Minaj paired the collar-neck bodysuit with nude, open-toe heels. She didn’t add any accessories to her look but decided to pair it with a bold makeup and hair look. She went for a cat-eye eyeliner look, a bronzed contour and a daring highlight. The “Super Bass” rapper also sported blond back-touching tresses. She rocked the ensemble during her  2016 performance in South Africa.

Miami paired her gold ensemble with gold ankle boots. Like Minaj, she also opted for no accessories, letting her eye-catching outfit speak for itself. She went for a more full-coverage makeup look, seemingly including a heavy foundation, a lighter concealer and a chiseled contour. She also sported a gold eye-makeup look with a nude lippie, and also went for jet-black tresses. The “Twerk” rapper apparently wore her outfit for a show she had seems to have had over the weekend. She wrote in her Instagram caption on March 25 “That b–ch you’ll never get a chance to play with! PERIODT 💅🏾.”

Fans who adored both Miami and Minaj picked who donned the ensemble best.

“I love Nikki but @yungmiami305 looked way better 😍.”

“I love yung miami , but nicki got this 😍.”

“Miami always rocking the cheaper version, Nicki look good af 💕💕💕!”

“Yung Miami looks way more classier in my opinion than Nicki.”

“Everything that Nicki do you know they knock it off 👑💯 #RideWithMinaj 💯❤️🦄.”

Although fans couldn’t quite declare a winner, they did bring up the apparent existing beef between Miami and Minaj. In the midst of Minaj’s feud with her rap rival Cardi B a few months ago, Miami announced that she was team Cardi B, who collaborated with her group on the song “Twerk.”

“I am team Cardi, City Girls is team Cardi,” the rapper told the Breakfast Club during an interview in November. “Cardi supports the City Girls. We don’t have to ask. We’ll just wake up and see she tweeted about City Girls, like, she really loves City Girls.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
