Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Altercation

Things got heated between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Friday night (September 7th) during the Harper’s BAZAAR ICONS event at The Plaza Hotel in NYC. According to reports, the feud was a result of Nicki allegedly criticizing Cardi’s parenting by reportedly liking a tweet that said, “The message she is sending as a mother to a baby girl by supporting a rapist is unsettling & uncomfortable to me,” which was a response to Cardi welcoming Kodak Black home from jail.

According to TMZ, sources connected to Cardi said that she approached the area where Nicki was located “to address the lies Nicki was spreading.” In videos which have surfaced the net, Cardi is seen trying to get close to and lunge at Nicki, yelling, “Like some sh*t about my kid again, b*tch. Keep f**king playing with me.” Security stopped Cardi from getting close to Nicki, although she was able to remove her shoe and throw it at Nicki, but she missed. Cardi was escorted out of the building by security wearing one shoe, and she had a lump on her forehead from the incident, while Nicki remained inside. Variety reports that Cardi sustained the knot above her eye after being elbowed by one of Nicki’s security guards.

One source told PEOPLE magazine, “She left barefoot with her dress ripped and butt out.” Another insider told the publication, “The scene was f**king crazy. It was entourage against entourage. They had their altercation on the second-floor balcony, right above the red carpet. All of the sudden there was a big commotion and everyone didn’t know what was going on.”

Meanwhile, a separate source told Page Six, “It was bad. They were separated by security, but Cardi was still trying to get at her. She took off a giant red shoe and threw it at Nicki – who was being blocked up against a wall by huge security guard.”
