Tensions were high at the annual Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party during New York Fashion Week after Cardi B attacked Nicki Minaj at the star-studded party for allegedly insulting her child.
The rappers altercation at the Fashion Week event Friday night left Cardi B, 25, bruised with a welt on her forehead and her Dolce & Gabbana gown ripped, sources told PEOPLE.
“The scene was f—ing crazy,” the insider told PEOPLE. “It was entourage against entourage. They had their altercation on the second-floor balcony, right above the red carpet. All of the sudden there was a big commotion and everyone didn’t know what was going on.”
Cardi accused Nicki of allegedly shaming her daughter, which an eyewitness at the party said was most likely the cause of the fight.
“Cardi walked towards Nicki and all of a sudden Cardi started screaming something about her child. She was yelling, ‘Bitch you feisty. Bitch don’t talk s— about my child’ at Nicki,” the source continued.
Representatives for the rappers did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
While Cardi B remained absent from other New York Fashion Week events since the explosive brawl, Minaj, 35, already appeared to be past the drama when she appeared front row blowing kisses to the cameras at the Opening Ceremony runway show on Sunday.

She also addressed the incident on her “Queen Radio” Podcast on Monday.
“So lemme just say this I was a part of something so humiliating. I wanna say I would never discuss anyone’s child or parenting,” she said referring to the incident. “I don’t care about anyone’s parenting. It’s so crazy to me how people want to make me the bad guy.”
