Last week was nothing but notes - the VMAs on Monday started the week off with many feeling the *real* shade between Cardi B, Nicki, and Travis Scott - well, between Cardi and Nicki and Nicki and Travis.
Here's the backbeef - Cardi and Nicki have been at it for a while now, beginning with their “MotorSport” collab with Migos. Due to scheduling conflicts, the two female rappers could not film on the same days, thus forcing them to shoot their respective parts separately. It is *alleged* that Nicki rewrote her verse with ex-beau Saffaree after hearing Cardi’s part earlier in the song. In an interview with Beats 1 Radio, she wanted to clear the air regarding the "feud" with Quavo. In an exchange of texts with the Migos member, he stated that he would back her in the squabble “if [she] was his girl”. OUCH!

But back to the *main* Cardi/Nicki feud: Nicki stated that she “had the stats” to prove that she does not have to “buy” her number ones. Cardi stated that she will not “be discredited” for her lyricism and her hard work, proving itself on the charts and stage. To top off her night with the "Best New Artist of the Year" Award, along with winning both "Best Collaboration" ("Dinero") and "Song of the Summer" ("I Like It"), she made a dig at Minaj once again, stating that her fans' devotion "can't be bought, b*tch!" as she made a face. Sounds like the feud is far from over; both do not directly reference each other but they both seem to get under each other’s skin. In the meantime I’ll be waiting for their collabo...
If you wanna watch the FULL speech, check out this video, especially at 2:00!
Take a look!

Travis and Nicki's beef have been on everyone's lips even before the awards show. In a series of Insta stories and tweets, Nicki called out Travis' team for "buying" his #1 album spot. While this may be true, the "stats" are there, Nicki; I have nothing but love for your music and undeniable talent, but the proof is in the charts! And it was reported that Travis and baby mother Kylie walked the red carpet separately to avoid the "Chun Li" rapper, taking their sits when she went backstage to prepare for her *killer* performance at the show! In an interview after the show, Minaj revealed that she still "loves" Kylie and that she has no problem with her...

Although on Friday, she asked Jenner's ex-beau Tyga on her radio station about the stance of their relationship, to which he said "we cool" and that he and Travis have no beef whatsoever. Sounds a little to good to be true, don't you think?!

| Travis Scott's Astroworld album cover |
Both you and Travis' albums were highly anticipated and your fans are devoted to you. Your album may have had the spot behind Astroworld, but that does not mean you're second best. And Travis - I cannot wait to see you in Philly December 1st!
