A seemingly generous gesture has turned into a source of tension between two of hip-hop’s biggest stars, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. Cardi B is reportedly upset after discovering that a gift Nicki Minaj sent to her daughter, Kulture, for her sixth birthday arrived damaged. The incident has sparked speculation and debate among fans and media about whether the damage was a mistake or intentional.

Kulture’s sixth birthday was a grand affair, with Cardi B and her husband Offset pulling out all the stops to celebrate their daughter’s special day. The event was attended by family, friends, and a few celebrity guests, and it featured an elaborate setup with decorations, games, and entertainment fit for a young princess. 

As part of the festivities, Kulture received numerous gifts from well-wishers, including one from Nicki Minaj. Despite their rocky history, the gesture was initially seen as a positive step towards mending fences between the two rappers.

However, the situation took a turn when Cardi B discovered that the gift from Nicki Minaj was damaged. According to sources close to the “WAP” rapper, the present—a luxury toy car—was broken upon arrival. Cardi B was reportedly furious and took to social media to express her disappointment.

In a now-deleted Instagram story, Cardi B wrote, “I really appreciate the gesture, but come on, how do you send a broken gift to a child? This was supposed to be special for Kulture, and now she’s upset. Mistake or intention, it’s hurtful.”

The incident has led to a flurry of reactions and speculations online. Fans of both artists have taken to social media to voice their opinions, with some suggesting that the damage was an unfortunate mistake during shipping, while others believe it could have been a deliberate act given the history of feuds between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

One fan tweeted, “It’s sad to see something meant to be a kind gesture turn into drama. I hope it was just a mistake.” Another commented, “Knowing their past, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was intentional. There’s too much bad blood there.”

Nicki Minaj has not publicly responded to the allegations or Cardi B’s comments. However, a source close to Minaj told a media outlet, “Nicki had no idea the gift was damaged. She genuinely wanted to do something nice for Kulture’s birthday. If there was an issue, it was certainly not intentional.”
