“Don’t drag me into your game anymore!” – this resolute statement from Cardi B is causing a stir in the global hip-hop fan community. In a public response to Nicki Minaj, Cardi affirmed that she no longer wants to be dragged into meaningless controversies. The female rapper emphasized that, after 16 years in the industry, Nicki should prove her position by competing with the music legends of the same generation such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift or Drake, instead of trying to put herself on par with younger artists.
Cardi believes that the reason Nicki constantly attacks her and other emerging female rappers is because Nicki is no longer strong enough to keep up with her peers. Instead of conquering greater heights, Nicki chooses to create drama with the next generation to maintain attention. “If you really want to prove your class, stand on the same playing field as the legendary names you have been compared to, instead of wasting time putting down your juniors,” Cardi emphasized.
This statement immediately caused a wave of fierce controversy. Some fans thought Cardi was too straightforward and disrespectful, while others agreed that it was time for Nicki to focus on her music career instead of endless fights. Whether supporting or opposing, everyone had to admit that this “confrontation” exposed the simmering tensions between the two top female rappers for many years.
Clearly, Cardi B not only wanted to escape Nicki Minaj’s “game”, but also sent a strong message: true music must come from dedication and fair competition, not from verbal battles that overshadow real talent.
