Rappers Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got into an altercation Friday night at an event at the Plaza Hotel during New York Fashion Week. Cardi reportedly threw one of her shoes at Nicki, but she missed. Nicki managed to stay out of it, but one of her security guards is to blame for elbowing Cardi just above her eye, giving her a nice lump. Cardi took to social media to explain that she was tired of Nicki spreading lies and talking badly about her, especially when it came to her newborn daughter.
