Lil Kim, Akbar V., JT, and more female artists are making waves in hip-hop. From Akbar V.’s ode to the Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj, to City Girls’ JT’s collaboration with Stunna Girl, these ladies continue to amaze their fans. SOHH, here are the latest updates on these talented musicians. Akbar V. Pays Tribute To […]
It looks like the ladies are beefing, again. Cardi B and Akbar V have had their fair share of issues over the past few months, though things appeared to die down. For the most part, Akbar attempted to use the feud as leverage for her rap career, though that didn’t necessarily work the way she likely hoped for. The explosive feud between the two began when Nicki enlisted Akbar for the “Super Freaky Girl” remix – a huge look for the Atlanta star. However, she took it a step further and decided to take on Nicki’s beef, as well.
The feud later included shots at Offset and his alleged affairs over the years but Cardi B quickly shut her down. The Migos rapper later found himself involved as Akbar brought up his alleged feud with Lil Baby and the 4PF crew. She accused the rapper of blowing up her phone before calling him out for suing Quality Control and Pierre Thomas. The entire thing spun out of control with Cardi later sharing an alleged photo of Akbar performing fellatio on a man.
Cardi B Responds
Just when Cardi B found herself facing backlash for her response to the Dalai Lama’s video, Akbar V issued a tweet that some perceived to be towards Cardi. “You ain’t start not one and I mean not one trend,” Akbar tweeted. Though it was relatively vague, Bardi Gang piled on and called her out for the subs. Some even pointed out that Akbar hasn’t started any trends, either, but she didn’t necessarily fixate on that flaw in her argument.
Eventually, Cardi B fired back in another subliminal tweet. “If i post this video b*tches will be crying,” she wrote. “BUWOOOOOOOOOOOPP.” It didn’t take long for Akbar V to fire back, dragging Offset into the mess, again, and suggesting that she’s in possession of inappropriate videos involving the Migos rapper. “If I show this [movie camera emoji] of hubbbbbyyyyyy,” she wrote with a slew of laughing emojis. So far, it seems like their feud hasn’t escalated any further but we’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding their beef.
After getting her Twitter account suspended in the midst of a nasty feud with Cardi B and her husband, Offset, Akbar V has taken some time to address other past beef that caught her a lot of attention in the media.
During a sit-down on The Progress Report podcast, the mother of five opened up about the 2017 incident during which YSL rapper Young Thug reportedly slapped her across the face in a parking lot, and although it was undeniably a tense moment at the time, she seems to have found peace with the situation now.
“It wouldn’t just like that, we was beefing, me and that boy…” Akbar began. “I done got in fights with all of them. Y’all got to understand, like, this is a family.”
Though she seemed to be having trouble getting words out, the rapper eventually said, “Chile, we done jumped down… We done… It’s family!”
“My little cousin Slug, we done jumped him at the park, like… We are family!” Akbar continued. “We gon’ have disagreements and arguments, I’m never gon’ say like ‘Oh, he beats women,’ and all of that.”
The “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)” collaborator went on to describe Thug – who she reportedly previously hooked up with – as a “good person” with a “good heart,” even with all their past drama.
“I love him,” she said of the currently incarcerated rapper, earning her some backlash down in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comment section.
“Bruh. Nah. Idgah if we really are family. You smack me we enemies! We fighting,” one user wrote. Another added, “Don’t get me wrong, she’s talented, but she want fame sooooooo bad she’s willing to go through anything with big celebrities, girl that’s not family behaviour.”

So let’s look at what the unique artists have been up to this week. Nicki Minaj Gets What She Wants After calling out YouTube for age restrictions on her new music […]
Akbar V. is not letting up on Cardi B. Days after their Twitter war, the Atlanta rapper still has some things to get off her chest. Earlier this week, she shared a snippet of an alleged diss track about the Bronx rapper, stating “It be the ones that don’t know what’s going on that have so much to say. I can really end b**** with like two lines. New music getting ready to drop.”
The track, which spans one-minute and 46 seconds, entitled “Bothered,” comes just days after the two femcees traded insults on social media; dragging each other about everything from record sales to motherhood. As Cardi continues to celebrate the success of her chart topping collaboration “Tomorrow 2” with GloRilla, Akbar unleashes her wrath on the Grammy nominated star, rapping, “She still ugly.”
Last month, the 33-year old rapper joined Nicki Minaj on her controversial track “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix).” Since the success of the record, Akbar has been finding her footing in hip hop game, by any means necessary. Share your thoughts on the new track below.
Quotable Lyrics
I’m pretty in real life, this face don’t need no fillers Keep it a band, keep it a buck, b**** you don’t really know no hitters Why you bothered? Why you bothered? Calling my phone b****, how you get my number?
Akbar V. has more to get off her chest after a Twitter war with Cardi B and Offset earlier this week. On Monday, the Atlanta rapper and the Bronx star traded insults on social media, slamming each other over everything from record sales to parenting skills. The viral battle of words got even more intense when Cardi’s husband, Offset, chimed in to defend himself as well as his wife.
