Has Cardi B 'built her career from sympathy and payola' like Nicki Minaj believes?

The Nicki and Cardi public brawl has emerged as the beef of the year, and while we're not taking sides, Nicki's words do ring a few bells
PUBLISHED SEP 11, 2018

Just a day ago, Nicki Minaj decided to break her silence on the very public brawl with her rival, Cardi B. It had started with Cardi claiming Nicki had passed comments about her daughter at the Harpers Bazaar Icon party and ended with Cardi allegedly throwing a shoe at Nicki for the same.

And when the time came for Nicki to share her side of the tale, she did not hold back during her Queen radio interview's eighth episode. She went for Cardi's past as a stripper - but not in a derogatory way. Instead, her allegations were something along the lines of Cardi milking that struggling past too much to acquire a career from 'sympathy and payola.'
