Cardi B seems to have her hands full already with two kids under 3 and an eagerly anticipated album to finish. She got a bit of help this week when she asked daughter Kulture Kiari, 3, if she was interested in having another little one in the house. According to People, during an Instagram Story on Monday (Feb. 28), the rapper asked Kulture, “you want me to have another baby?”
Kulture didn’t hesitate a second before reportedly responding “No!” When Cardi asked her first-born why she didn’t want to add to her mom and dad Offset‘s brood — which also includes their 5-month-old son — Kulture had a ready answer: “Because I like my baby brother. He’s perfect.” The couple’s second-born, whose name has not yet been revealed, was born on Sept. 4, 2021.
Like a lot of artists, Cardi also had some thoughts on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, though she made sure to measure her words very carefully when weighing in. Just days before the assault of Russia’s neighbor, Cardi got political for a minute about Putin deploying a massive phalanx of troops to the region.
“Wish these world leaders stop tripping about power and really think about whose really getting affected (citizens) besides the whole world is in a crisis,” she tweeted in the early morning hours of Feb. 22, after a fan wondered about her thoughts on Putin’s actions. “War,sanctions,invasions should be the last thing these leaders worry about.”
When a fan questioned whether Cardi was really behind the tweet, she clarified in a video, explaining that she had a lot of thoughts but was being cautious for a good reason. “This phone is not hacked, it’s really me!” she said in the nearly minute-long clip. “I actually want to say a lot of things, but I’m just gonna mind my business because sometimes, I feel like I have such a big platform that if I don’t say the right things, I might get killed.”
The rapper is hard at work on her follow-up to 2018’s smash debut, Invasion of Privacy, whose release date and title have not yet been announced.

Ice Spice has released her new single “Pretty Privilege,” marking a noticeable shift from her signature New York drill-inspired sound. But the change in style isn’t the only thing that’s getting people talking. Fans are once again speculating about the rumored tension between her and Cardi B, a topic that first gained attention when a snippet of the track appeared online.
For those who missed it, Cardi B had previously gone on a rant that included jabs at Ice Spice and her manager. Not long after, Spice previewed “Pretty Privilege,” which featured the lyric, “She might talk s**t on the ’Gram, but she won’t talk it to my face.” That line quickly sparked debate among listeners, with many believing it was aimed at the AM I THE DRAMA? rapper.
This added fuel to speculation that a rivalry might be brewing. During the phone call in question, Cardi B criticized Ice Spice while speaking to her manager, James Rosemond Jr. She later apologized for her remarks about Latto and claimed that Rosemond Jr. was responsible for leaking their private conversation.
Now that the full version of “Pretty Privilege” has been released, Complex reports that other theories have emerged. Some fans believe the song might actually target Brooklyn rapper Stunna Sandy, whom Spice was said to call out in her earlier track “Baddie Baddie.” On that record, she rapped, “I know that she wants to be me / But she is not doing it well,” leading to renewed discussions about hidden disses.
While talk of a feud between Cardi B and Ice Spice isn’t new, both artists have publicly denied having issues in the past. Even so, online chatter continues to shape how fans perceive their relationship. Aside from that controversial phone call, there’s no real evidence to suggest they’re actually on bad terms.
Still, as speculation keeps circulating, the story might take new turns. Whether it’s genuine tension or just fan-driven drama, it’s clear that the Internet has played a big role in keeping the conversation alive. For now, Cardi and Ice Spice don’t seem particularly close, but time will tell if the rumors fade or resurface once again.
