The long-running feud between Akbar V and Cardi B has taken another dramatic turn, with Akbar bringing the battle from social media to the recording booth.
After days of exchanging heated messages online, the Atlanta rapper released a new diss track titled “You Ain’t Pretty,” escalating one of hip-hop’s most persistent rivalries. Rather than choosing an original instrumental, Akbar flips the beat from Cardi’s “Pretty & Petty,” turning the Bronx superstar’s own record into the backdrop for a series of pointed lyrical attacks.
Throughout the song, Akbar V delivers bars aimed at several aspects of Cardi’s personal life, referencing her public relationships, cosmetic procedures, and upbringing. The track leaves little room for subtlety, with the rapper making it clear that she’s prepared to continue the feud through music as well as social media.
The release comes after another heated exchange between the two artists, whose rivalry stretches back several years. Their disagreements have repeatedly spilled onto social platforms, with both rappers trading insults and accusations in front of millions of followers.
Fans wasted no time reacting to the diss record after it hit streaming platforms and social media. While some praised Akbar V for taking the battle into the studio, others questioned whether Cardi B would feel compelled to respond with a record of her own.
Cardi has yet to publicly address “You Ain’t Pretty,” but given her history of confronting critics directly, many are watching closely to see whether she answers the challenge through music or online.
For now, Akbar V has ensured that their latest dispute extends beyond tweets and Instagram posts. Whether this marks the beginning of a full-fledged rap battle or simply another chapter in their ongoing feud remains to be seen, but the tension between the two artists appears to be far from over.
