Cardi B is responding directly after Latto addressed their rumored fallout during her appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” making it clear that she believes she tried to fix things long before the situation became public conversation again.
After Latto opened up about the tension and confirmed that one of her lyrics was connected to Cardi, the Bronx rapper took to X with a lengthy message explaining her side. In her response, Cardi said the issue began after a private phone call surfaced and made the disrespect public. She also claimed she made several attempts in 2025 and 2026 to privately take accountability.
Cardi wrote:
“I truly understand how you feel…and that’s exactly why I chose to apologize publicly because the disrespect became public. On that call I didn’t even mean to call you that, I didn’t mean any harm.. There’s a difference in what I said vs what I meant. What I could have said was you was too forgiving and gave too much mercy in that situation.. But it was a heated conversation and I let my mouth get the best of me. When the call came out I was eight months pregnant, had just released my album, and was extremely overwhelmed and emotional. Thats not to excuse what I said but to let you know where I was in my head. I genuinely felt bad about what happened. In 2025 and 2026 I made multiple attempts to connect…I spoke with your manager, your sister, and even texted you directly to take full responsibility. I always had love and respect for you ! I always wanted to make it right but making it right looks different for the both of us… I wanted to connect with you but you wanted to address it on your album”

Cardi’s response shifts the conversation from simple rap drama to a more personal disagreement between two women who once appeared to be building a genuine industry friendship. Fans have watched Cardi and Latto show each other public support over the years, especially after teaming up musically and appearing to celebrate each other’s wins.
However, Cardi’s latest message suggests that the relationship changed after hurt feelings, private conversations, and failed attempts to reconnect. While she admitted that her words during the heated call were wrong, she also said she never meant harm and wanted Latto to understand her mindset at the time.
Now that both artists have addressed the situation publicly, fans are watching to see whether this becomes a repaired friendship or another female rap fallout that continues to play out through interviews, songs, and social media.
