A recent spat between Akbar V and Cardi B resulted in the deletion of Akbar’s Twitter account. As the Twitter war continues to trend, many ask: Who is Akbar V? The recent back and forth between Cardi B and Akbar V has generated a lot of buzz, leaving many wondering who she is. For starters, […]
The post Who Is Akbar V? appeared first on SOHH.com.
As she rang in the last week of September, Cardi B came across a shady tweet from Atlanta-based rapper Akbar V, leading her to subliminally clap back. At the time, the mother of two likely had no idea of the storm of drama that would proceed in the following hours.
It’s no secret that Cardi’s star has shone brighter than Akbar’s for most of their careers, especially since Bardi won Grammy for Best Rap Album with her debut project. However, Akbar’s felt especially extra braggadocious recently after landing a feature alongside names like BIA and JT on Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix).”
The Barbz and the Bardi Gang have long pinned their favorite artists against one another. Now that Akbar made it clear where she stands in the battle between Cardi and Nicki, it’s not exactly surprising to see her feud with the “Be Careful” artist, though we didn’t foresee things getting this catty.
Akbar’s initial tweet from yesterday’s blowout read, “If @chartdata ain’t say it we ain’t believing the CAP.” The light Twitter jab came just as Cardi B and GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2” hit #1 on Apple Music. The tweet led many to believe that she was throwing shade at Bardi. “Count all the times Chart Data posted [you],” the Grammy Award-winning rap diva clapped back.
Despite the fact that the two hadn’t actually @’d each other yet, Cardi moved the feud offline. Cardi gave her new nemesis a call – something Akbar V clearly wasn’t pleased about. “Who gave this ho Cardi B my number?” she asked in another now-unavailable post. “Gotta be one of y’all weird ass hoes?”
Clearly, the phone conversation didn’t solve much. The Invasion of Privacy artist was back to complaining about “hoes that throw rocks and hide their hands” by Monday mid-afternoon (September 26). “Been subtweeting me for months and now you wanna make it about another woman as a shield. Stand on your shit!!!” the “Hot Sh*t” rapper urged Akbar.
After some urging from Cardi, the “Real Atlanta” artist took her foe’s advice. The two began engaging in an all-out Twitter war, pulling out all the stops. The two traded bars regarding such parenting techniques and shared screenshots from previously leaked sex tapes.
“See the difference between me and [you is] I had n***as wanting to put babies in me while I was in the jungle,” Playboy‘s Creative Director wrote to Akbar V. “But I said to myself I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was raised in, let alone ABANDON THEM.”
As things became increasingly heated, the “WAP” hitmaker took things to a place that some would describe as “too far.” She shared footage from Ak’s previously leaked sex tape on her social media page. “Tell me that you love me,” the Georgia native can be heard requesting of her partner in the clip – a line that Cardi has gone on to make fun of incessantly.
Akbar first expressed anger and disappointment at her fellow rapper’s decision to post the clip (especially since her children might see it again). However, internet sleuths showed Cardi that she previously used an image from the sex tape as cover art. The revelation caused the Cardi Tries host to question the sincerity of Akbar’s desperate plea for the video’s removal.
It was bad enough that the two women felt the need to bring their children into their beef. When the “Female Kanye” brought CB’s husband, Offset, into the conversation, things really started to pop off.
“Y’all check on Cardi’s hubby, [he] keep getting caught cheating cause her head trash and p*ssy week,” Akbar taunted. “P*ssy weak? Baby, you the one [with] five baby daddies,” Cardi clapped back.
“You gave Thug head and the head wasn’t even good enough for him to stick his d*ck in you. He told you [you] gotta lose weight first. You lost the weight and [he] STILL DIDN’T F*CK YOU [crying laughing emojis].”
After Offset’s name unwillingly entered the chat, he felt compelled to share some words with Akbar. “Somebody check on Offset, he still ain’t got his chain back from #4PF,” she wrote.
If you’re not familiar, AV was referring to the “Ric Flair Drip” artist’s apparent feud with Lil Baby, which most recently made headlines just last month as Baby seemingly threw shade at Set over his lawsuit aimed at Quality Control over his artist rights.
The Migos member claims that he bought himself out of his deal with the label at the beginning of 2021. Subsequently, P and Quality Control released a statement to Rolling Stone denying his claims. “Not only are the accusations in this lawsuit false, they are totally detached from reality. Offset remains a part of QC,” it read.
Seeing Lil Baby’s name associated with his clearly didn’t please the 30-year-old rapper as he hopped on Twitter to aggressively lash out at Akbar.
The mother of five alleged that she received a call from the father of five, but he quickly denied it. “Bitch that’s not my number,” ‘Set clapped back. “Why would I call you when bitch already handling you lame ass hoe?”
“Offset calling talking bout [you] shouldn’t have put me in it n*gga, all I got to do is make one call. Three letters, #4PF. [You] gonna shit on yourself like [you] did behind compound,” Akbar alleged in reference to a rumor that the “Bad & Boujee” rapper was attacked by Lil Baby’s crew in 2020.
From the sounds of things, the Atlanta-based artist plans to craft a diss track, which Cardi teased will only “chart on Twitter.” Seeing as Akbar’s account is still suspended, though, it’s unlikely that even that will happen anytime soon.
For the husband and wife’s part, they shut down the “Cold Summer” artists’ claims about their past fidelity struggles the best way they know how – with some NSFW Instagram snaps.
“I fight for my bitches and I’m fighting over d*ck too,” the Hustlers actress captioned the photo dump, which finds her looking as glamorous as ever in a backless black dress, showing off her bodacious behind and colorful tattoo as she leans in close to her longtime partner.

