The Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, and her loyal Barbz were fending off detractors on social media since yesterday after some Cardi B fans alleged that she edited her figure on the most recently released teaser for her newest chart-topper, "Red Ruby Da Sleeze."

Barbz, on the other hand, has also pointed out how Cardi B has also allegedly photoshopped her Oscars Vanity Fair photos.

Did Nicki Minaj Photoshopped Herself on 'Red Ruby Da Sleeze' Teaser?

A quick comparison of the "Red Ruby Da Sleeze" video teaser and the circulating screen-grabbed photos on social media shows that Nicki Minaj was not photoshopped on the video.

A now-viral tweet from a Cardi B fan shows manipulated screen-grabbed photos of the female rapper from the teaser, showing how her waistline was excessively edited to make it appear as if it was edited by Nicki Minaj's team.

Looking at the right part of her waist, the image uploaded by the user shows it was warped to make it look thinner. The original video at the 0:19 marker, on the other hand, shows otherwise.

Other tweets also suggested that the photoshop on her photos was "nasty."

Minaj, after seeing the tweets from Cardi B fans, clap backed harder.

In a tweet, the Queen of Rap seemingly suggested to "Photoshop them bars," loosely referring to the ghostwriting accusations thrown at Cardi B over the past years.


The MTV Vanguard recipient has been crowned as one of the greatest female rap lyricists, in fact, as one of the greatest rap lyricists of the past few decades. Nicki was unrelenting in her response; she even asked people to "Photoshop them sales," referring to how her compilation album, "Queen Radio," has already spent 25 weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It is considered the longest-running Female rap project of 2022.

Her single, "Super Freaky Girl," debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, making it the first solo rap song by a female artist since 1998.
