Nicki Minaj says fight with Cardi B was "mortifying and humiliating" – Variety

Nicki Minaj went on the air Monday afternoon to address her fight with Cardi B at a Fashion Week event in New York on Friday. Speaking on Beats' Queen Radio 1, which one can hear on Apple Music, Minaj said the incident was "mortifying and humiliating," all the more so since it was "unpleasant and humiliating". it was held in front of "high level people who live together".

In response to the claim that Minaj made derogatory remarks about Cardi's newborn daughter, Minaj said, "These are all lies," adding, "I would never ridicule children. [It’s] so sad that someone pin it on someone. … I would never talk about the child or parenting. … These lies are ridiculous.

Using her real name (Onika Tanya Maraj), Minaj added, "It's crazy that people always need to make Onika the bad guy. … I wore a Vauthier dress to the mother's parade and I could not believe how humiliating it was – how we were doing.

Addressing Cardi directly, Minaj blasted, "You have entered my culture. I have never had to hit a DJ to play my songs. You call the cockroaches of black women. Real sluts never attack a woman. You are angry and you are sad. This is not funny. Help this woman. This woman is at the highest level of her career and she throws shoes?
