In a turn of events that grabbed the attention of the hip-hop world, 50 Cent famously known for his rap feuds, has unexpectedly taken on the role of a mediator between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Their renewed animosity boiled over on social media following the release of Cardi’s latest album, leading to a spat that had everyone buzzing.
The tension between these two rap powerhouses was reignited when Nicki Minaj took a jab at Cardi’s new album, humorously downplaying its value by calling her rival ‘Barney B.’ Nicki went so far as to post a photoshopped image of Cardi as the well-known purple dinosaur. She didn’t stop there, mocking the rhyme scheme of Cardi’s song ‘Magnet’ with a biting tweet about chart performance.
In response, Cardi B fired back, labeling Nicki as ‘Cocaine Barbie’ and criticizing her for not selling as much as mega-stars like Drake and Rihanna. The feud, however, quickly took a more personal turn as they targeted each other’s families and lifestyles.
By midweek, Cardi seemed to attempt a detente, writing a heartfelt message suggesting Nicki explore therapy to heal old wounds and reduce toxicity. It was a surprising move, hinting at a possible cooldown in hostilities.
However, just as the fire started to dim, another spark was thrown when Cardi was overheard in a leaked phone call saying she’d physically confront Ice Spice, who had been indirectly involved in the dispute. Ice Spice retaliated by previewing a track on social media that seemed to take aim at Cardi, questioning authenticity with lyrics about imitation and fake behavior.
Amidst this chaos, it was 50 Cent’s comments that stood out; appearing on Instagram, he expressed hope for resolution, urging the rivals to end their feud before it escalates further. His followers found humor in his unexpected peacemaking role, with jokes emerging about how serious things must be if 50 is the voice of reason.
While 50 Cent’s call for peace might be a surprise, it reflects the unpredictable nature of the hip-hop scene and its ability to catch everyone off guard. Only time will tell if his advice will be heeded by Nicki and Cardi, but for now, the world watches and waits.
