Cardi B is never far from the drama! The Bronx rapper just set social media on fire after candidly revealing her explosive encounter with Rah Ali—Nicki Minaj’s longtime friend—at an airport lounge in Cannes, France. This jaw-dropping story has reignited memories of their infamous brawl at New York Fashion Week back in 2018, proving that some feuds never die.

Fate Collides in Cannes: The Airport Lounge Showdown

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) Spaces, Cardi B spilled all the tea about the tense face-off. According to Cardi, the two ran into each other in a VIP lounge at the Cannes airport, and the atmosphere instantly turned electric. “If you thought I was gonna let that sht fly, you’re out of your fcking mind,” Cardi declared. “I can’t live and die knowing that somebody put hands on me and I never did nothing back. B*tch, I’m from the Bronx, you’re from the Bronx. You know what’s up.”

Cardi continued, “She kept staring me down, so I threw a JBL speaker at her head.” The tension was sky-high, but Rah Ali allegedly responded with a cold, “You feel better about yourself?” According to Cardi, Rah acted tough but didn’t really get aggressive. Security quickly intervened before things could spiral into an all-out brawl right in the middle of the airport.

Rah Ali Claps Back: “That Never Happened!”

Rah Ali wasted no time addressing the incident, taking to X to shut down Cardi’s claims. “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,” Rah wrote. “If anyone in this world hit ME in my head with a speaker, you’d be seeing footage of me in handcuffs. I promise to God that did not happen.”

She added, “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.”
