Friends or Foes? Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj
There’s an ongoing debate about who is the better artist, Cardi b or Nicki Minaj? Ever since the pop sensation Cardi B has made a huge appearance, Nicki and Cardi have had on on going tension. Nicki and Cardi are the two biggest female rappers in the music industry right now, but there’s only one spotlight. Who takes the spotlight, Nicki or Cardi?
I took matters into my own hands and started asking students around taft what their opinion between those two were, and who they think should take the spotlight.
Kelly explained how “Cardi B is better because she’s more interactive with her fans” Cardi holds many social media accounts just as a way to show her fans her progress. She also interacts with her fans on Instagram’s comment section. Sara Vela said, “I personally believe that Cardi B is better because she has this loving personality and she’s so funny and her music is so much more fun.”
Although some people are team Cardi, others feel that Nicki is a better rapper/artist overall. I asked Destiny Clark what her opinion was about the two artists and here’s what she had to say, “Nicki’s music is better. Not only does she do better collabs, but her music and lyrics are so much better than Cardi’s.” Many people believe that Nicki Minaj lyrics make them feel more empowered. So now we leave the decision up to you, who’s better? Answer the poll down below, or leave a comment for someone to respond to!

Personally, I believe Cardi and Nicki are both terrible rappers who make unappealing music. However, from what I have heard, I enjoy Nicki’s singing and think that puts her way above Cardi B. I cannot comment on their lyrical appeal, but even though I don’t like Nicki Minaj, I would take her music over Cardi B. I would like to compliment the writer of the article on getting input from both fans of Cardi and Nicki for an unbiased article. Good job.

To be honest, I think they are both talented and both make music that lots of people enjoy. In my opinion, I think Nicki Minaj is a better artist because she can express her talent in different ways. She sings and raps and does both great. I do not like listening to Cardi B because her rap just does not sound appealing to me. Her tone of voice bothers me, and her lyrical skill isn’t great. This is just my opinion though and I can see why people like either artists.
