Nicki Minaj and Cardi B were involved in an altercation Friday night that got physical at a New York Fashion Week party, per the AP. Cardi B ended up with a sizable bump on her forehead, believed to have been caused by Minaj's security team, reports BuzzFeed. A person who witnessed the incident said Minaj was finishing up a conversation with someone when Cardi B approached aggressively and Minaj's guards intervened. TMZ has video, with Cardi B in red at the Harper's Bazaar "Icons" party. Cardi B reportedly threw one of her shoes at Minaj. Another video shows the platinum rapper being escorted out of the event by security.

Cardi B and Minaj have been rap rivals since Cardi B began achieving huge success over the last year. In a post on Instagram, Cardi B didn't call out Minaj by name but alluded to the fight. "I've let a lot of s--- slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me ...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!!" She and rapper Offset recently had their first child together, a girl. Minaj has not yet commented on the incident.
