Cardi B ended up with a sizable bump on her forehead, believed to have been caused by Minaj's security team, reports BuzzFeed. A person who witnessed the incident said Minaj was finishing up a conversation with someone when Cardi B approached aggressively and Minaj's guards intervened. TMZ has video, with Cardi B in red at the Harper's Bazaar "Icons" party. Cardi B reportedly threw one of her shoes at Minaj.
