Over the weekend at Harper’s Bazaar ICONS Party, the unspoken tension between New York bred-femcees Nicki Minaj and Cardi B boiled over into a full-blown brawl . Head Bard spent most of the ordeal being shielded by security while Bardi did everything she could to attack the Queens native, including throwing her shoe at her intended target. While many initially thought that Nicki and Cardi came to blows, it was actually former Love & Hip-Hop New York reality star Rah Ali who lunged at Cardi ready to knuck and buck. However, the internet tried to toss a hip-hop legend into the mix, based on the spotty information being spread across social media. Flipmode Squad first lady Rah Digga unexpectedly started trending because fans were getting her confused with the reality star. Hilariously taking to Twitter, the Newark, New Jersey, femcee was naturally in shock about her "trending for fighting Cardi." What was she up to while the brawl was happening? Rah Digga was home, binging Ozark, minding her business.<doc-sep>Cardi B was seen leaving New York Fashion Week on the night of Sept. 7 with a giant bump on her head after getting injured during her shocking altercation with Nicki Minaj. That looks like it hurts! Cardi B, 25, had a massive bump just above her eye area when she was leaving the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 7 and it’s all due to her headline-making fight with Nicki Minaj, 35! The rapper was being escorted out by security when the bump, which she clearly didn’t have when she entered the event, was on full display, and it’s proof that the mama bear is not messing around when it comes to her new daughter, Kulture! Cardi reportedly tried to attack Nicki at the party after the “Ganja Burn” rapper allegedly talked smack about her newborn. Luckily, security successfully separated the ladies before things got too crazy but as the photos show, Cardi didn’t walk away unharmed. Shortly after the fight, Cardi took to social media to share the reason she did what she did. “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**kin off! !” part of her message read. “I’ve worked to hard and come too far to let anybody f**k with my success!! Bitches talk all that sh*t in they raps but in real life they pussy!! This sh*t really is for entertainment! !” Cardi also claimed that Nicki has been messing with her for a while and has been doing things such as threatening other artists in an attempt to stop them from working with the new mom. This isn’t the first time Cardi has been outspoken about her feelings. She’s known for speaking her mind on social media whether it’s about another artist or a troll saying negative things about her. She’s also known to not hold back if she feels the need to get into a fight with others. She recently allegedly got into a brawl with a stripper at a New York strip club after the stripper was accused of sleeping with her husband Offset so yeah, we think it’s safe to say Cardi’s always ready to stand up for what she believes in whether it’s through words or actions! Although Cardi has been vocal about the dangerous situation during NYFW, Nicki has yet to comment about it. We’re not sure if she’ll soon exchange words with the fellow rapper but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out on these ladies!<doc-sep>
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Things have escalated between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. The beef is sizzling with word that the two rappers got into an altercation at a New York Fashion Week party while word is Rah Ali tried to put hands on Cardi. According to TMZ, it went down at the Harper’s BAZAAR Icons party for NYFW at the Plaza Hotel. Cardi B reportedly stepped to Nicki but security intervened. Apparently, that’s when Cardi took off her shoe and hurled it at Nicki. She was then escorted out by security, while rocking only one shoe. Of course, there is footage (post-altercation, though). But wait, there’s more. It seems that reality TV star Rah Ali (who we would never want any smoke with) was part of Nicki’s entourage, and was desperately seeking to bless Cardi with the fade. Again, there is footage. It seems like Rah Ali managed to steal on Cardi since it looks like the Bronx rapper caught a mean speed knot above her left eye. Afterwards, Cardi took to Instagram to explain it was Nicki talking about her newborn baby, Kulture, that set her off. “I’ve let a lot of sh*t slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me …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*ckin off! !,” read part of her message on Instagram Yes, Twitter is lit with the commentary. The tea is scorching and this story is still developing. Peep the best reactions in the gallery below. — Photo: Getty
