Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's fans have been in a long and awful dispute regarding their millions. Both of the rappers have been in feuds and while many think that Cardi B is worth more than the Trinidad rapper who is obsessed with weird cars, the latter assumes otherwise.
But in the end, the mysterious question remains, who is richer? Cardi B or Nicki Minaj who is married to Kenneth Petty? Fortunately, that's what we're going to find out now.
Their Career
According to Wealthy Gorilla, Nicki Minaj, 37 made her first music in 2004 where she was contracted with the group Full Force for 6 months. Her first mix-tape was released in 2007 and soon after, in 2008, her second mix-tape was published.
In 2009, Nicki Minaj's big break came when Lil Wayne offered her a contract with his company Young Money Entertainment. Promptly, Minaj was featured in multiple songs with other Young Money artists.
Minaj's debut album titled Pink Friday was released in 2010 which ultimately sold over 375,000 copies in its first week.
Soon, Minaj gained vast exposure for her songs and became one of the most influential hip-hop artists of all time. She worked with Drake, DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Birdman, Meek Mill, and an array of other famous artists.
"You know what I'm saying?" Minaj once said. "They just want to get to the top. And I always said, I didn't want a rushed album, I didn't want to rush anything."
Shifting to Cardi B, 27, she began her career in 2015 where she joined the cast of Vh1 reality T.V show called Love & Hip Hop. In 2016, she released her first mix-tape and in the same year, was featured on the front cover of Vibe Magazine's Diva Issue.
In early 2017, Cardi B published her second mix-tape and soon after, signed a deal with Atlantic Records. Fact is, many of her videos went viral on various social media sites which is how she found her big break.
Her album Bodak Yellow hit US Billboard Hot 100 chart and had made her the fifth female rapper to ever lead the Hot 100.
Cardi B has since then worked with many famous singers such as Selena Gomez, Nicki Minaj, G-Easy, Bruno Mars, Bad Bunny, Maroon 5, and many more.

Cardi B was nominated for 'Best New Artist' in 2017 and was number 1 on Hot 100 Chart for her song Bodak Yellow.
"I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can't dream about it anymore. It's easier to settle for less." Cardi B had said.