Rap fans logging into Twitter this week have been confronted with trending topics including Cardi B and Akbar V and might be confused to learn that the two rappers have been beefing for the past 24 hours. For one thing, who is Akbar V? Why does she have a problem with Cardi B? And what does Nicki Minaj have to do with all this? Here’s a quick primer to help you get up-to-date.
For the uninitiated, 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 to turn her life around. She currently has a little under 18,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a little over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. While none of her songs has yet broken the million-streams mark on any platform, she recently received a big look when Nicki Minaj tapped her to appear on the “Super Freaky Girl” “Queen Mix” alongside JT of City Girls, BIA, Katie Got Bandz, and Maliibu Miitch.
Over the weekend, Cardi received a ton of attention for featuring on buzzing Memphis rapper GloRilla’s new song “Tomorrow 2.” While the song had plenty of fans, it’s also found its detractors — one of whom is Akbar V. The Atlanta rapper 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 seemed to some — including Cardi — that the tweet was meant to shade the supposed success of “Tomorrow 2,” since the track had been released in close proximity to “Super Freaky Girl.”
After catching wind of the tweet, Cardi made a few comments of her own. “Count all the times chart data posted u,” she wrote. “I don’t really like the internet games… My dms is open and also the streets!” Cardi apparently reached out to Akbar privately to inquire about the tweet, but Akbar clearly didn’t feel like settling the matter behind the scenes. In a string of tweets of her own, she complained that someone “gave this ho Cardi B my number” and shared a screenshot of their text exchange, accusing Cardi of threatening her.
Count all the times chart data posted u
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 26, 2022
I don’t really like the internet games …My dms is open and also the streets!
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 26, 2022
Akbar then went on a long tirade, proclaiming her fealty to Nicki Minaj — with whom Cardi has had a long history of friction — denouncing Cardi’s success. “@NICKIMINAJ is the #QueenOfRap and @iamcardib u are the peasant ho ..” she wrote. When Cardi made a pointed comment about taking care of her kids — a shot at Akbar, who has five children of her own — things escalated into full-blown conflict. When Akbar replied, “U was in the strip clubs i was in the streets ..how is it any difference… you still talking but bringing my kids into it,” Cardi let her have it, contrasting their situations. “I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was I raised in let alone ABANDONED THEM ..u had that choice to make as well not once but FIVE TIMES,” she wrote.
See the difference between me &u I had Nikkas wanting to put babies In me while I was in the jungle but I said to myself I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was I raised in let alone ABANDONED THEM ..u had that choice to make as well not once but FIVE TIMES https://t.co/auEacrbpUo
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 26, 2022
The back-and-forth continued with a slew of responses from Akbar, to which Cardi replied by sharing a video from Akbar’s leaked sex tape. “Now my kids got to watch this again @iamcardib u dead wrong for uploading that porn stuff about me again u scoop so low but kool,” the Atlanta rapper replied. “U just threw me back into anxiety.” Cardi deleted the tweet, but later retweeted a notice from a fan that Akbar had used a screenshot from the video as a single cover on DSPs. “WAIT A DAMN MINUTE…she lied to me?” Cardi wondered.
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE …she lie to me? https://t.co/elAnEppIkd
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 26, 2022
The two rappers continued to trade insults into the evening, with Akbar accusing Cardi of having her husband Offset call her to and daring Cardi to take it to the street. Cardi exasperatedly predicted the next steps: “Let’s guess the next step …a diss track that’s going to be mass bought on iTunes and going to chart on twitter… I should of never argue with this deadbeat , I should of just left it at this.”

