The internet is ablaze once again with speculation about a secret feud between Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. While both artists have previously shut down rumors of beef, fans can’t help but fuel the drama every time the slightest hint of competition emerges. This time, the chatter revolves around… hair. Yes, hair.
It all started when Cardi B shared a video showing her impressive long and healthy locks. Fans immediately flooded social media with praise for the rapper’s hair transformation. But, as with anything in the realm of celebrity culture, the comparisons weren’t far behind. Soon, whispers emerged that Megan Thee Stallion might respond with her own hair flex, suggesting an unspoken rivalry between the two.
As if on cue, a series of photos surfaced from an account claiming to belong to Megan, flaunting her own hair growth journey. Fans pounced, accusing the “Savage” rapper of being in secret competition with her WAP collaborator. Adding fuel to the fire, some users began circulating an old video of Megan and Nicki Minaj discussing Cardi B during Nicki’s highly publicized feud with the Bronx rapper, sparking yet another wave of “team this, team that” debates.
Fans quickly grabbed screenshots of the alleged interaction, using it as evidence of tension between the two. Megan, however, was quick to shut down the rumors. “I did not like no damn stupid ass comment like this,” Megan tweeted. “I don’t even upload my own s*** to my YouTube—my label does. I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYBODY. I don’t like drama. I do not bring other females down. Stop trying to start fake beef.”
Despite Megan’s clarification, fans continued to speculate about a rift.
Fast forward to earlier this year, and the speculation picked up again. Cardi B responded to a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) about album release dates. A fan suggested that Cardi’s long-awaited project needed the perfect timing to perform well. Cardi clapped back, questioning which albums had been successful in the summer while pointing out that autumn and winter releases tend to fare better statistically.
Some fans interpreted Cardi’s response as a subtle dig at Megan’s recent “Megan” album sales, sparking a new round of debate. However, Cardi quickly clarified her stance, tweeting, “Shady what b*tch? It’s the f**king truth albums are not performing as good in the summer as the ones dropping in the other seasons …The music traffic is insane, there’s thousands of songs releasing and you can’t barely get placement for more then 2 weeks because of so many dropping at a time is STATISTICS.”
Still, that didn’t stop fans from assuming there was some hidden tension between the two.
Let’s not forget the undeniable chemistry Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion share in their collaborations. Their smash hit “WAP” became a cultural phenomenon, breaking records and sparking countless memes. Both rappers have publicly supported each other on several occasions, with Megan even thanking Cardi for helping her achieve one of her biggest career moments.
For now, the only thing fueling the feud narrative is social media, but that hasn’t stopped fans from turning every interaction, clapback, or hair post into potential beef.
So, Barbz, Hotties, and Bardi Gang let’s chill and enjoy the music. For now, the alleged “feud” is all just noise.
