Vice President JD Vance has seemingly taken a side in the recently reignited Nicki Minaj and Cardi B feud.
Both Cardi and Nicki have had a long-running spat, which has recurrently flared up on social media over the past few years. Things came to a head in September 2018 when they got into a physical altercation at a Harper’s Bazaar event over alleged “lies” being spread by Minaj.
After supposedly reaching a truce the following month, it seems their beef has kicked off once again after the ‘Pink Friday’ rapper shared a series of posts on X/Twitter, mocking Cardi’s new album ‘Am I The Drama?’.
Later, in a post shared shared to X on Wednesday (December 10), politician JD Vance unexpectedly weighed in, making his feelings on their rivalry clear by simply sharing: “Nicki > Cardi.”

Vance’s message was a response to one of Minaj’s now deleted posts in praise of him. Fan screenshots circulating X show that she’d initially shared a photo of Chucky captioned “Vance > Rants”.

Shared alongside a photo of a smiling 50 Cent, she also posted “Vance > Ants in the pants,” on Thursday (December 11).
Shortly after, she also posted: “The Vance > The Gav Nots,” followed by: “Nothing brings me joy like the Vance memes & knowing he leaned into it like a boss … But make no mistake, Vance is an assassin. Don’t debate him. On anything. Quick as a computer. Maybe quicker.”
It comes at a time where the White House is continually wading into pop culture matters, often using the music of popular artists in campaign videos and provoking strong reactions from social media media.
SZA is the latest to join a huge wave of artists protesting against the White House’s usage of their music in ICE deportation videos. Sabrina Carpenter recently hit out at Trump for using her music in an ICE video, writing: “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda”.
Though the White House took down the offending video, they later used a clip of her SNL performance to soundtrack another ICE video.
Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo attended anti-ICE protests in June, adding that she was “deeply upset” over the “violent deportations of my neighbors under the current administration”. She would also criticise ICE for using her song in a video encouraging self-deportation, writing: “Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda.”
ICE videos using the music of MGMT and The Cure were also removed due to official takedown requests.
