It’s what everyone’s talking about: Nicki Minaj and Cardi B– both female rappers, for those who don’t know– got into a physical fight at a New York Fashion Week party. Still don’t recognize those names? Minaj is the one who compared herself to Harriet Tubman, and Cardi B is the chick who just discovered that the government wastes our tax money. Oh. And she called Trump the N-word. That too.
According to reports, Cardi B started it. She “aggressively approached” Nicki Minaj’s table at a Harper’s Bazaar’s party and began to say something along the lines of “Let me tell you something,” but security stopped her from physically touching Minaj. However, that didn’t stop Cardi B from taking off her shoe and throwing it Minaj’s way. (She missed.) Security escorted her out.
Cardi now has a lump on her head from the whole altercation.

TMZ spoke to people “connected to Cardi,” who claim that Cardi didn’t want to fight. HA– good one!
… they say she wanted “to address the lies Nicki was spreading.” They believe security had a plan if Cardi came anywhere near, and one of them elbowed her in her face (check out the lump). They say at that point it was on.
It seems like it all has something to do with Minaj talking smack about Cardi B’s ability to be a good mother…or something.
Afterward, Cardi B put out a message to Minaj that reads, “I’ve let a lot of s*** 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***in off… I’ve worked hard and come too far to let anybody f*** with my success!!!! Bitches talk about all that s**** in they raps but in real life are p***y!!”

These girls are ridiculous. The entire thing is emblematic of that trashy “Gurl you wanna FIGHT me?!?!” culture. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