They might still be going, but at some point, Akbar’s Twitter account was suspended for unknown reasons. Incidentally, it’s not the first time her account was suspended. Meanwhile, Cardi B has gone back to promoting “Tomorrow 2,” while Nicki Minaj, the apparent motivation behind the whole Twitter spat, went back to promoting her own new video for “Likkle Miss (Remix)” featuring Skeng after going off on YouTube for age-restricting it.
It looks like one of the contestants in yesterday’s (September 26) Twitter feud was forced to bow out. Cardi B and Atlanta rapper Akbar V were the trending topics of the day after what started as a subtweet turned into an explosive argument. Insults were traded, sex tapes were posted, and now, Akbar V’s account has apparently been suspended, although it’s unclear why or whether it was voluntary.
Lmaooo not Akbar got suspended. Don’t play with Cardi B then you have to deal with bardigang

The two rappers spent an hour or so on Monday going back and forth, culminating in Akbar crying foul after Cardi posted an explicit video of her on the timeline. However, after Cardi had deleted the video in response to Akbar’s protests, fans in the comments pointed out that Akbar herself had already capitalized on the tape, using a still from it as a single cover (to be clear, this doesn’t make Cardi less wrong). It’s a whole mess, but it looks like Akbar won’t be able to continue the beef — at least, not on Twitter — for a while.
In some fans’ views, Akbar was lashing out at Cardi as a proxy for Nicki Minaj, with whom Cardi had another well-publicized feud a few years ago and Akbar recently collaborated. Interestingly, while all this was going on, Nicki was beefing with YouTube for age-restricting her booty-filled new video for “Likkle Miss” featuring Skeng.
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
While the feud between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj has cooled down since they sent footwear flying in 2018, it looks like Cardi now has a beef brewing with Akbar V, an up-and-coming rapper who received Nicki’s co-sign via the “Super Freaky Girl” remix. Like Cardi, Akbar V came up through an installment of the reality show Love & Hip-Hop, and like Cardi, she isn’t afraid to mix it up with rivals on public platforms like Twitter. However, their Twitter feud has now escalated, with Cardi sharing what appears to be a leaked sex tape of Akbar’s.
While it’s always a little hard to tell where these things get started, it appears that Akbar felt disrespected by one of Cardi’s recent tweets. After Cardi asserted, “I take care of kids ..since the day they came out my p*ssy,” Akbar took it personally. The Atlanta rapper quoted Cardi’s tweet, adding her own two cents. “You was able to baby,” she wrote. “u … i wasn’t but i got all of mine now …see the difference between me and u i was really in that jungle t hugging with real n$$$as….u forgot u had kids when u got some money ?… u was just selling it to any man that ran up on u cricket teeth..”
You was able to baby…u … i wasn’t but i got all of mine now …see the difference between me and u i was really in that jungle t hugging with real n$$$as….u forgot u had kids when u got some money ?… u was just selling it to any man that ran up on u cricket teeth.. https://t.co/qD8sbyEwO3

Akbar continued badmouthing Cardi on her timeline until Cardi started quote-tweeting her, reminding both rappers’ followers, “I came from The Bronx ..Highbridge to be exact ….clearly ain’t forget since I’m wasting my time arguing with you.” She also posted a video, allegedly of Akbar getting beaten up by another Atlanta native, as well as another… shall we say, less kosher one. Cardi deleted the video when Akbar wrote “u dead wrong for that uploading that porn stuff about me again u scoop so low but kool,” but seemed appalled to learn that the Atlanta rapper had used a still from the video for a single cover.
I came from The Bronx ..Highbridge to be exact ….clearly ain’t forget since I’m wasting my time arguing with you https://t.co/waAwbXa6oT

