Cardi B scraps with Nicki Minaj

-

Cardi B issued a defiant statement on social media after she was involved in a brawl with chart rival Nicki Minaj.

The I Like I trapper was at a Harper’s Bazaar event during New York Fashion Week on Friday when the duo’s bitter spat boiled over into a physical altercatio­n.

During a performanc­e by Christina Aguilera at the highfashio­n event at The Plaza Hotel, an eyewitness told Entertainm­ent Tonight that Cardi “lunged” at the Anaconda hitmaker on the second-floor balcony, and tried to “kick and punch” the rapper.

Minaj’s security quickly created a barricade between the two women, leading Cardi to throw one of her shoes at her rival.

In a video obtained by Cosmopolit­an, the mother-of-one can be seen removing her shoe as she repeatedly screams: “I will f--- you up!”

Another clip shared on social media shows Cardi, wearing a red dress, yelling about her one-month-old daughter Kulture, as she was escorted out of the exclusive party by her security team.

Cardi was photograph­ed leaving the party wearing one shoe, and appeared to have a huge bump on her head, just above her eyebrow.

No arrests have been made, and there is currently no investigat­ion into the incident, according to ET.

In a scathing post on Instagram, Cardi addressed the altercatio­n — however, she refused to name Minaj directly.

“I’ve let a lot of s--- slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop by bags, f--- up the way I eat!” she began. “You’ve threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop f---in with them!! I let you talk bug s--- about me!! I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!!”

Cardi also confirmed that she had lashed out because Kulture, her baby with husband Offset, was brought up during the spat.

“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!!” the 25-year-old continued. “I’ve worked too hard and come too far to let anybody f--- with my success !!!! ”
