There are many reasons that two people in love could part ways, so many in fact that listing them all would put too much misery in our hearts. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B feuding, however, is the last reason we would suspect someone for seeking a divorce, but just this has happened with Don’te and D’Andrew over across the pond in the U.S.

A couple has claimed that one of the reasons they separated was because they had opposing viewpoints on who was a better rapper: Cardi B or Nicki Minaj. I mean there really isn’t an argument in this debate, but that’s none of my business.

The two men, Don’te and D’Andrew Leaphart appeared on the TV show Divorce Court. When asked by the host, Judge Lynn Toler, “What actually caused the separation?” D’Andrew replied, “The Nicki Minaj and Cardi B beef. I’m serious about that.”

Judge Toler thought they were joking. But D’Andrew said they were discussing “who started what” in regards to Cardi and Nicki’s feud. “It was silly,” Don’te said. He then shared that he was team Cardi, while D’Andrew was team Nicki all the way.

Don’te admitted that there were “underlying issues before” their disagreement about the two rappers. “He likes to blame it on that—it wasn’t ‘cause of that,” Don’te said, explaining that D’Andrew was “ungrateful” and “disrespectful.” Don’te added that their argument about the two rappers “was one of the moments [D’Andrew] was disrespectful.”

At another point during the show, Don’te said that after D’Andrew broke his car windows, D’Andrew was in his own car singing Jazmine Sullivan’s song, “Bust Your Windows.”

Don’te was seeking payment for damages incurred on his rental home with D’Andrew, asking him to pay his half of $1,250. In the end, Judge Toler told D’Andrew that he had to settle the debt. A win for team Cardi.
