It’s been an explosive 24 hours on social media for Cardi B. After going tit-for-tat with Nicki Minaj on X, Cardi was the subject of a leaked phone conversation with Ice Spice’s manager, James Rosemond Jr.
The alleged audio finds a furious Cardi in a rage, threatening to get violent with Ice. “Why you want to act dumb,” she said. “You don’t know?! I’ma show y’all! I’m not Latto! I’ma beat her the f— up! I’ma knock her the f— out!”
Cardi took to X to put another fire out when she accused Raymond of leaking the call, which he denies doing. Latto and RIOTUSA also caught stray shots in the heat of the moment, and Cardi publicly apologized to Latto, as the duo linked up on the “Errtime (Remix)” last week.
“I was ranting and hot at the moment but I f-k with Latto HEAVY,” she wrote. “I respect everything about her including her team thats so sweet.. AND NOPE! I’m not too prideful to apologize to somebody I really respect so this my public apology and now ima privately buy her a bag.”
Cardi continued: “But wait James… cuz I just know you didn’t only record the beginning of that conversation.. go ahead baby post the whole 11 minute convo when Ice Spice said she was in her feelings all because I said Sexyy deserved a BET Award and she had just won some iHeart award I wasn’t even thinking about.. POST IT ALL!!! You came to bang right?”
Cardi then accused Ice of leaking the phone call, as Ice Spice coincidentally tweeted out a laughing emoji in the midst of Cardi’s back-and-forth with Nicki and also capitalized on the spotlight by previewing her upcoming single “Pretty Privilege.”
“James be foreal and be a man I was in my bedroom by myself… it was only you me and tubby on the call.. so you saying it was tubby,” Cardi B added. “Your artist put a laughing emoji then leaked the convo then posted a trash ass clip of her song in less than a hour… This why you been avoiding the CEO’s of 10k cause you know you did it and you sound like a b—h.”
Rosemond brushed off Cardi’s claims, stating he believed this was part of Cardi’s rollout to continue to drum up interest surrounding her sophomore album, which Cardi couldn’t believe.
“James be forreal your artist had nothing to do with the conversation yesterday,” she replied. “SHE is the one that tweeted that emoji then dropped that call and previewed a song right after.. not the other way around!! Your artist new song is not charting anywhere.. what can you possibly do for my rollout?? The gaslighting is insane.”
Latto is yet to respond to Cardi’s apology, but it’s mass chaos in the female rap world to close out September.
