Cardi B apparently snapped while on the set of "Saturday Night Live," and it was all because of a joke about Nicki Minaj.
According to a report TMZ published on Wednesday, February 25, the "Bodega Baddie" rapper was in the middle of rehearsing before her performance on SNL when she overheard the "Weekend Update" anchors running through their lines before dress rehearsal. Bardi heard one joke that referred to Nicki Minaj's newfound love for the Make America Great Again crowd and went off. She allegedly threw her phone at a TV monitor, went up to the producers' office, and punched a screen until she destroyed it.
The joke had nothing to do with Cardi B, but she was furious due to her ongoing beef with Minaj. For the unfamiliar, Bardi and the Queen Barb went at it last year during a nasty spat on social media. The Queens native crossed the line with Cardi after she dragged her kids into their dispute, which made her even angrier.
Cardi B threatened to leave the show over the joke. It was eventually removed from the sketch before the show aired. The screen was also replaced, but the incident left the cast and crew shook. As of this report, Cardi B has not commented on the situation.
The report comes a day after Cardi B denied any involvement in a study that proved bots help spread Nicki Minaj's social media posts. After a report about Nicki Minaj's bots went viral, a Trump advisor pointed out that the company that conducted the study is connected to Cardi B's manager, Mike G. Bardi didn't waste any time distancing herself from the report and threatened to sue the advisor.
