The ongoing feud between rappers Nicki Minaj and Cardi B seems far from over, as Cardi B took to Instagram on Tuesday to throw some serious shade. The two musicians made global headlines in September when their verbal confrontation turned physical during New York Fashion Week. This resulted in a visible bump on Cardi B’s forehead.
Altercation breaks out between rappers during NY Fashion Week gathering.
Cardi B was reportedly injured after a physical altercation with Nicki Minaj at an event. The cause of the injury was initially unclear, but it was later revealed that Minaj’s security intervened when Cardi allegedly tried to attack her. However, during Minaj’s recent radio show, she claimed that it was her friend Rah Ali who actually fought with Cardi and described the intensity of the fight. According to Minaj, Rah punched Cardi multiple times and she could hear the force of the blows.
In September, before the physical altercation with Nicki Minaj, Cardi B had a different version of events than Minaj’s recent claims. In response, she posted 11 videos on Instagram where she vehemently denied being beaten by Ali and accused Minaj of changing her story from being the victim to the gangster. Cardi mentioned that it made no sense for her to admit any wrongdoing, knowing that there would be footage of the incident. She also claimed that Minaj couldn’t keep up with her lies and threatened to sue her for defamation. Minaj had previously accused Cardi of using payola, which is an illegal tactic to secure more airtime for her songs on the radio.
During New York Fashion Week, Nicki Minaj was spotted by AP. Cardi B retaliated by claiming that she might sue Nicki for defamation of character because of allegations that she is using an illicit method called payola to fuel her success. In a series of videos, Cardi also brought up other unresolved issues between the two of them and asserted that several projects Nicki is participating in, such as a Diesel fashion collection and her latest song with Little Mix titled “Woman Like Me,” were initially offered to her.
Cardi B was spotted with a bump on her forehead as she left the New York Fashion Week party following an altercation with Nicki Minaj. In response, Minaj took to Twitter, calling Cardi a “fraud” who only talks about deals and songs she’s turned down. She also proposed a lie detector test and invited Cardi onto her radio show to settle their differences. During her show, Minaj addressed Cardi directly, expressing her desire to move past the feud. Cardi responded by suggesting they discuss the issue privately, rather than through interviews and social media.
