New York, New York – Cardi B has opened up about her “nasty” online feud with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj – and why she felt the need to go so hard to defend her kids.
The 33-year-old has no regrets about her explosive back-and-forth with Nicki, as she told Paper magazine in a cover story published on Tuesday.
Cardi alluded to the recent feud – which saw both stars take digs at each other’s children – as she told the outlet, “This week I showed the world that I will get the most nasty about mine.”
“I never had to get that nasty for my kids. But I did, and I really feel like a lioness,” she continued.

Within their explosive exchanges, Nicki dragged Cardi’s daughter, Kulture, into the drama as she called the seven-year-old a “roach” and a “monkey,” while the Bronx native accused Nicki of using drugs – which she claimed led to the 42-year-old’s son being “nonverbal.”
Cardi admitted she felt “tested” during the feud but said that it gave her a new sense of confidence in her parenting.
“It just goes to show me how strong I am, and it just goes to show me like, Damn, I will really take it to hell for mines: mentally, physically, anything. And I wouldn’t care,” she said.
The self-proclaimed “mother warrior” will soon have another cub to protect, as Cardi revealed in September that she’s currently pregnant with baby no. 4 – her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
