Nicki Minaj Addresses Incident with Cardi B on QUEEN Radio
This past Friday (Sept. 7), Nicki Minaj was confronted by Bronx rapper Cardi B during Harper Bazaar’s party at New York Fashion Week. In an official statement on Instagram, Cardi B confirmed the situation with Minaj saying she was provoked by the rapper and stated the following:
“I’ve let a lot of sh*t slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop by bags, f*ck up the way I eat!” Cardi wrote. “You’ve threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop f*ckin with them!! I let you talk bug sh*t about me!! I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!! But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f*ckin off!! I’ve worked too hard and come too far to let anybody f*ck with my success!!!!”
Today, Nicki Minaj took to her BEATS 1 platform QUEEN Radio to address the situation and denied all the accusations Cardi B claimed in regarding liking disrespectful comment about her new-born baby girl, Kulture.
“The other night I was part of something so mortifying and so humiliating to go through in front of a bunch upper echelon… people who have their life together. The way they passed by looking at this disgusting commotion. I was mortified. I could not believe how humiliated it all felt. I wanna say that I would never discuss anyone’s child. And it’s so sad for someone to pin that on me because I’m the bad guy and they’re gonna believe them. I would never talk about someone’s child or parenting. It’s so crazy to me that people always need to make Onika the bad guy. If you’re right in whatever you’re doing. Just speak your truth.
The world gave you a blessing, of a beautiful bundle of joy, and the only thing on your mind after you gave birth was to attack people and to stop their bags. Let me tell you something, a woman cannot give your man p*ssy if he doesn’t stick his d*ck in there. Who are you angry at, sweetheart? And you wanna let your publicist write something about stopping bags? Do you know what it is to sit in your room for hours and days at a time writing raps? You came into my f*cking culture! I never had a DJ to play my fucking songs.
This is about, get this woman some f*cking help. This woman is at the best stage of her career and she’s throwing bottles and shoes? You n*ggas don’t care until somebody’s f*cking dead. This shit ain’t f*cking funny. You put your hands on certain people, you gonna die.”
Nicki continued with the following statement throughout the show:
“I’m not one of these bitches in the strip club or on a reality show. My money is very fucking long too.”
Much later in the program, she said, “I have no beef with Offset, but I have to be a voice for these women.”

NBA YoungBoy Arrested in Utah: Facing Charges Ranging from Drug Offenses to Identity Fraud
NBA YoungBoy, also known as YoungBoy Never Broke Again, has found himself in legal trouble once again as he was apprehended on Tuesday, Apr. 16, in Utah. The charges against him span a range of offenses, from identity fraud and forgery to multiple drug-related charges.
According to records from the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, the charges, which originated from his hometown in Louisiana, include patterns of unlawful activity, attempts to obtain drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon. At the time of his arrest, NBA YoungBoy, born Kentrell Gaulden, was under house arrest in Utah.
In October 2022, YoungBoy Never Broke Again was granted bond by Louisiana Chief U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick after being arrested in March 2022. He had been placed in FBI custody due to an outstanding warrant related to drug and weapons charges from a September 2020 arrest in Baton Rouge, where he was filming a music video.
Last month, NBA YoungBoy released his seventh studio project, titled “Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain,” featuring 13 tracks. Notably, this marks his thirteenth project in the past two years alone.
