Cardi B Claims She Threw Speaker At Rah Ali During Cannes Airport Argument, Rah Reacts

Cardi B claims that she and fellow Love & Hip Hop alum Rah Ali recently got into a heated exchange at the airport in Cannes, France, with Rah saying things didn’t go down exactly as the Bronx rapper described.

The “Outside” artist shared the story during an X Spaces session late Thursday (July 31), where she described running into Ali and knowing she would have to get her lick back for their altercation during the 2018 Harper’s BAZAAR ICONS Party, which Ali attended with friend, Nicki Minaj.

“I know that I’m grown and that I shouldn’t have that mentality, but let’s be f**king for real,” Cardi explained, saying Ali would’ve publicly deemed her a coward if she said nothing, going on to describe the night the former reality star allegedly hit her while she was held back by Minaj’s security.

“Your friend’s security and you attacked me…the security grabbed me and you attacked me, and if you thought I was gonna let that sh*t fly, you outta your f**king mind.”

“I can’t live and die knowing that somebody did put they hands on me and I never did nothing back,” she said. “Bi**h, I’m from the Bronx, you from the Bronx. You know what’s up.”

Cardi goes on to claim that Rah Ali stared her down while in the airport, resulting in Cardi starting an argument. When Ali dismissed the rapper, telling her to “grow up,” Cardi claims she then threw a JBL portable speaker at Ali’s head. Hear Cardi explain it all below.

The confession followed Ali’s description of events earlier that day, admitting that they did get into an argument, but claiming that Cardi threw shoes and bags at her, not a speaker. Ali doubled-down on this after Cardi made her claims.

“I will always be ready to protect myself at all cost, however at this stage in my life I’m not interested in making poor choices,” she wrote on X. “Anything and everything I execute is thoroughly calculated. With that being said, had anyone in this whole world hit ME in my head with a speaker, you in fact would be viewing footage of me in handcuffs. I promise to God that did not happen.”

She concluded, “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.” See her posts below.

Following the original incident, Nicki Minaj described the fight between Rah and Cardi on Queen Radio, saying, “Rah [Ali] really, really beat Cardi’s ass bad. Like really bad. … The hardest punches you’ve ever heard in your life.”
