Cardi B Sends Scathing Shots During Her Young Thug “On The News” Guest Verse

Young Thug‘s highly anticipated UY SCUTI album has finally made landfall, and its feature verses are also making headlines. The 20-track body of work boasts appearances from names like Travis Scott, Mariah The Scientist, T.I., Ken Carson, Sexyy Red, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, and more, including a scathing verse from Cardi B on “On The News.”

Although her assist begins with general shots towards her counterparts, the disses get more specific as the bars go on. She pokes fun a someone’s man being too broke to afford a vacation and also make allegations of domestic abuse: “How you knowin’ when you got these b**ches laughin’?/ But how the f**k you laughin’ when I heard you gettin’ beat on?/ Gotta pay a n**ga way every trip y’all be on (Hah). I’m like, nah, that couldn’t be I/ That couldn’t be me, no, that couldn’t be C.” Listen below.

Many listeners automatically ran to the conclusion that Cardi was speaking about Nicki Minaj, her rap nemesis in recent years. The Barbz quickly worked to shut that notion down, but the debate raged on between the two fanbases.

UY SCUTI and its release date was a hot topic among Thugger fans over the last few months, as this marked the first full project since his release from jail on Oct. 31, 2024. Prior to that was BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, which dropped in 2023 while the YSL rapper was still behind bars facing his RICO case. Last week, the “Bad Bad Bad” rapper abruptly announced he was pushing back his original release date of Sept. 19, 2025, specifically to clear the way for Cardi B to have her moment to shine on that day with AM I THE DRAMA?.

The soon to be mother of four has been busy promoting her sophomore album, announcing a tour and hosting a string of meet and greets across the country. She even dropped a deluxe version today, which features a remix from Latto. Listen to the upgraded LP below and check out the chaos that ensued at Cardi’s meet and greets here.
