Minaj also went on to clarify why she waited a few days to speak about the incident.
Addressing Cardi, Minaj remarked that since “you knew that when that footage came out, you was about to look f—ing dumb,” Cardi and her publicist “hurried up and put out a statement” right away.
“I’m such an ill-ass bitch I didn’t even feel the need to defend myself that night,” Minaj added.

On Sunday, Minaj posted a possible response to her fight withCardi B, which seemingly referenced some shade thrown at the “Bartier Cardi” performer.
In a video posted on her Instagram account, Minaj mugged for the camera while “Hard White,” one of the songs off of her latest album, plays in the background. The track contains lyrics, not captured in the video, that may be about Cardi, who has long beenopen about her past as a stripper.
“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’s real name Onika.)
A source previously told PEOPLE that it initially looked like the pair “might hug it out” before “it all went down.”
“Cardi walked towards Nicki and all of a sudden Cardistarted screaming somethingabout her child. She was yelling, ‘Bitch you feisty. Bitch don’t talk s— about my child’ at Nicki,” the source continued.
Representatives for the rappers did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
The source went on to explain to PEOPLE that Cardi “threw her shoe because she couldn’t get through” to Minaj, who “was there with eight or nine bodyguards.”
As for the welt on Cardi’s head that she was seen exiting with, while the source isn’t sure what happened, they’re confident that Minaj was not responsible for the injury.
“Nothing seemed to start the fight other than Cardi seeing Nicki up close,” the eyewitness added. “It definitely seems to stem from deeply rooted issues.”