Unmmmm wasn’t you bragging about it when the video first came out … talkin bout you got good head ?Anyways imma respect your kids and take it down https://t.co/LFiTV7d1ei

Meanwhile, Nicki, who appeared to have conveniently logged in just in time for the fireworks to promote her own new single, “Likkle Miss (Remix)” with dancehall artist Skeng, switched strategies midstream, instead prompting fans to tweet the #QueenMix hashtag and retweeting fans’ praise of Akbar V. Whether her intention was to defuse the situation or stoke the fire, it’s clear that fans are still choosing sides and goading the mess instead of realizing that they could just as easily stream both “Super Freaky Girl” and “Tomorrow 2.” Sadly, the patriarchy wins again.
Nicki Minaj surprised fans with a remix to her Hot 100 chart topping singe, “Super Freaky Girl,” on Friday. The Young Money Queen teased the track on Thursday, before its official release, but there was no preview of what was to come from the collaborators. Let’s just say they did not disappoint.
Following Nicki’s original verse, JT set the tone from start to finish with notable bars such as:
Neck frozed all year, cold summer
I'ma bad bitch, get him for his pin numbers
Following JT verse, Bia a.k.a Barbia spits her bars with notable lines such as:
I'm so bad I could touch myself again
Fuck myself like the Clermont twins (Uh)
He wanna fuck on all my friends (Uh)
I'm too rich for an OnlyFans
Katie Got Bandz represents New York with a hard-hitting verse and notable bars:
He like 'em freaky, pussy squeaky
Give me that tongue, make it leaky
I make it wet, nickname Fiji
Akbar V is fourth to take the mic with a number of quotable. She even gets repetition from Nicki herself when she says: “No gag reflex, I ain’t never gonna choke.”
From “I’m cool J take a LL” to “Can’t mention the freak without AK,” Akbar V shows she can captivate listeners with a quick 16.
Malibu Mitch tees up the pitch before Nicki’s verse saying lines such as:
B**ches on my body 'cause it's follow the leader (Uh) Ni**as on my body 'cause I'm hot like a heater
Nicki Minaj rounds off the Queen Mix in typical Queen fashion.
I ain't talkin' Spanish when I say, "Señorita"
Told that bitch ghost writer, "Yo, send your reader"
While each femcee is impressive with their bars, fans took to Twitter to deem Akbar V and JT’s verses as the top tier amongst the featured guest.
JT:ate omgg
BIA: cute little verse
Katie got Bandz: loving the likkle flow
Akbar V: the best verse (that LL Cool J bar)
Malibu Mitch: cute verse, love her flow
Nicki Minaj: her last line made me gag, the way she dragged out the words. Also the senorita/send ur reader: GAGGED!— 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐈𝐄 (@_BIG_BARBIE) September 9, 2022

Akbar V is grabbing the ears, eyes and attention spans of rap fans since the release of the “Super Freaky Girl” (Queen Mix) on Friday. She certainly has an avid supporter in the Queen, Nicki Minaj, and the feeling is mutual.
The Love & Hip-Hop ATL reality star took to Twitter over the weekend to join #NickisTeaParty and fired off a couple of public service announcements.
“Just so we clear if u a opp of @NICKIMINAJ or foxy brown then u are a opp of mine I’m done being cordial,” she started, follow by multiple exclamation marks for emphasis. “don’t care too much bout any of y’all anyway … i know y’all don’t really like me …. And I’m ok with that just please stop pretending.”
Akbar V posted a 26-second snippet of a potential “SFG” follow-up. On the snippet, she raps:
I know these bi*ches going dutch and you could never check me
The bar certainly caught Nicki’s attention as she complemented the song. Then followed up shortly after with a quoted retweet of the aforementioned lyrics.
I know these btchs goin dutchy u could never check me. Yikes
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 12, 2022
Akbar V expressed her gratitude after her “idol” admired the track by quoting her lyrics.
Fans filled up her mentions asking Akbar V to drop the track. Now it is only a matter of time before its official release.
Was Nicki’s approval a potential sign for another collaboration? With the underlying mutual support between the two over the weekend, the possibilities are endless.
Minaj also teased her new track with Bleu entitled, “Love In The Way,” which is set to release this upcoming Friday. Nicki hinted at the track last month with an IG story post as well.
