typical Nicki fashion, she’s throwing some serious shade at Cardi’s ex, Offset! No one saw this coming. Nicki and Cardi have been at odds for what feels like forever, and most of us thought their feud was never going to end. But with Cardi and Offset calling it quits, it seems that was the opening Nicki needed to extend an olive branch. Not only is she now showing support for Cardi, but she also took a major dig at Offset, accusing him of leeching off Cardi for fame. Nicki didn’t hold back—she completely dragged Offset and made it clear she’s not letting him off the hook anytime soon. So, let’s dive into the details.
Nicki and Offset have never been on good terms, mainly because of their beef over Cy, but things really blew up last year when Offset got into it with Nicki’s husband, Kenneth Petty. That incident landed Kenneth on house arrest, and if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Nicki doesn’t play when it comes to her man.
The drama hit the fan when a video started making the rounds, showing Kenneth and his crew outside, calling out Offset and threatening to jump him if they ever ran into him. Kenneth was heard saying, “Offset, where you at? That’s it, got it, spit on. Go, Kanye, shut up, man, we big two outside, big que right.” And if that wasn’t enough, Kenneth took it up a notch by threatening to “MK Offset.” He taunted, “Man, what’s up? You don’t know? They said you don’t know. Vac way to the street, let’s play. What’s up? We meet you there, get y’all.” Pulling this kind of stunt on any given day is bad enough, but doing it while on probation? That’s just asking for trouble.
People wasted no time dragging him into the drama and stirring up trouble with Cardi, even though she wasn’t involved. Naturally, Nicki got caught up in it too, and things escalated when Kenneth decided to share some private messages between him and Offset. That’s when things really started to heat up.
In the messages, Offset slid into Kenneth’s DMs, asking, “Where you at? You’re out here minding other people’s business with no money for war. Don’t post about me either, since you’re supposed to be a gangster, right? You live in Charlotte too?” Kenneth shot back, “I’m out here, not hiding from anyone, especially not some rap dude. I’m outside, gangster, so shut up. You didn’t even get revenge for your people who got killed.” Offset fired back, “You’re a grown man talking smack about a woman—real classy. You guys are too old and don’t even be outside. Think what you want, but you’re broke, and I’m not far from catching up with you. I’m done talking online, though. I’m not hiding.”
The exchange didn’t stop there. Offset threw some shade, saying, “Get some money, y’all don’t have any. It’s funny how you’re trying to broke-shame me when you’re one divorce away from being broke yourself.” He kept going with, “You guys aren’t handling business or making money—you’re broke, it’s obvious, clown.” Kenneth, not holding back, took a low blow by bringing up Takeoff’s death, saying, “Use that money to get the guys who killed your partner—that’s gangster.” And they just kept going, daring each other to show up and talking all kinds of trash. Eventually, Kenneth and his crew decided to take things to the next level and actually pulled up on Offset.
We still don’t know what made Offset hit up Kenneth out of nowhere, or why they got so heated, but rumors are swirling that something went down at the VMAs that we didn’t know about. It all kind of makes sense, though, because Offset sliding into Kenneth’s DMs like that was completely unexpected. Kenneth’s video, where he was threatening Offset, went viral, and—no surprise—it got him into big trouble with the parole board. He ended up getting sentenced to four months of house arrest.
According to the legal documents, Kenneth was caught on video making threats toward a specific person while hanging out with someone who had a criminal record. Because of that, the probation officer recommended putting Kenneth on house arrest with electronic monitoring to keep a closer eye on him, limit his movements, and maybe get him to rethink his actions. It’s kind of ironic—they basically told him to go stand in a corner and think about what he did, but in his mansion instead of an actual corner. The documents even mentioned, “Praying that the court orders Kenneth Petty to participate in up to 120 days of home detention, which may include electronic GPS monitoring.” Funny how Kenneth was out here bragging about being strapped, but now he’s got a monitor strapped to his ankle. He really overplayed his hand this time—not only did he violate his parole, but he had the nerve to brag about it online for everyone to see. And of course, he got caught and clowned by the internet.
