Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s long-running feud has been one of the most infamous rivalries in hip-hop, marked by social media jabs and a physical altercation at a New York Fashion Week party in 2018. Their back-and-forth has gone beyond music, with personal insults and family matters being dragged into the spotlight, making their feud about more than just artistry. Recently, Nicki Minaj made a negative comment about Cardi’s daughter. Cardi B fired back with comments about Minaj’s son. Here’s what to know about Cardi and Minaj’s kids as the feud continues.
Cardi B shares 3 kids with Offset and has another baby on the way with Stefon Diggs
Cardi B may be one of the biggest stars in hip-hop, but at home she’s simply “mom” to her three children with rapper Offset. Over the years, the Grammy winner has shared sweet glimpses of her family while also protecting her kids’ privacy. From lavish birthday parties to heartfelt confessions about her fears as a parent, Cardi has given fans an inside look at how she balances fame and motherhood.
Kulture Kiari Cephus was born on July 10, 2018, and quickly became a fan favorite on social media thanks to Cardi’s adorable posts. Cardi has admitted she wants Kulture to have opportunities she never had growing up, from swimming lessons to arts and music activities. Despite the occasional criticism about “spoiling” her daughter with luxury gifts, Cardi insists she wants Kulture to enjoy life while staying grounded.
In September 2021, Cardi and Offset welcomed their second child, Wave Set Cephus. While Cardi kept his name and photos private for several months, Wave has since appeared in family snapshots that show his playful personality.
Cardi’s third child, Blossom, arrived on September 7, 2024, shortly after she filed for divorce from Offset. The rapper revealed her baby girl’s unique name publicly in 2025, making headlines across the entertainment world.
Cardi is currently pregnant with her fourth child and first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. She’s due in February 2026, right before she heads out on tour.
Nicki Minaj has a son whom she nicknamed ‘Papa Bear’
Nicki Minaj welcomed her first child, a son, affectionately nicknamed “Papa Bear,” with her husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, on Sept. 30, 2020, in Los Angeles. While she has never publicly disclosed his legal name, she uses “Papa Bear” consistently in posts and interviews.
When Papa Bear turned 4, Minaj posted a sweet birthday tribute to him on her Instagram. “Dear #PapaBear, Happy 4th birthday, buddy,” she captioned the post. “You’ve made mama & daddy so happy. Since you were in mama’s tummy, you gave me a whole new meaning to life. Hope.”
While speaking on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2022, Minaj reflected on how her son helped her see “the good in people.”
“When I look at my son, I’m reminded that I am so blessed,” she said, according to People. “I realized, for so many women, this is their dream. Their dream is to have a child, and not everybody gets that blessing. So, when you have a little baby, you are reminded every day, like, ‘Oh my God. Thank you, God, for this little gift.'”
