why are nicki minaj and cardi b arguing

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are currently arguing mainly due to longtime tensions reignited by Cardi B's recent album release, "Am I the Drama?" Minaj criticized the album's sales figures, suggesting they were artificially inflated through bundles and discounts. This led to a heated exchange on social media, where both traded personal insults, including digs at each other's looks, parenting, and families. Minaj also called out companies Cardi B partners with, such as Walmart and DoorDash, over controversial comments allegedly linked to Cardi. The feud has a history stretching back to 2018, including a physical altercation at New York Fashion Week. The latest flare-up appears to stem from Minaj's frustration with Cardi's new album and its commercial success compared to her own recent work.
