Ming Li, Nicki Minaj’s half-sister, is avoiding long-running drama with Cardi B.
The 18-year-old rising rapper attended Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama Tour will stop in Houston, Texas on Wednesday, March 4th. Calling the show “fire,” Li quickly shut down online discussions after fans brought up the rappers’ years-long feud.
“At the end of the day, we’re all grown up and some of the drama and all that doesn’t matter going forward,” Li wrote in an Instagram Stories post.
She later added, “Choose a side? Didn’t any side say you can’t like both? You just want drama that no one but the ‘fans’ will say.”
She concluded: “Like let’s be, we’ve grown up and when you’re old and wrinkly, what we post won’t matter so respectfully idgaf.”
Li and Minaj share the same father, Robert Maraj, although the identity of his biological mother has not been publicly revealed. The young rapper previously said she was “never close” to her famous brother, but admitted Nicki always checked in on her family and offered support.
After launching her own rap career in 2024, Li has made it clear that she hopes to step out of the shadows of Super bass success maker. She previously said she “would no longer be known as Nicki Minaj’s little sister,” after years of being bullied at school over the connection.
The History of Cardi and Nicki’s Feud
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s feud dates back to 2017, when Cardi’s career exploded following the success of Yellow Bodak and his first album Invasion of privacy. While the two initially collaborated on a few tracks, tensions later arose. Nicki ultimately claimed that Cardi failed to “show me real love” publicly.
The feud reached a boiling point in 2018 when the two got into a physical altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week. Cardi later shared a scathing statement online, saying she “let a lot of s**t go” until Minaj attacked her children and her abilities as a mother.
Cardi addressed the feud again during a 2025 appearance on Call her daddy.
“People have said this whole story that I came into the industry to take over someone’s career or make them think, but it’s like I never thought about that — I never thought about that,” she said. “It’s nothing more than people didn’t get along and that’s just it. But I’m done with it. I’m so done with it. I think it’s more of a fan thing.”
