Cardi B Shuts Down Rumors Of Being An 'Industry Plant' As Nicki Minaj Teases New Album

Cardi B Speaks Out on 'Industry Plant' Allegations

Cardi B is setting the record straight on rumors that have swirled for years, claiming she's an "industry plant" designed to shake up the hip hop scene. During a candid chat on Wednesday's episode of Call Her Daddy, the chart-topping rapper addressed the speculation head-on, asserting that her success is owed to talent and determination – and not part of any master plan to dethrone her rivals.

While she didn't name-drop Nicki Minaj, the context was unmistakable. The whispers of her being an industry pawn have lingered ever since Kanye West, in a leaked video clip, suggested that Cardi was placed by the "Illuminati" to edge out Nicki. Cardi emphasized that clashes in the industry are sometimes inevitable, noting, "sometimes people just don't get along with each other," without implying any larger conspiracy against her peers.

The Backstory: Cardi vs. Nicki

The tension between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj is hardly news to fans. Their rivalry hit a boiling point during the 2018 New York Fashion Week when the "Bodak Yellow" star famously hurled a shoe at Nicki. Despite these high-profile clashes, Cardi insists she's not out to sabotage anyone's career.

Adding fuel to the fire, Cardi's latest album, Am I The Drama, features pointed jabs at several industry figures, including BIA, JT, and even her estranged husband Offset, highlighting her readiness to call out those who've wronged her.

Nicki Minaj Teases Upcoming Release

As Cardi B clears the air, Nicki Minaj is stirring anticipation for her next musical offering. The "Starships" singer recently took to social media to hint at her upcoming album, cryptically teasing fans with a date: "3.27.26." While details remain under wraps, fans are eager to see what Nicki has in store.

“I was destined to be a famous rapper – no one signed me to take down someone else,” Cardi B declared, emphasizing her belief in her own path.

With Cardi addressing the rumors and Nicki gearing up for her new project, the hip hop world is buzzing with anticipation for what's next.
