It looks like the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B feud is not going to simmer down anytime soon. And in the latest report, the “Queen” rapper denied she ever made comments about the daughter of the “Bodak Yellow” rapper.
Both rappers were at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS gala, a New York Fashion Week event, on Sept. 7 when they reportedly got into a physical altercation. Video footage of the fight emerged days later. Cardi B can be seen being restrained by several men on the scene as she tries to get near Minaj while repeatedly shouting, “B****, come here!”
Meanwhile, Minaj can be seen leaning on a wall with security personnel covering her as she said, “I’m staying right here.” At one point, Cardi B is also seen throwing a shoe at Minaj’s direction. It is not clear in the video if they made physical contact during the fight but Cardi B later exited the venue with a bruise on her forehead.
Minaj recently addressed the altercation and called it a “mortifying and humiliating” experience. The “Chun-Li” rapper talked about the feud at length during her Beats 1’s “Queen Radio” program.
Before continuing her statement, Minaj responded to Cardi B’s claims that she made comments about the latter’s daughter and parenting skills. “Before I go, I wanna say that I would never discuss anyone’s child. And it’s so sad for someone to pin that on me because I’m the bad guy and they’re gonna believe them,” Minaj said on her radio show (via Pitchfork). Minaj further insisted that she “would never talk about someone’s child or parenting.”
Shortly after the scene at the NYFW party, Cardi B took to Instagram to tell her side of the story. The “Love & Hip-Hop: New York” alum implied that there had been several incidents involving Minaj where she decided to let go prior to the Sept. 7 incident. The rapper recalled she had reached out to Minaj twice in person before to speak about their previous issues.
“But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f****** off,” Cardi B wrote. In the same post, the rapper also implied that Minaj uses the feud “really for entertainment.”
