Fight with Cardi B ‘ mortifying’: Minaj
Los Angeles: Singer- rapper Nicki Minaj has opened up about her fight with Cardi B at a Fashion Week event in New York City on Friday, calling it “mortifying and humiliating”.
Speaking on Beats 1’ s Queen Radio, Minaj also addressed the claim that she had made disparaging remarks about Cardi’s newborn daughter. “It’s all lies. I would never ridicule anyone’s child. ( It’s) so sad for someone to pin that on somebody... I would never talk about anyone’s child or parenting... These lies are ridiculous,” she said.
Using her real name ( Onika Tanya Maraj), Minaj added, “It’s crazy for me that people always need to make Onika the bad guy... I was wearing a Gautier gown off the runway and I could not believe how humiliated it all felt. How we made ourselves look.”
Addressing Cardi directly, Minaj said, “You came into my f****** culture... You call black women roaches. Real b****** never attack a woman. You’re angry and you’re sad. This is not funny. Get this woman some help. This woman’s at the highest point in her career and she’s throwing shoes?”
The star- studded Fashion Week party where the incident took place on Friday was billed as the Harper’s Bazaar Icon bash. In one of several videos posted to Twitter, Cardi B, wearing a red dress, can be seen lunging towards Minaj before throwing a shoe at the rapper as their security teams rush to break it up.
