Here’s How Cardi B Responded to Speculation That She Shaded Nicki Minaj in Maternity Photos

Cardi B is denying that she was trying to throw shade at Nicki Minaj in a maternity photo shoot.

The “WAP” rapper, who is expecting her third child with Offset, shared photos on social media Sunday (Sept. 1) of her bare baby bump while sitting on a motorcycle in front of a shuttered storefront spray painted with graffiti. Some online spectators took it a step further by questioning whether the graffiti art was meant to diss Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender who was convicted of attempted rape in the first degree in 1995. “First of all we literally picked a random street because paparazzi was hounding us everywhere.. this was supposed to be my original first picture and we had to edit the photos in minutes because the shoot got leaked,” she wrote on X Monday (Sept. 2).
