Cardi B Fires Back at Nicki Minaj Over 'Backhanded Apology': 'Keep My Child's Name Out Your Mouth'
Cardi B has responded to Nicki Minaj’s recent comments about her daughter, Kulture, calling out the rapper for what she described as a “backhanded apology.”
Cardi B slams Nicki Minaj for a “backhanded apology” involving her daughter Kulture, urging the rapper to stop bringing children into their feud.
Nicki Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, October 2, to publicly apologize for previous remarks involving Kulture. Her post began with a message directed at the child, saying, “Dear Kulture, truth is: I did all of this for a bigger purpose and one day you’ll understand. You’re a cute child & lots of kids have cute little funny looking gums before they grow into all of their features.” Minaj continued, “One day you’ll see this, so I have to say: I apologize. As a child of God & QUEEN of my community who look to me for integrity. You’re an innocent child & don’t deserve any of this.”

The apology, however, didn’t come without controversy. Minaj appeared to take another jab at Cardi in the same post, writing, “One day your mother, aunt & many more will be brought to their knees for what they’ve said AND TRIED to do to my young prophet/beautiful boy.”
Cardi B quickly responded on X with her own letter addressed to Minaj’s son, Papa Bear, mirroring the structure of Minaj’s post. The “WAP” hitmaker expressed frustration over the mention of children in their ongoing dispute, emphasizing that she wanted to end that part of their feud.
“Don’t give my child no backhanded apology,” Cardi wrote. “Keep my child name out your mouth cause imma always take you where you don’t wanna go about mine. Honest truth this goin back and forth about kids is really draining my energy. I don’t wanna keep mentioning kids, it feels very nasty and dark but the energy you keep giving my kids imma resend back to messenger.”
The tension between the artists shows no signs of easing, as the feud continues to spill over on social media.
Cardi B recently released her long-awaited album Am I the Drama? on September 19, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 200,000 units sold. Nicki Minaj, meanwhile, is preparing to launch her next project, Gag City, set to arrive on March 27.