Wrapping up the Twitter exchange, the “WAP” rapper took to Instagram that same night to share a risqué photo of her and Offset cuddled up in their mansion, with the caption, “I fight for my b***hes and I’m fighter over d*** too.” While many thought the caption was a dig at Akbar, the 33-year old Atlanta native, who was featured on Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl,” Remix, couldn’t clap back, as her Twitter account was suspended a day after beefing with Cardi.
But that didn’t stop Akbar from reigniting her beef with the mom of two. On Wednesday (September 29), she shared a snippet of an alleged diss track against Cardi, in which she rapped, “It’s crack, and I smoke b***** like Pookie.” Shortly after, she took to Instagram Live to address the alleged diss track, saying, “It’s up and it’s stuck. Ain’t nothing coming down.”
But the subliminal didn’t end there. Akbar added, “It be the ones that don’t know what’s going on that have so much to say. I can really end b**** with like two lines. New music getting ready to drop.” The untitled diss track comes just days after Cardi prophesied on Twitter, “Let’s guess the next step… a diss track that’s going to be mass bought on iTunes and going to chart on twitter.”
Be on the lookout for Akbar V.’s upcoming track, slated to drop on Friday. Share your thoughts below.
There’s a good chance that the ongoing drama between Akbar V and Cardi B will never end. The beef intensified on Wednesday when Akbar V teased a snippet of what sounds like a diss track on Twitter. It’s a new account — as her last one was suspended — and was verified through her Instagram account.
It’s crack and i smoke bitches like Pookey/ the drum hood 60 in this Glock 40 and that’s word to Tookey pic.twitter.com/xLKUMau0hD
The replies are, of course, mixed and aggressive, whether at Akbar herself or with each other. Some are calling it a flop; others are excited for the tea to get even hotter. You know how it is.
If you’re new here, here’s a recap of how it started: Akbar V is, like Cardi B, a rapper with an origin rooted in the Love & Hip-Hop universe. Hailing from Atlanta, this 33-year-old rapper has had a rough childhood but has been using the exposure from the show to slowly build an audience for her music, partly in order to turn her life around. Over the weekend, Cardi received a ton of attention for featuring on buzzing Memphis rapper GloRilla’s new song “Tomorrow 2.” Akbar V tweeted, “If @chartdata ain’t say it we ain’t believing the CAP,” referring to the song’s hype and the popular account that aggregates album song performance listings from DSPs and Billboard‘s charts.
It only got worse from there: “Count all the times chart data posted u,” Cardi wrote. “I don’t really like the internet games… My dms is open and also the streets!” After lots of Twitter fights, it reached a new level when Cardi shared a video from Akbar’s leaked sex tape. And now here we are.
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Cardi B has experienced several unprecedented wins in her flourishing music career. After making history last year by becoming the first female rapper to achieve a diamond-selling single, the Bronx rapper is still breaking barriers today. Earlier this week, she extended her Apple Music record for most number one’s thanks to her feature on GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2.”
On the legal side of things, Cardi recently scored a huge win in her lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K, winning $1.5 million in punitive damages, $1 million for general damages, and $1,338,753.47 in litigation expenses. Despite the wins, the “WAP” rapper is never afraid to openly speak about her losses.
On Tuesday (September 27), she took to Twitter to share that she missed out on a work opportunity due to her past legal drama. “My stupid decisions from the past caused me to miss out on money now,” she tweeted. “I had a multi-million dollar Call of Duty deal on the table that I couldn’t take because of court. Guys think twice about those quick decisions! Lesson learned.”
This isn’t the first time Cardi spoke about learning her lesson. Earlier this month, the star of two plead guilty to assault charges, related to a fight at a New York strip club in 2018. She spoke on the verdict via Instagram, telling followers, “Part of growing up and maturing is being accountable for your actions.” She continued in a statement, “As a mother, it’s a practice that I am trying to instill in my children, but the example starts with me. I’ve made some bad decisions in my past that I am not afraid to face and own up to. These moments don’t define me and they are not reflective of who I am now.”
Cardi’s post comes on the heels of her Twitter beef with Atlanta rapper Akbar V. No word on whether or not the two have buried the hatchet — however, Akbar’s Twitter account was suspended less than a day after her online altercation with the star.
The internet was ablaze from morning until evening thanks to Cardi B and Akbar V’s epic blowout. The two women haven’t had much public contact with one another, but after Akbar landed herself a feature on Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Freaky Girl (Queens Mix),” she soon found her name being entangled with Minaj’s former foe.
There are some who have alleged that for days, Akbar has been subliminally shading Cardi with posts until finally, the Bronx rapper bit back.
The explosive fallout was witnessed in real-time by fans and admirers of both women. Cardi even shared a look at a sex tape of Akbar while Akbar countered by involving Offset in the drama. After she fired off a few insults, the Migos star jumped online to set her straight, denying allegations that he called her with angry messages.
In the follow-up, people noticed today that Akbar’s Twitter account has been suspended. This has caused all kinds of speculative reports and posts, as people weighed if Cardi deserved to be suspended, as well. Others suggested that Cardi’s team is in cahoots with the powers that be.
It is unclear if Akbar will receive her account back, but this isn’t the first time she’s dealt with matters like this.
