Cardi B reignited her long-running feud with JT on her latest album, Am I the Drama?, taking direct aim at the City Girls rapper on the track “Magnet” and throwing jabs at Lil Uzi Vert in the process.
It didn’t take long for JT to fire back though. In a since-deleted tweet, JT clowned Cardi and insinuated she has bad hygiene.
“Guitar body ho wasn’t talking about me,” she wrote. “Better be quiet before I tell them the real tea. B#### PH balance will fry a whole fish. YUCK. With that one flow lol.”
Cardi B snapped on JT in the second verse of the song “Magnet,” rapping, “All that dick ridin’, still ain’t get no feature-ass b####/She just mad she got a n#### she be sharin’ bags with/My n#### cheat, but I don’t stick no d##### in his ass, b####/You look a hot mess, easily impressed-ass b####/You never gave looks, you started getting dressed-ass b####/Ricky O the only fashion house you know-ass b####/You should’ve asked me, would’ve took you to the show, lil’ b####.”
The tension between the two artists dates back to 2022, shortly after the release of “Tomorrow 2” and the unraveling of City Girls. The friction has simmered online and in interviews, but Cardi’s new album appears to pour gasoline on the fire.
Cardi also used the album rollout to address Joe Budden, who questioned whether she writes her own lyrics. In response, she posted a behind-the-scenes video from July 2024 showing her crafting the verse for “Magnet.” Alongside the clip, she tweeted, “Don’t give me backhanded 10’s cuz I’ll always be able to prove my s###.”
Cardi B didn’t stop with JT. On the track “Pretty & Petty,” she took aim at BIA, continuing a streak of lyrical call-outs that have become a hallmark of her latest project.
Industry insiders project Am I the Drama? to debut with approximately 95,000 to 105,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, according to early estimates from HITS Daily Double. That would mark one of the strongest opening weeks for a female rapper in 2025.
