According to the TMZ report, Cardi approached Nicki to confront her over “lies she was spreading,” allegedly after Minaj belittled her mothering skills, as Cardi can be heard shouting: “Say something about my daughter again!”
After members of the security detail tried to separate the two, Cardi took of her red shoe and hurled it at Nicki, who is seen being blocked up against a wall by several guards.

Cardi, however, missed her target, while Minaj “didn’t even flinch.” The outraged rapper was later escorted out by security, being left with a giant lump on her head after a security guard reportedly elbowed her.

Some twitterians, however, claimed that it was not Minaj who Cardi was fighting – but rather Rah Ali, B’s former Love & Hip Hop: New York TV show co-star.

Other users weighed in to say that there is a version that Cardi wanted to confront Minaj, but Rah stepped in to defend the latter:

Actually I believe Cardio tried running up but Nicki was with Rah Ali so they fought. You can see Cardi getting dragged though lol
— bishop (@OnikasRainbow) 8 сентября 2018 г.
It wasn't Nicki. It was Rah defending her after Cardi came up on Nicki saying "Lemme tell you something"

Meanwhile, others prefer to wait for Cardi to shed light on who exactly she was targeting, or at least for a clearer video:

After leaving the party, Cardi B took to her Instagram where she did not call out Minaj by name but alluded to the incident, explaining that she had made some “comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter.”

Nicki Minaj, however, seemed to act nonchalant, posting glamorous pics from the fashion night out:
She hasn’t commented on the incident so far.
