"I didn't know Cardi and I had an issue, but I guess we do, since you and other people are saying it" Hopefully this was said sarcastically, if not I don't know why she is letting the media bait her into this. She could easily kill the rumblings but is instead the one actively fueling it with her responses. That "tough skin" reasoning isn't a valid reason either, and she herself fails at having that too. I think it was sarcastic cause she legit just said on CRWN that everything is cool(especially after the Met Gala), and they wouldn't feed into the bullshit. She was probably tired of the question and maybe, EBro lol, cause hes the one who would flat out ask what everyone wanted to know. Buttt, Cardi must've been watching the Flex interview and maybe some of CRWN interview cause she snapped in the comments off of what Flex said about paying DJ's to play thier songs. |

For Nicki to constantly be denying she has issue with Cardi, yet putting out rather suspicious raps (like the Finesse line) and crying about being so hurt by Cardi's comment referencing Nicki changing her verse in that one interview, she comes across completely disingenuous. I love the album and love her as an artist, but as a person she is way tew damn much sometimes. This is a woman who will cry about something like that, but will send her barb minions to attack anyone who has the slightest criticism of her. It's insane. lol

Cardi is always liking a bunch of shady comments and arguing with the Barbs and Nicki sees it bc they bring it to her on her timeline. Both of them keep letting stupid stans and the media think their is a problem between them. It doesn’t help that both Nicki and Cardi are sensitive.

There really doesn't have to be a problem with them, but if they are both gonna flirt with the idea of a feud, I'd rather they go all the way out, balls to the walls. YOLO!

It's insane. lol To be fair i think both of them are subliminally trying to send each other messages. This happened right after Nicki's interview. It looks vanilla but listen to what she remixed the lyrics to "Late at night when all the world is sleeping / You stay up and think of me," she sings in the video below. "And you wish on a star that I will be gone / But I'm still here." She continues: "Cause I'm blessed by Jesus Christ and tomorrow I'll still be alright. And there's no one in the world that can take that from me because my mother prays for me and Hennesey." https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmjt7ljB8qT |

I don't deny that Cardi gives just as much as Nicki. I just think the fact this beef is being denied while simultaneously neither are even trying to be particularly coy in their shade is ridiculous. I love both as artists (Nicki moreso on that level), but I prefer Cardi as a woman by a mile and I really try to like Nicki too. She just makes it difficult. lol Regardless, this album is her best, most cohesive IMO. Me and my fiancé have been playing it a lot over the last few days. |

She’s asking us again what she should do for the Vmas 🙃. C’mon like she doesn’t already know what she’s doing at the VMA’s in 3 days. A true queen would not ask for people’s opinions and s**t. Anyway, the album is growing on me. I’m sure she’ll do everything she can to have the most talked about performance of the night on monday. She did the same thing for the BET awards lol. She hasn’t been rehearsing at all this week bc of her busy schedule. Less time could’ve been spent doing interviews and more time on rehearsing. I’m not expecting much from the performance. |

#QueenHotTake. Good Form should go down as a classic. She went the FUCK OFF. The song has me doing dances I didn't know I had in me.
1. Good Form
2. Barbie Dreams
3. LLC
4. Coco Chanel/Inspirations Outro
5. Chun Swae
6. Chun-Li
7. Regular Degular
8. Nip Tuck
9. Rich Sex
10. Barbie Tingz
11. Miami
12. Sir
13. Ganja Burn
14. Bed
15. Come See About Me
16 Lit 2 Late
17. Run & Hide
18. Hard White
19. Majesty
20. Thought I Knew You
I'm not sure I could ever be high enough for Thought I Knew You. I legit almost skipped it and that NEVER happens during a first listen. Like, I'm high right now and...nah. LOVE the instrumental though, so there's THAT. Eminem cannot save Majesty from the worst production and worst hook, BY FAR, on the album. He tries valiantly though and comes close. Still, if I never heard this again, I would be OK.
Considering how long this album was, it is EASILY her best. No question. Worth the wait. I love how ratchet as fuck it is and how the pop songs are nice and vibey and not EDM and made for frat Biffs and Beckies. The album gets an A- from me.

“Thought I Knew You” is a grower. It didn’t click with me on first listen but I love it now.

Twitter is a mess rn. Hopefully Billboard can pull through with the #1.
DJ Akademiks has been lowkey fueling negativity around her first week all week. Who does he actually LIKE? I thought he was pro-Nicki during the whole “Motorsport” situation.

Then, once the album dropped, he was all on his Scorpion. |

I hope Barbie Dreams can manage a Top 10 debut on the Hot 100. They should have put the official audio on YouTube to boost streams, I’m sure that would have guaranteed a Top 10 debut especially with all the buzz. This management y’all I’m so over it.

I guess in a way, yes. I think this is a number most were expecting after she pulled out all the stops post-initial projections at the start of the week. Solid number. Wonder if it’ll have legs. |

Would the physical copies count as the first-week or second-week sales?
