The Hip Hop queens have been rather vocal in their apparent distaste for each other in the past (lest we forget the time Cardi hurled her shoe during New York Fashion Week), but it looks like the duo might have finally squashed their beef.

Amazingly, Cardi B’s latest comments about Nicki Minaj are nothing but praise. In a recent interview with Apple Music, Cardi B discussed the progression of female rap.

She mentioned that it was a dying industry before one unnamed rapper came in the game and revamped it. And then there was one female rapper that dominated for a very long time. You know what I’m saying? And she did pretty good. She’s been still dominating.”

As it stands, the bad blood between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj could be a thing of the past, if rumors that are running rampant across the internet are any indicator.

Not only would a partnership between the two Rap Queens be a ‘’near miracle’’. You could bet your last card that Spotify, iTunes, and billboards charts are definitely in the soup.

#2. Jay Z X Kanye West

JAY Z and Kanye West were once the closest friends in hip hop, having spent years collaborating and supporting each other.

Their feud started when Kanye West and Taylor swift saga plus queen B and hubby ditching Kimye’s Wedding.

The duo attending Diddys 50th birthday early last year attests to reconciliation from both parties. A collaboration next year would not only be shocking. It would equally make the year more than eventful.

Just in case you don’t know the gravity of that, here’s the gist, for the first time in the last decade, the world will be lucky to witness 43 Grammys in one track, did I hear you shout “that would be epic!”.

#3. Beyonce X Rihanna

When it comes to celebrity feuds, Beyoncé and Rihanna always seem to come to mind. For years, it has been alleged that these two could never see eye to eye and actually considered each other rivals.

Fans are certain that their feud was more than 10 years in the making but since both women are notoriously private, their ill-feelings for one another have never been confirmed or denied.

While the media has often portrayed the two women as rivals, the truth of the matter seems to be that they have a healthy respect for each other, even if it seems as though they don’t spend a lot of time together.

Although lately, the duet is rather synonymous with entrepreneurship. While Rihana is focused on her Fenty Line, Queen B is busy with her Ivy Park.

Then the question comes to the mind, are these duo ever interested in dropping even a single, little talk a collaboration any time soon?

However a duet from them seems farfetched, it would, without doubt, leave the world in awe.

#4. Megan Stallion X Tory Lanez

The number four on the list takes a different tide. Obviously not the regular beef. This time, it involves life and death.

After months of what one would call a cool friendship between rappers — Tory Lanez and Megan Stallion. The Canadian Rapper is accused of shooting Megan several times at her feet and wounding her.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, it happened after the pair got into an argument whilst riding in an SUV in the Hollywood Hills on 12 July.

Tory Lanez, who’s 28, is also charged with carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

If convicted the Canadian artist faces up to 23 years in prison.

He’s denied the charges — but only in music, he’s released since the incident.

Court hearings will begin on October 13 at the Foltz Criminal Justice Centre in Los Angeles.

However, the story ending up being clout shouldn’t be surprising. From the start Megan reportedly claimed it was a glass cut, then the shooting story popped.

The couple agreeing to an out-of-court settlement as well as dropping a reconciliation collab would be an Oscar deserving Hollywood script we should anticipate a year from now.

# 5. Kanye West X Taylor Swift

The ever-evolving saga of Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s public relationship seems to be a nonstop roller-coaster ride, starting with West interrupting Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, continuing to their public reconciliation, and then devolving all over again thanks to some lightning-rod lyrics and a recorded phone call.

Although there’s no timeline for a Swift/West collaboration so far, let’s just imagine it does for a second. What will we call them? Swest? Tanye? Maybe even Swanye?
