This is the reason why Nicki Minaj tried for so many years to block other rap girls from getting shine. She knew this is what would happen the day someone actually was allowed to have a machine behind them the way she had a machine behind her. She would be exposed as a mediocre artist and the new girl would easily take the top spot, and that is exactly what happened when Cardi came in the scene. Cardi ended Nicki's career so effortlessly, it's actually crazy to think about it.

Congratulations to Cardi B. Remember, we have to use Nicki's standard when deciding who the Queen of Rap is: "to be the queen of rap, you've got to sell records, you've got to get plaques." Nobody is selling more records or getting more plaques than the RIAA diamond-selling GRAMMY Award-winning artist Cardi B. Nicki is washed. Splish splash. Hang it up. Flatscreen.
