Cardi B Admits to Fiery Confrontation With Rah Ali at Cannes Airport: Years-Long Feud Reignites in Dramatic Fashion

 Drama Erupts Again in Cannes

Cardi B and Rah Ali—two names that set the entertainment world ablaze after their infamous brawl at a New York Fashion Week afterparty in 2018 over Nicki Minaj—have once again become the talk of social media after a heated run-in at the airport in Cannes, France.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter Spaces), Cardi B laid out her side of the story, candidly admitting she threw a JBL speaker at Rah Ali’s head after feeling provoked by Ali’s “death stares.” “That’s where I popped off,” Cardi B recounted. “If you thought I was just going to let that slide, you’re out of your f*cking mind… I can’t live and die knowing someone put their hands on me and I never did anything back. I’m from the Bronx, you’re from the Bronx. You know what’s up.”

Cardi explained the drama began when Rah Ali kept staring her down in a private airport lounge. “So that’s when I threw a JBL speaker at her head,” she said. “And she said, ‘You feel better about yourself?’ She acted like she was going to fight, but she wasn’t really aggressive.” Security quickly intervened before things could escalate further.

Rah Ali’s Response: “Don’t Believe the Hype”

Rah Ali wasted no time responding on X, firmly denying Cardi’s version of events. “I will always be ready to protect myself at all costs, but at this stage in my life I’m not interested in making poor choices anymore. Had anyone in this whole world hit ME in my head with a speaker, you would, in fact, be seeing footage of me in handcuffs. I promise to God that did not happen,” she wrote.

Ali concluded calmly: “If it makes her feel better, I encourage you all to support that version. Mentally, I can handle it—I don’t mind. I will NOT be on this app acting a fool; all updates are on @its_onsite IG page. Have a successful and peaceful day.”

Cardi B’s Album Comeback: Is the Drama Just the Beginning?

This dramatic encounter comes as Cardi B is gearing up to finally release her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, set to drop on September 19, 2025, through Atlantic Records. Many fans speculate that this latest drama is just an appetizer for Cardi’s explosive return to music.
