Nicki lost this battle and for one reason only: she allowed herself to be sucked down a rabbit hole. Someone at the top of their game, especially a self proclaimed lyricist, would've put together ONE cleaver tweet, flamed the ish outta Cardi, and moved on. But Nicki's reaction shows she's not at the top of her game. She seems to be quite intimidated by the close competition. Cardi got her to reveal her hand and now Nucki looks foolish calling someone's child a roach. It's juvenile, not funny, and quite desperate. Nicki has much more to lose than Cardi.
