Nicki Minaj clapped back at Cardi B fans after they claimed the Pink Friday creator photoshopped images in promotion for her “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” music video. “I know this lady’s editing team is sick of her,” one Twitter user wrote.

“The fact that bardi gang literally takes time out of their day to photoshop nicki looking SKINNIER just so they can drag her is BEYOND pathetic lmaooo,” one Barb clapped back in Nicki’s defense. “It’s giving obsessed, unemployed and obese sitting behind a keyboard like you guys are so embarrassing hahahahaha.”

Nicki responded to the photoshop claims with her own tweets.

“Photoshop them bars,” she wrote, before adding: “Photoshop them sales.”

The latter tweet was a retweet of a Nicki fan page that showed that her Queen Radio: Volume 1 compilation had spent 25 weeks on the Billboard 200, extending its run as the longest-charting female rap album released in 2022.

Nicki followed up those tweets with another firey one.

“2023 not the year to play wit ONIKA TANYA MARAJ PETTY RED RUBY DA MF SLEEZE CHUN-Li NICKI MINAJ NICKI DA NINJA NICK DA HARAJUKU BARBIE,” she tweeted. “40. Yup. 40’s wit 30 clips. FN’s wit da switch.”

Nicki’s age was used as ammo in her back and forth with Latto back in October when the 777 creator called her a “Super Freaky Grandma,” in reference to her song “Super Freaky Girl” and later a “40-year-old bully” which later became a trending hashtag.

“Age shaming when you look like YOU the one pushing 40,” Minaj fired back. “Age shaming but was BEGGING for a feature. Imagine what dem genes gon do in 10 years[.] Oh so you in your 20’s. Oh ok then. At least it match your album sales. You sold 20K right? Mad u flopped. That’s why u rlly mad.”

As for Nicki’s “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” video, it’s set to debut later this month following the single’s release on March 3.
