Cardi B is firing back after she was accused of being tied to a report that explains how bots amplify Nicki Minaj's social media posts.
It all started on Monday, February 23, after Politico published a study by disinformation security company Cyabra, which found that 33 percent of Minaj's followers who spread her content on X are fake. Soon after the article spread online, Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz called out the author Jason Beeferman, and claimed the findings in the study were "100% BS." He also stated that the company that created the report is connected to Cardi B's agent from United Talent Agency, Mike “G” Guirguis.
“It’s incredibly unethical and inappropriate that Beeferman failed to disclose that relationship, given the very public disputes in the music industry,” Bruesewitz wrote on X. “Fake news is the enemy of the people!”
Guirguis serves as Cardi B's agent and was recently added to Cyabra's new Brand & Entertainment Council. Following Bruesewitz claims, Cardi B jumped on X to respond and threatened to sue him.
"Listen, you involved me in something that has nothing to do wit me so now we’re gonna talk about the facts," Bardi wrote. "Cyabra is a data company with a lot of investors like Mike G, customers like Elon Musk and Pepsi that use that company for data and even has Mike Pompeo on the board of advisors.. so what you need to focus on is the fact that data is VERY real and leave me out of your bulls**t. I do not have anything to do with that and I don’t give AF!! Now lie and say that’s not true!!! See what happen when you involve me in s**t that don’t have nothing to do with me? I get down to the GRISTLE of it!! And btw I am still gonna sue you, you wet dirty dog."
Cardi B refused to mention Nicki Minaj by name. The report was released several months after the two female artists got into a heated back-and-forth on social media. Both artists hurled wild disses at one another for days, and even dragged their children into it. The verbal melee was just the peak of their years-long beef.
As of this report, Cardi B has not taken legal action against Alex Bruesewitz.
