Cardi B said she got into it with Rah Ali in a Cannes airport lounge to settle their long-standing beef over the 2018 Nicki Minaj fight.

Cardi B revealed she confronted Rah Ali in a heated airport clash in Cannes, France, throwing a speaker at her during what she described as long-awaited payback for their infamous 2018 New York Fashion Week altercation tied to Nicki Minaj.

The Grammy-winning rapper didn’t hold back during a Thursday night X Spaces chat, detailing how she tracked down Ali in a private lounge after spotting her at the airport in a wheelchair.

“That’s where I’m a pop it off,” Cardi said, explaining she didn’t want to risk a public run-in that could land them in jail. “If you thought I was going to let that s### fly, you out of your f###### mind.”

Cardi said she couldn’t avoid a confrontation because Ali might later claim Cardi backed down.

“I can’t live and die knowing that somebody did put they hands on me and I never did nothing back,” she said. “B####, I’m from the Bronx, you from the Bronx. You know what’s up.”

Cardi said Ali stared her down in the lounge, prompting Cardi to take action.

“So that’s when I threw a JBL speaker on her head,” she said. “And she said, ‘You feel better about yourself?’ She’s acting like she’s gonna fight, but she wasn’t really like aggressive.”

Cardi added that her security stepped in before things escalated further, and police quickly arrived to break up the scene.
This incident occurred in June, when Cardi was in Cannes to perform at Cannes Lions 2025. x

I always assumed that either Nicki or a security guard were the ones who caused the bump on Cardi’s forehead.