Nicki Minaj recently hinted that Offset might have been spreading false reports about her family to the police and Child Protective Services, which led to armed officers surrounding her home. She expressed her frustration in a post, saying, “Twice now, my home has been surrounded by large guns. This person wanted a family with a 2-year-old to be in danger, yet no blog is talking about it. The same person made a false claim to CPS. When you have people in the music industry who don’t want you to succeed but realize they can’t stop you because God’s blessing on my life is real—it’s funny how this person hasn’t been found, mentioned, or arrested.” She added, “You can’t call the cops every time you flop, just saying. And for a child who’s done nothing but bring joy—you’re going to get what’s coming to you. I’m not reading comments, don’t care about them, so do what you want. So tell them this, write it down, take a picture, stop being surprised at what I do. I stepped on them, best dressed according to Vogue, body on fire.”
It seems like Nicki and Offset have had issues for a while, which are part of her ongoing feud with Cardi B. Interestingly, it looks like Nicki might actually have more of a problem with Offset than with Cardi, since she’s publicly shown support for Cardi and even criticized Offset, accusing him of living off Cardi. For those who don’t know, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset a few days ago. According to an insider, “They’ve grown apart, and that’s what led Cardi to this decision more than anything else. Her main priority now is getting primary custody of their two children. They’ve both been trying to figure out their future for a while now. It wasn’t a sudden decision. They’ve been on the same page about it. There wasn’t any big fight or pushback. They’ve just grown apart, and that feeling has only gotten stronger over time. It’s become something they can’t ignore. Cardi doesn’t hold any hard feelings towards him; she’s wishing him well. She’s not going into this new chapter of her life with any drama. She just wants peace.”
And just when things couldn’t get any more chaotic, Cardi B dropped another bombshell—she’s pregnant with her third child with Offset. She shared the news on Instagram with a heartfelt message: “With every ending comes a new beginning. I’m so thankful to have gone through this season with you. You’ve given me more love, more life, and most importantly, you’ve reminded me that I can have it all. I don’t have to choose between life, love, and my passion. I love you so much, and I can’t wait for you to see what you’ve helped me achieve. You, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it’s worth pushing through life’s twists and turns.”
Cardi’s situation is complicated, to say the least. But recently, Nicki Minaj surprised everyone by showing support for her on Twitter, saying, “Stop being so hard on yourself, take it easy.” We all expected Nicki to throw shade and mock Cardi over her personal drama, so it was kind of sweet to see her being supportive for a change. But Nicki didn’t just offer a kind word—she also called out Offset, accusing him of being a leech and only sticking around for the money and fame. And honestly, we’ve all kind of suspected that. Offset made good money when he was with Migos, but after they split, things haven’t been the same. His last album, Set It Off, barely sold 70,000 copies in the first week. After Migos broke up, nobody was really checking for Offset anymore. But Cardi’s been doing her best to lift him up, making sure he was included in her McDonald’s deal and even getting him a role in the Baby Shark movie, even though the producers just wanted her and the kids.
Word is, Cardi B was the one bringing in most of the money for the family. She’s all about saving and investing, while Offset’s more into spending like there’s no tomorrow. So, even though they both made a lot during their marriage, nearly all of what they have now—like 95% of it—is Cardi’s. And it’s not just cash; she’s invested in real estate too. They’ve got a home in Atlanta where Cardi and the kids live, and another in New Jersey where her mom stays. Cardi’s getting both of those houses.
Without Cardi’s money, Offset’s wealth isn’t as flashy as he makes it seem. He spends like crazy, and honestly, he’s not as hot as he used to be. People are wondering what his life’s gonna look like without Cardi around. Using someone for clout and money, and cheating on them constantly? That’s just messed up. Fans are pretty relieved that Cardi finally decided to leave all that mess behind.
Fans have been sounding off, saying things like, “I hope Cardi’s finally done with him because he’s not gonna change. Offset is just a toxic leech; she needs to let go. I love Cardi, but come on, she should’ve left him after the first time he cheated to avoid all the drama and embarrassment. This is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t waste your time trying to fix someone who doesn’t want to change.” And, “Offset totally used Cardi, married her, and now their finances are all tangled up. Offset’s playing the game for real.”
