Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have both responded to Megan Thee Stallion after she threw shade at them in her latest song. In her new track, Megan called Nicki a “washed-up crackhead” and claimed that Cardi is a flop clinging to pop artists to stay relevant.
It’s unclear why Megan decided to take these shots, but it seems she might be trying to provoke a response similar to the famous feuds like Drake vs. Kendrick. This approach has worked for her before, especially after Nicki’s intense three-day social media rant.
This drama is surprising considering Megan and Cardi were once close. They collaborated on the hit “WAP” and the recent “Bongos,” and seemed friendly outside of music. However, Megan’s new song suggests a shift in their relationship.
In her track “BOA,” Megan raps, “Bees is bitter, they thought it was sweet all of a sudden they vegan, they don’t want beef,” clearly referencing Cardi’s veneers and her habit of buying Birkin bags. Megan also took a jab at Cardi’s attempt at pop music, which didn’t achieve the success she hoped for.
Fans were initially unsure if the shade was directed at Cardi because of their past collaborations, but the lyrics fit her too well. The tension between them might be deeper than it appears.
Megan also reignited her feud with Nicki Minaj, responding to Nicki’s track “Bigfoot.” This feud began when Megan dissed Nicki’s husband and brother for their criminal records and accused Nicki of photoshopping her pictures.
Nicki reacted strongly, launching a social media tirade against Megan, making numerous accusations, and encouraging fans to harass Megan. Despite Nicki’s aggressive response, Megan remained calm and classy, not responding until now. In “BOA,” she criticizes Nicki’s social media behavior and substance use, calling her out for spiraling and accusing her of using Photoshop.
Megan is clearly aiming to provoke a reaction from Nicki and Cardi. However, Nicki, currently on a sold-out world tour, seems to have moved on. Cardi, on the other hand, might respond with her next single. Fans have mixed opinions on the situation.
Some believe Megan’s shade at Cardi is unsurprising due to their complicated history involving Megan’s ex, who is now Cardi’s ghostwriter. Others think the fallout might be due to Cardi still associating with Partisan Fontaine, who dissed Megan.
