Cardi B is not holding back against Eminem for throwing shade at her close friend, Megan Thee Stallion. Ever since the controversy between Megan and Tory Lanez, Megan has been ridiculed in Hollywood, with many accusing her of lying and attempting to bring down a fellow Black artist. Eminem recently added to this narrative with a jab at Megan in his new song, and Cardi B was quick to defend her friend, issuing a strong warning to Eminem to keep Megan’s name out of his mouth.

This raises the question: are we about to witness a feud between Cardi B and Eminem? This situation is getting intense. Despite Megan’s efforts to move past the incident, people in the industry, especially male rappers, continue to target her. Eminem is not the first to take cheap shots at Megan. She has faced constant criticism, with many accusing her of trying to ruin Tory’s life or labeling her a snitch for involving the police, even though she initially tried to protect him. Megan only exposed the truth after Tory and his team mocked the situation, pushing her to the edge.

Drake also took an unprovoked shot at Megan in his song with 21 Savage, “Circo Loco,” with lyrics that many found disrespectful and strange, given there was no history of conflict between them. His attack seemed random and unnecessary, especially since Drake and Tory Lanez were not friends.

Megan, known for not letting disses slide, called out Drake on social media, labeling him a hater and criticizing male rappers for using her name for clout. She also expressed frustration over how the industry reacts differently when a Black woman speaks out against mistreatment compared to other issues

Even after Megan won her case against Tory Lanez, the shade from male rappers has not ceased. Eminem’s recent song “Houdini” contains a wordplay that many interpreted as mocking Megan, causing further outrage.

While fans criticized Eminem, Cardi B stepped in to defend Megan, shading Eminem and expressing her disapproval of his actions Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are known to be good friends, having collaborated on multiple songs. Although there were rumors of a fallout, they quickly proved false as they continued to support each other publicly.

Cardi’s defense of Megan against Eminem shows the strength of their friendship. She stated, “Now Em, I love that guy, but it was not cool to bring Meg into this. She’s a sweet girl.” Many fans agreed, questioning why male rappers feel the need to involve themselves in Megan’s situation unprovoked.
