After besting Jack Harlow and RiRi’s Navy, the Barbs said “Miley, what’s good?” and sent Nicki Minaj to the quarterfinals. And their opponent, none other than Bardi Gang. Cardi beat out BTS and her partner in “WAP,” Megan Thee Stallion, giving stan Twitter the matchup they’ve been fighting over for ages.

SEVENTEEN aren’t the only K-pop boys to make the top eight: EXO bested Kim Petras to be matched with Filipino boy band SB19, who’s already surpassed Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey.
And in our last bracket, Shakira is repping for the Latin artists, after taking down a tough opponent in TXT. She’ll face off with TWICE, who’s bringing the girl power after knocking out ENHYPEN’s ENGENEs who bested the BLINKS.
These eight will duke it out to become the ultimate fandom, a title that went to Stray Kids last year.
