The American rap game has its fair share of superstars, from Eminem to Snoop Dogg, and all these stars have pretty rides sitting in their garages. Their cars are among their most prized possessions for the Trinidadian-American Nicki Minaj and the Washington-born Cardi B. The two rappers have bought and have received several cars as presents over the years. Both of their collections clearly show the type of drives they prefer. Nicki has a taste for mostly lavish, super-fast rides, while Cardi opts for a hunky SUV experience with fancy amenities inside the car. The one car both these rappers have in common is the stylish and speedy Lamborghini Aventador.
To decide whose automobile game is stronger, let's take a look at both of their garages with some jaw-dropping rides inside.
Nicki Minaj’s Rolls-Royce Cullinan
The Anaconda-singer has plenty of cars in her collection, but the ones that stand out the most are the luxury SUV, Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The Cullinan's twin-turbo 6.7-liter V-12 engine churns 563 HP and remains extremely quiet, let alone disturbing the passengers in the cabin. The car has a 0 - 60 MPH time of just 4.5 seconds which is impressive for a vehicle that weighs about three tons. The all-wheel-drive transmission is standard.
The Cullinan rides on an air suspension that receives information from a road-scanning camera and automatically adjusts the vehicle's height to compensate for most imperfections on the pavement. The comfort of this car is beyond the standards of regular luxury vehicles, as the Cullinan glides down the road while the passenger can enjoy the fancy amenities in the car’s rear.
Nicki’s Custom-Painted Lamborghini Aventador
Nicki’s pink Aventador has a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 powerhouse which produces 740 HP and makes the Lambo feel like a missile. It's quick in its responses and relentless in its power and sounds glorious at 8,000 rpm. The all-wheel-drive helps put the power down cleanly too. Nicki has gotten her Aventador custom painted, which shows her love for bright colors even when it comes to automobiles.
The vehicle is low, wide, and edgy, giving it an otherworldly look. Even the angled upward-opening doors make for a spectacle. The two passengers sit incredibly low in an Aventador, and the cabin ambiance is almost fighter jet-like. Outside visibility is better than most performance cars, and the pedals are deliberately offset as these elements are integral to the Lamborghini experience.
Cardi B’s Powerful Lamborghini Urus
Cardi B’s car collection is quite impressive and consists of some hunky SUVs which are frequently used by the rapper to traverse the roads of Atlanta. One of the most iconic 4-wheelers from this collection is the Lamborghini Urus.
The Urus is powered by a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 650 HP and 850 Nm of torque and sends power to all four wheels with a 40:60 front to rear power split via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The 2.2-tonne SUV makes a 0-62 mph sprint in 3.6 seconds flat and can achieve a top speed of a massive 190 mph. The 17.3-inch carbon-ceramic front disc brakes of this car are also the largest on a production car.
The Urus is requisitely astonishing to look at, employing as many sporty design tropes to an SUV body style as possible. It has an immensely raked roofline, with more angles and cuts in the bodywork than one can possibly count. The same goes for the slit-thin head and tail lamps. The Urus comes with an air suspension that alters the car’s ride height from 6.2 inches at its sportiest to 9.76 inches in its off-road modes.
This makes the Urus a perfect car for Cardi’s liking as it goes well with her personality.
Cardi’s Mercedes G Wagon
Another worthy vehicle in the popstar’s collection is the celebrity-staple Mercedes G Wagon, which offers a more upscale, luxury experience.
The G Wagon is powered by a 4.0-liter petrol engine that makes 569 HP of maximum power and can propel this SUV forward from 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds. The engine is mated to a 9-speed 9G-Tronic transmission that provides smooth gear-shifting at lower and top speeds. In addition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new drive mode known as ‘G-mode’ in the G-Class SUV. The ‘G-mode’ enhances the off-road ability and switches on when the low range option is selected. Apart from an increase in ground clearance, the G-Class’s fording depth is up by 3.9 inches and now totals at a massive 27.5 inches.
This accounts for a comfortable driving experience that looks sleek on the outside and feels like a smooth experience on the inside.
Both the rappers certainly have an excellent taste in cars, as is apparent by their choice of rides. Of course, to give an absolute answer to who has a better collection is a tall order, but one thing is certain, none of the ladies back down on sass with their choices when it comes to automobiles or their music.
