According to Urban Dictionary, a "barb" on TikTok is someone who is a Nicki superfan, but also a Bernie Sanders supporter. You might find videos on TikTok of Nicki with hashtags that include not only "barb," but also "barbzforbernie" or "barbz." One TikTok video shows photos of both Bernie and Nicki morphed to explain just how alike fans see them to be with their fair views of society and the hate they get from others despite their "unproblematic" stances on things.

Somehow, TikTok users have jumped on the bandwagon to support both Bernie and Nicki as a unit, even though Bernie dropped out of the 2020 Democratic race. While that means there’s no inherent need for Nicki to speak out for Bernie in support of him, if she did, she wouldn't be the first female rapper to do so. Cardi B notoriously backed the former presidential candidate for a while and even if she and Nicki fans can't always agree on everything, they can stan Bernie together.
