This is not the first time that the two rappers have engaged in a public feud with each other. Previously, they have engaged in a famous beef, which consisted of targeting each other on social media and making subtle references in their respective songs against the other.

According to Complex, the drama between the rappers began when Cardi, as a rapper breaking into the scene, shared the stage with Minaj’s rival Remy Ma during 2017’s Hot 97’s Summer Jam festival. At the festival, Remy performed a special diss track against Minaj as well.

The feud intensified as misunderstandings piled on after Minaj and Cardi’s collaboration on Migos’ Motorsport, the music video for which saw Minaj performing on separate days, noted Complex.

In fact, the rappers’ feud reached a crescendo when during a 2018 New York Fashion Week event, the pair engaged in a physical altercation which involved Cardi throwing a heel at Minaj after one of her security personnel elbowed her, according to BBC. Both rappers subsequently took to social media at the time to share their differing versions of what happened.
