Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj has issued an apology to Kulture Kiari, the daughter of American rapper Cardi B, after previously mocking the child with derogatory names such as “ugly,” “roach,” and “monkey.”
The apology comes on the heels of yet another heated exchange between Minaj and Cardi B, whose long-running feud has often spilled into personal territory. Both artists have, in the past, dragged each other’s families into their disputes.
Addressing Kulture directly, Minaj wrote:
“Dear Kulture, truth is: I did all of this for a bigger purpose and one day you’ll understand. You’re a cute child & lots of kids have cute little funny looking gums before they grow into all of their features. One day you’ll see this, so I have to say: I apologize. As a child of God & QUEEN of my community who look to me for integrity. You’re an innocent child & don’t deserve any of this.”
While Minaj’s message struck a conciliatory note toward Kulture, she also appeared to take a swipe at Cardi B, adding:
“One day your mother, aunt & many more will be brought to their knees for what they’ve said AND TRIED to do to my young prophet/beautiful boy. Take care my darling. This isn’t who I am.”
The apology has sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans welcomed the gesture as overdue, while others accused Minaj of undermining her own apology by inserting fresh jabs at Cardi B.
The public feud between both rappers, which dates back years, has been marked by physical altercations, diss tracks, and repeated online confrontations — making peace between the two still seem far out of reach.
