Nicki Minaj has released a new fashion range based on her fight with Cardi B.
The ‘Chun-Li’ hitmaker clashed with the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper at a New York Fashion Week party last month and after their feud escalated following the row, the 35-year-old star has used Cardi’s own words as a slogan on some new merchandise.
The collection features a fluorescent pink backpack, t-shirts and a bright purple jacket, all with the phrase ‘Nicki Stopped My Bag’ written across it.
The wording comes from Cardi’s choice of language when she defended herself after the fight after being escorted out of the party.
She fumed on Instagram: "I’ve let a lot of s**t slide. I let you sneak diss me. I let you lie on me. I let you attempt to stop my bags, f**k up the way I eat! You’ve threatened other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop f**king with them! I let you talk big sh*t about me."
The ‘Barbie Dreams’ hitmaker later lashed out at Cardi – who has been recording new music with Nicki’s former boyfriend Meek Mill – after footage of their fight surfaced online.
She said: "You knew that when that footage came out, you were about to look dumb. So your team, they hurry up and put out a statement. I didn’t stop anyone’s bags."
Nicki previously confessed she was "humiliated" by her fight with Cardi and was embarrassed by their behaviour, which allegedly included her rival throwing a shoe at her.
She shared: "The other night I was a part of something so mortifying, so humiliating to go through in front of upper echelon people – it’s not about black or white – people who have their lives together. I was mortified … I could not believe how humiliated I felt …. how we – and I use the term ‘we’ loosely – made ourselves look."
And she denied Cardi’s claims that the fight began after she had criticised the ‘I Like It’ hitmaker and her husband Offset’s two-month-old daughter Kulture.
She added: "I would never discuss anyone’s child. It’s so sad for someone to pin that on me. I would never talk about anyone’s child’s or parenting, I don’t give a s**t. It’s so crazy to me that people always need to make Onika the bad guy. if you’re right in whatever you’re doing, you don’t ever have to make someone into the bad guy. You know I didn’t say or never did talk about anyone’s child."
