Double Tap Back: JT Fires Off Two Diss Tapes at Cardi B After ‘Magnet’

The rap world just got louder. JT has officially clapped back at Cardi B—and she didn’t come to play. After Cardi threw lyrical shots on her song “Magnet,” JT responded not with one diss, but with two full-fledged tapes aimed directly at the Bronx rapper. The back-and-forth has quickly taken over social media, with fans dissecting every bar, sub, and subliminal.

Cardi’s “Magnet,” off her Am I the Drama? album, set the tone for this clash. In it, Cardi takes several pointed jabs at JT, referencing her relationship with Lil Uzi Vert, her fashion choices, and her credibility in the rap game. “All that dck ridin’, still ain’t get no feature-ass btch / She just mad she got a n**** she be sharin’ bags with,” she raps in one of the track’s most talked-about lines. The Bronx native doubled down on insults with more slick talk, calling JT “easily impressed” and mocking her wardrobe, saying she only knows “Ricky O the only fashion house you know-ass bitch.” It was the kind of diss that was too specific to ignore—and JT clearly didn’t.

JT’s first tape fired back at Cardi’s criticism of her looks and her hustle. In a raw, unfiltered flow, she flipped the narrative, accusing Cardi of being the one desperate for validation. “Hoes mad, botched up, ugly and pathetic / I’m throwing shots at hoes gon’ stay up to catch it,” JT spits in what many believe is a direct response to Cardi’s “Magnet” bars. She didn’t hold back, taking aim at Cardi’s surgeries, image, and even her attitude toward other women in rap. The second tape turned even darker, shifting from defense to exposure. Here, JT calls out Cardi’s writing credibility, claiming the Bronx rapper needs “a Jesus helped write” her tracks, and mocking her as a “plastic baddie with a PR pen.”

The diss tapes feel personal—less like music industry competition and more like two women airing real resentment. The feud between JT and Cardi has been simmering for months, stemming from subtle social media shade and tension over collaborations. But now, it’s in full-blown war mode. JT’s decision to drop two tapes simultaneously was strategic. It flooded the internet with her voice before Cardi could respond, making sure her message dominated the conversation.

Cardi, of course, didn’t stay silent for long. She hopped on X, writing, “Wayyyy too easy LMAO… Alexa play ‘MAGNET’ by Cardi B.” The post instantly went viral, with fans split between declaring Cardi the queen of clapbacks or praising JT for standing her ground. Even Nicki Minaj, who has her own rocky history with Cardi, liked a few cryptic posts supporting JT’s response, adding another layer to an already messy rap triangle.

This isn’t just another celebrity feud—it’s shaping up to be one of the defining moments in female rap this year. Both artists are heavyweights with loyal fanbases and public personas built on authenticity. Cardi’s “Magnet” was calculated, slick, and biting; JT’s response was emotional, raw, and unapologetic. Together, they’ve reignited a fire in hip-hop that blurs the line between competition and chaos.

As it stands, JT has the momentum. She dropped fast, dropped twice, and made sure her voice was heard before Cardi’s next move. But if there’s one thing everyone knows about Cardi B—it’s that she never leaves a diss unanswered. The rap world is now waiting for her next track, and the question isn’t if she’ll respond… it’s how hard she’ll hit back.
