Nicki needs to step aside cause it's a new queen in town and the queen is cardi b… And Nicki u need to just so u don't have noooooo talent the olny reason they love is cause of your music that's all that's all and when u on stage
Cardi never did none to Nicki but Nicki wanna yell at cardi and I don't understand why Nicki Hate's cardi ….. Oh wait I know it's cause cardi is way much talented than Nick AND cardi has more. Views than nicki
“When it comes to stealing flows these birds is fluent
But they stutter when get asked bout the queen’s influence.”
-My favorite ever lyric (from Barbie Tingz about Cardi b)

I don’t get these people on here, there’s a billion guy rappers and no one compares them to each other, but the moment two successful female rappers appear, everyone has to try and tear one of them down, and pick a side, nicki and cardi are both amazing and talented rappers. Let them be
