Cardi caused caught a stir after throwing her microphone at a crowd in Las Vegas, but some speculate it was all to generate attention for her "Jealousy" collab with Offset.

Seeing as both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are planning on releasing new albums in 2023, competition between the legendary lyricists is higher than ever. Both have shown their skills while collaborating with up-and-comers over the past few months and this past New Music Friday (July 28), the former teamed up with her husband, Offset, for another joint single called "Jealousy." The song seems to be receiving positive reviews online so far. However, Cardi and her man are facing accusations of attempting to rack up streams by keeping their name in the press.

While initially promoting the track, the "Clout" artists used their beef with Tasha K as fuel, earning them some slight backlash. Thankfully, the Bardi Gang has been in full support of their favourite rapper. The Barbz, however, have been less than kind. Among them seems to be Tate Kobang, newly signed to Minaj's label, who tweeted "All those PR stunts but b**ch," on Sunday afternoon.

Tate Kobang Shares an Interesting Message

While she wasn't tagged in the post, the mother of two took it personally, and was quick to label Kobang as "weird" on her profile. "HOW YOU A GROWN A** MAN SUBBING ME?" Cardi asked. "Idgaf who gassin' you grown a** man. Watch your mouth when you addressing me." Elsewhere, Offset sent out a "Wya đź‘€," suggesting that he's hoping to confront Nicki's artist face to face.

Interestingly, Kobang's profile hints at several other shady messages aimed at the "Lick" hitmaker. In his likes, someone uncovered a video of Cardi at the Met Gala as Barbz outside spit bars from the Queen of Rap's "Red Ruby Da Sleeze." On top of that, he also shared a GIF of a drink being thrown toward a camera, seemingly referring to the 30-year-old being splashed by a drink while performing in Las Vegas this past weekend.
