Nicki Minaj Says Rah Ali Gave Cardi B That Huge Lump During NYFW Feud, Offers $100K for Fight Footage

After it seemed to die down a bit, the beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B is in full swing.

The latest round started after Cardi’s sister Hennessy Carolina accused Nicki of leaking Cardi’s phone number.

It’s something that Nicki denied on her “Queen Radio” podcast, and she also talked about the skirmish between she and the “Bodak Yellow” spitter at New York Fashion Week.

If you recall, Cardi walked away from the fight with an egg-sized lump on her forehead, which Nicki said Rah Ali put there.

“Rah really beat Cardi’s ass bad,” said Nicki. Like really bad, and I’m not trying to be messy. You went home and told people that security hit you, and we let that lie continue because of legal reasons. I told Rah ‘Don’t tell anyone you hit her, because I don’t want nobody trying to sue me,’ ’cause they gonna come to the person with money.”

“I guess you had to look like a gangster in front of your friends and your family I get it,” she continued. “Rah beat you so bad that I was mad at Rah. I’m talking the punches was so hard in your head … But Rah didn’t like her [attitude].”

The “Anaconda” creator then talked about Hennessy’s claim that she leaked Cardi’s phone number.

“I’ve never leaked a number in my life, on God,” Nicki promised. “And y’all continue to lie on me, because it’s so important for you to make me look like a bad person. And I protected you from the situation of saying how badly you got beat. And that lady that was with you didn’t touch Rah, didn’t do a thing. Nobody that was with you did a thing and you know that.”

To prove that she’s telling the truth, Nicki said she’ll give $100,000 to anyone who can give footage of the melee. She also blasted Hennessy for making the leaked phone number accusation and talking about her on IG Live.

At this time, neither Hennessy or Cardi have responded to Nicki’s claims, but Hennessy got into it with Rah over the weekend after Rah said she gave the Bronx rapper that big knot.

“Keep playing with you dumb b—-, and Im’a rag you like I did your sister,” wrote Rah to Hennessy.

“I’m not scared of none of you water buffalo built ass b——,” Cardi’s sister shot back. “You knew better than to write that sh–, that’s why you deleted it. Save that bully sh–for IG and pop the f— out in real life.”

“I didn’t delete anything and you know that it’s very much still there unless you deleted it,” Rah replied. “I don’t have time to play on this Internet with you. You seen your big sis when she got home. You know what’s up. You next.”

On her podcast, Nicki said she wanted to end the beef with Cardi and wanted Hennessy to stop mentioning her name.

“Let’s make our music and let’s just be happy,” stated Nicki. “What’s going on? This is ridiculous.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
