Nicki Minaj, Cardi B in catfight at NY Fashion Week
Two of America's most prominent female rap and hip-hop artists, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, nearly came to blows in a brief but explosive confrontation during New York's Fashion Week.
Videos on Twitter and YouTube showed the two women, who were on a second-floor balcony above a red carpet event late Friday, being separated by their security guards as Cardi B curses her rival before throwing a shoe at her.
Minaj was reportedly not hurt. But a photo taken immediately afterward shows Cardi B with a large bump just above her left eye. The Variety website said one of Minaj's guards elbowed her during the melee.
It was not immediately known what touched off the dispute, but gossip site TMZ said Cardi B, 25, had accused Minaj, 35, of spreading "lies" about her. - AFP
