Kanye West Crashes Out on Cardi B, Disses Beyoncé & Jay-Z’s Kids + Nicki Minaj’s Early Jealousy EXPOSED

Kanye West is at it again, and this time, his latest rant has the entire industry in an uproar. Over the past few days, Ye has gone on a wild Twitter spree, calling out everyone from Cardi B and Nicki Minaj to Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar. But the biggest shocker? His comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s kids, which have left fans stunned.

Let’s break down the madness, starting with Kanye’s take on female rap and the so-called “replacement” cycle.

Kanye West Says Cardi B Replaced Nicki Minaj?

Kanye made waves when he tweeted that Cardi B replaced Nicki Minaj, sparking immediate backlash from fans. He went on to claim that the industry has a cycle where every female rapper gets replaced:

“Cardi B replaced Nicki Minaj. Megan Thee Stallion replaced Cardi B. Doja Cat replaced Megan. Doechii replaced Doja. It’s an endless cycle. Meanwhile, Lizzo was pushed to promote obesity.”

This statement alone set the internet on fire. First of all, how did Cardi “replace” Nicki when Nicki is still at the top of her game? Nicki Minaj dropped Pink Friday 2 with minimal promotion, went on a sold-out world tour, and is still dominating after nearly two decades in the game. Meanwhile, Cardi hasn’t even released a second album in seven years.

The irony? Kanye himself once praised Nicki Minaj as one of the greatest rappers ever, even admitting that she outrapped everyone on his song Monster. So what changed?

And as expected, Cardi B indirectly responded to Kanye’s claim, tweeting:

“7 years, 1 album, still being the topic. Still being asked about my music. I’m anointed, and I have a real fan base.”

If Cardi’s fan base is so real, where are the album sales? Where’s the tour? Where’s the impact? Because last time we checked, her music isn’t moving like it used to, and Kanye even threw shade at that when he mentioned Megan Thee Stallion replacing her. That must have stung.

Nicki Minaj’s Early Industry Hate EXPOSED

On top of his wild industry rants, Kanye unintentionally resurfaced old conversations about Nicki Minaj and how much hate she faced early on. In a surprising turn of events, Babs Bunny from Making the Band came forward and admitted what many fans already knew—female rappers were jealous of Nicki Minaj’s rise.

In an interview, Babs kept it real, saying:

“There were a lot of female rappers who were upset about Nicki Minaj. And I was one of them. I was mad. Because it felt like she took over everything. Even if you tried to do what she was doing, you weren’t getting in. There was no room.”

This level of honesty is rare, but it proves what Nicki Minaj fans have been saying for years. The industry didn’t embrace Nicki with open arms—they fought against her, dismissed her talent, and even tried to box her in as a gimmick.

And it wasn’t just Babs. There was another female rapper at an Underground Music Awards event back in the 2000s who openly disrespected Nicki, saying:

“Nicki Minaj ain’t hip-hop. She’s just eye candy.”

Fast forward to today, and that same “eye candy” is still dominating while many of her critics have disappeared. Meanwhile, Cardi B, who had the full support of the industry and a massive machine behind her, never received even half of the resistance Nicki faced.

Kanye Takes It Too Far—Disses Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s Kids

As if dragging Nicki, Cardi, and the rest of the industry wasn’t enough, Kanye crossed a serious line when he made comments about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids.

Ye tweeted (and quickly deleted):

“Why don’t we ever see Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s two youngest children? Because they’re [REDACTED].”

That level of disrespect is insane. You can have problems with Jay-Z and Beyoncé as adults, but bringing their kids into it? Completely unacceptable.

And to make matters worse, Kanye didn’t delete the tweet because he felt bad—he deleted it because he was scared of getting canceled. He admitted:

“I deleted it because I don’t want my account shut down, not because I regret it.”

So not only was his comment disgusting, but it was also calculated. Kanye knew exactly what he was doing.

Kanye vs. Drake & Kendrick Lamar—More Industry Shots Fired

Ye didn’t stop there. He also threw shots at Drake and Kendrick Lamar, calling Drake a fraud and saying Kendrick was just an industry puppet.

Regarding Drake, Kanye referenced old rumors about him allegedly being with Kim Kardashian, hinting that his dislike for Drake runs deeper than just music.

“Drake out here dressing like a [REDACTED] in Australia, but y’all still call him the GOAT? Make it make sense.”

And when it came to Kendrick, Ye claimed:

“Kendrick was never that guy. The industry just used him when they needed someone ‘conscious.’”

This is wild because just a few years ago, Kanye loved Kendrick’s artistry. But now, after Not Like Us had the whole world screaming against Drake, Kanye suddenly isn’t rocking with him anymore? The switch-up is real.

Final Thoughts—What’s Really Going On With Kanye?

At this point, Kanye’s outbursts feel less like a genius making bold statements and more like someone spiraling.

Yes, he has a history of speaking his mind. Yes, he’s made some undeniable points in the past. But this latest rant? He’s lost the plot.

Dragging Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and female rap into his chaos makes no sense. Trying to push a “replacement” narrative when Nicki is still one of the biggest artists out? Wrong move. And attacking Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids? Unforgivable.

The question is: Why now?

Some speculate that this meltdown started because Playboi Carti didn’t put Kanye on his new album. If that’s true, it makes this entire rant even more ridiculous.

One thing is clear: Kanye West is crashing out in real time. And the industry is watching.
