In case you missed it and we weren’t invited to France so we did, things got turbulent at the Cannes airport when Cardi B and Rah Ali crossed paths, reigniting a feud that’s been brewing since New York Fashion Week 2018. What started as a tense encounter quickly erupted into public shots fired on their respective platforms, with both women standing firm on their accounts.
Rah Ali was first to address the drama, bringing the story to her Onsited podcast where she sat down with guest host Ray Daniels. Cardi wasted no time clapping back on socials, slamming Rah for trying to capitalize off the run-in. According to Cardi, the former Love and Hip Hop personality was simply chasing relevance. “I patiently waited for my moment and I didn’t hesitate to strike,” Cardi told her fans, making it clear this wasn’t some random pop-off, but a long-held grudge finally reaching its boiling point.
While Rah painted herself as composed during the confrontation, she expressed disappointment over Cardi’s actions. She claimed she remained calm while Cardi escalated the situation in public view. “It was shocking behavior. Especially from a mother of three,” Rah remarked, hinting that Cardi’s stature in the industry should come with more restraint.
But Cardi wasn’t hearing it. She revealed she had zero regrets about how it went down. In fact, she was ready to face legal fallout if it meant settling the score. “I didn’t care if I got arrested,” she shared. “The Bronx in me wouldn’t let it slide. I had to show my bodyguard I still stand on business.”
Rah, who noted she was unwell and navigating the airport in a wheelchair following a stretch at Paris Fashion Week, seemingly tried to take the high road. But the narrative continues to fracture online as fans dissect the moment across platforms.
Anyways, beefing in Cannes, at the airport no less … Wild times.
