Nicki Minajposted a possible response to her fight withCardi B— and it might reference shade thrown at the “Bartier Cardi” performer.
On Sunday, Minaj, 35, shared a video via Instagram in which she mugs for the camera as herQueensong “Hard White” plays. The track contains lyrics, not captured in the video, that may be about Cardi, 25.
“I ain’t never played a hoe position,” Minaj raps. “I ain’t ever have to strip to get the pole position. Hoes is dissin’? Okay, these hoes is wishin’. You’re in no position to come for O’s position.”
The O references Minaj’sreal name Onika, and Cardihas been open about her past as a stripper. In May 2018, CarditoldCosmopolitan, “People say, ‘Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it.’ Because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on.”
Minaj put “#NYFW” in the caption, a nod toNew York Fashion Week, during which the fight went down at theHarper’s BazaarICONS party on Friday.
A sourcetold PEOPLEthat “there was tension” between the performers beforehand and that “everyone was waiting for them to meet.”
The source explained, “It all happened 20 seconds afterKelly RowlandleftNicki Minaj— she was in between them.”
While the insider said it initially looked like Cardi and Minaj “might hug it out” inside the party, suddenly “it all went down.”
“Cardi walked towards Nicki and all of a sudden Cardi started screaming something about her child. She was yelling, ‘Bitch you feisty. Bitch don’t talk s— about my child’ at Nicki,” the source recalled about Cardi, who is mom to 8-week-oldKulture Kiariwith husbandOffset.
The source said that Minaj had eight or nine bodyguards, while Cardi had two people. “There was no chance Cardi could get through, but that didn’t stop her. She kept trying,” the source said. “She threw her shoe because she couldn’t get through, but it only hit one of the bodyguards. It did not hitNicki Minaj.” (Reps for the rappers did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.)
