Things got tense—and fast—when Nicki Minaj and YouTuber Armon Wiggins faced off during a live session that left fans with their jaws on the floor.
The duo, who once seemed to vibe, were at each other’s throats over critiques that crossed the line for Nicki. The spark? Wiggins’ not-so-subtle comments about her decision to drop a track with the late Juice WRLD, reportedly a spin on “All Girls Are The Same.” Nicki wasn’t having it and took aim at Wiggins’ music career, lobbing “trash” as her insult of choice. Wiggins laughed it off, but Minaj’s tone stayed sharp.
But it looks like Nicki isn’t the only one Wiggins has riled up lately. Cardi B recently took to Twitter Spaces to vent her frustration, saying, “I’m not gonna keep letting somebody think that they can disrespect me, they can bully me and they can keep trying me… ‘Cause if you don’t respect me being a fing adult, that means I gotta motherfing treat you how I motherfing treat people in the motherfing streets.”
For those unfamiliar, Armon Wiggins has built his platform dissecting female rap feuds and drama, so it’s no shock when things come back to bite him. This isn’t his first online showdown; he played a major part in the drama between DJ Akademiks and Yung Miami earlier this year, sparking yet another viral moment. But if you’re going to throw shade at rap royalty, expect it to get a little scorching.
At the end of the day, both Nicki Minaj and Armon Wiggins have carved out their lanes—one as an iconic rapper, the other as a YouTube commentator who stirs the pot. But wouldn’t it be more productive for them to focus on their respective hustles? Nicki has plenty of hits to celebrate, and her fans are eagerly waiting for more.
