Cardi B Diss Tracks
Heated Year
Rap feuds stayed hot in 2025, and Cardi B diss tracks framed much of the conversation. The year never matched 2024’s seismic Drake versus Kendrick fallout, but it delivered sharp, replayable jabs across regions and scenes. Joey Bada$ baited Kendrick, then battled West Coast voices like Ray Vaughn, AZ Chike, and Daylyt, while Twitch drama and label subplots turned into mic-ready fodder. Women in rap weaponized tracks and timelines alike, amplifying discourse with precision and spectacle. 
Playlist Warfare
Fivio Foreign flipped a viral Airbnb spat into “PlaqueBoyMax,” claiming the moniker with winked swagger. Skepta escalated against Joyner Lucas on “Round 2,” calling out flows and album cycles, then Joyner clapped back with “ROUND 2 K.O,” leaning into American competitive pride. Rising streamer-rapper Jace! went for 1900Rugrat on “1900 ARCHIE,” a niche but lively exchange reflecting how livestream ecosystems now incubate rap feuds and premieres.
Cardi B Moment
Cardi B’s diss tracks powered her album rollout with unfiltered theatrics. “Pretty & Petty” roasted BIA’s “melatonin flow,” while “Magnet” blasted Offset and JT, testing limits between gossip and craft. The bars were blunt more than dazzling, but the impact was undeniable, igniting stan economies and old rivalries. In the attention market, shock remains currency, and Cardi spent freely to dominate feeds and playlists.
West Coast Pressure
Joey Bada$’s “THE FINALS” sharpened his pen against Ray Vaughn and even TDE’s shifting roster dynamics. Vaughn’s “H** Era” answered viciously, mocking Joey’s pursuit of Kendrick and suggesting Hollywood might suit him better. The exchange revived competitive coastal energy without collapsing into chaos, a reminder that bar work still matters amid memeable moments.
Viral Wildcards
Bhad Bhabie stunned skeptics with “Ms. Whitman,” a ferocious swing at Alabama Barker over a “VULTURES” sample. The track landed low blows and internet lore, and Barker never landed a worthy response. Jorjiana’s “Can’t Be Concrete” jabbed KARRAHBOOO and cheekily sampled Lil Yachty, then linked with him days later, showing how antagonism can morph into alignment in a blink.
Crown Strike
Clipse delivered the year’s cleanest kill shot. On “So Be It,” Pusha T spared only eight bars for Travis Scott yet left welts. He referenced UTOPIA, cosmetics punchlines, and Cannes altercations, compressing venom into quotables. The message was simple: you wanted elite sparring, you got it. In an era of algorithmic beef, the economy of words can still draw the deepest blood.
Final Word
This year’s battles proved the spectacle endures, but craft wins the lasting replay. Cardi B’s diss tracks fueled the zeitgeist, while Clipse reminded everyone what surgical precision sounds like. The genre remains healthiest when competition elevates the pen, not just the timeline.
