Cardi B has strongly denied any connection to a report alleging bot activity linked to Nicki Minaj’s social media account. The report claimed that automated accounts were amplifying Minaj’s posts online, sparking renewed tension between the two artists.
Political Commentary and Data Firm Questions
The controversy intensified on February 23, 2026, after Alex Bruesewitz, a self-described adviser to US President Donald Trump, dismissed the report as a “hoax.”
Bruesewitz questioned the credibility of the analysis conducted by Israeli data firm Cyabra. He pointed out that Cardi B’s agent, Mike G (Guirguis), is an investor in the company and serves on its Brand & Entertainment Council. He suggested that the connection reflected bias, referencing the long-running rivalry between Cardi B and Minaj.
Cardi B Denies Involvement
Cardi B responded in a series of posts on X, firmly rejecting any claims that she influenced Cyabra’s findings. She described Cyabra as an established data analytics company with multiple investors and clients across various sectors.
“Cyabra is a data company with a lot of investors like Mike G, customers like Elon Musk and Pepsi that use that company for data and even has Mike Pompeo on the board of advisors,” she wrote. “So what you need to focus on is the fact that data is VERY real and leave me … .I do not have anything to do with that…”
She further threatened legal action against Bruesewitz, accusing him of dragging her into unrelated matters.
Agent Clarifies Position
Mike G later clarified that his involvement with Cyabra is personal and not connected to Cardi B or his roster of artists.
The dispute adds another layer to the ongoing rivalry between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, as debate continues over the credibility of the bot activity report.
