Cardi B Faces Allegations of Phone Throwing and Screen Punching This incident followed a joke made by Nicki Minaj during a practice session for “SNL.”
During rehearsals for the 1,000th episode of “Saturday Night Live,” an incident occurred when Cardi B overheard a joke about Nicki Minaj, which she did not appreciate.
Sources who spoke with TMZ indicate that Cardi reportedly experienced a significant meltdown during rehearsals for the January 31 episode. Sources suggest that one of the suggested jokes alluded to Minaj’s recent connection with MAGA and Donald Trump. Although the punchline did not directly involve Cardi, sources close to the situation report that the “Bodak Yellow” rapper reacted strongly after overhearing the setup.
The ongoing friction between Cardi and Nicki could potentially link to the response, according to reports. The performer of “Super Bass” has previously directed comments at Cardi’s children on social media, and that background has maintained a tense atmosphere between the two rap stars.
During the reported meltdown, Cardi allegedly threatened to exit the show as emotions intensified. It is reported that she threw her phone at a TV monitor backstage. Furthermore, she reportedly entered a producer’s office and struck a screen until it shattered.
The broken screen was said to need replacement before the dress rehearsal could proceed. The incident reportedly disturbed multiple individuals on set.
Cardi B has yet to publicly address these allegations.
