Nicki Minaj has never been one to back down from a challenge. If there’s the vital lesson the music world has taught us over the years, it’s don’t mess with Nicki Minaj. The 35-years-old rapper cemented herself as a wig-loving, expletive-laden-lyric-delivering, no-nonsense force to be reckoned with. So, naturally, she’s has her fair share of feuds with other celebs. The rapper has sparred with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey and more. However, in April 2016, Minaj told Ellen DeGeneres that she regret her past feuds with fellow stars, Here, a list of stars who’ve found themselves on the rapper’s bad side. Cardi B: The first hints of tension between the pair began in the spring of 2017, when Minaj appeared to “like” a fan’s instagram comment dismissing one of Cardi B’s rap verses. Things only began to escalate the following summer after Cardi’s breakout single “Bodak Yellow” topped the charts and the signed to Atlantic Records. Rumors of a feud continued to swirl as Minaj and Cardi offered guest vocal, on various single that could be construed as shade at the other, but both denied there was any bad blood. According to Minaj, the real beef began when they teamed up with Migos on “Motorsport” October 2017. At the time, Cardi said in an interview that some lines in the track were changed last-minute before it’s released. A month later, the beef appeared to be squashed when Cardi and Minaj were seen having what look like a heart-to-heart at the Met Gala. Their tiff reignited in August, when Minaj addressed Cardi on her Beats 1 Queen Radio Show. Shortly after, Cardi revealed someone, seemingly Minaj, had blocked her on Twitter. Then, Cardi and Minaj’s cold war finally boiled over into an all-out physical altercation in NYC. While the source said it initially looked like Cardi and Minaj “might hug out” inside the party, suddenly “it all went claim.” Immediately following the incident, Cardi was escorted out by security while Minaj stayed inside. Cardi was seen leaving the party with a large lump on her forehead but no shoes. Cardi later wrote a long scathing Instagram post that didn’t mention Minaj by name, but suggested she had tried to sabotage Cardi’s career and also spoken badly about Kulture Kiari. On Monday, Minaj addressed the altercation on her Queen Radio Show. Minaj also went on to deny that she had ever spoken I’ll of Cardi’s infant daughter. Taylor Swift: It all started with a tweet. Swift and Minaj had a heated exchange on the social media site after the rapper spoke out about her lack of a nomination for Video of the year at the 2015 MTV VMAs, seemingly referencing Swift’s nomination. Swift, who was the only female to receive a nomination in that category, responded to Minaj’s tweet, accusing the star of pitting “women against each other.” Minaj noted that she made no mention of the singer, and Swift soon called a truce in a follow-up post. (Swift ended up taking home the award.) The singer later tweeted an apology to the rap star, writing that she “missed the point of Minaj’s tweets. The two seemed to put all the “Bad Blood” behind them when Swift joined Minaj on the VMA stage in a show-stopping performance. But then in 2017, Minaj appeared as a featured guest on one-time Swift frenemy Katy Perry’s single. Miley Cyrus: Proving that she is not one to back down, Minaj confronted Cyrus at the VMAs, after the singer called her “not too kind” while commenting on the Minaj-Swift exchange in an interview. “Now, back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press,” Minaj said after taking to the stage to receive the award for best hip-hop video. Minaj addressed the still-unresolved feud in her cover story for the New York Times that October.
