The beef between rappers Nicki Minaj and Cardi B is far from over, ladies and gentlemen. Almost a month after the pair engaged in a physical altercation at the Plaza Hotel during New York Fashion Week's (NYFW) Harper's Bazaar Icons party September 7, Minaj debuted a new merchandise collection that appeared to hint at her ongoing feud with Cardi.
Minaj's new line, which is available via NickiMinajQueen.com, features a unique tagline on multiple items. Shirts, backpacks and jackets boast the phrase "Nicki stopped my bag," which is a slang expression that references bags of money, or as CNN pointed out Friday is as an opposing phrase to "securing the bag." In other words, this means someone is preventing another person from earning money.
It also just so happens to echo what Cardi said via Instagram following the pair's scuffle

"I've let a lot of s— slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, f— up the way I eat," Cardi, 25, wrote. "You've threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you'll stop f— with them! I let you talk big s— about me!! I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!"

Minaj last referenced the pair's drama in September. After Minaj and Cardi brawled at the Harper's Bazaar Icons party, the "Chun-Li" hitmaker addressed the matter at hand on her Queen Radioshow on Beats 1 via Apple Music. As Minaj described the "mortifying" situation, she additionally suggested Cardi needed "some f—ing help."
"I was in a Alexandre Vauthier gown off the mother f—ing runway. I could not believe how humiliating it all felt...how we made ourselves look," Minaj, 35, said on September 10. "I would never discuss anyone's child and it's so sad that for someone to pin that on me because I'm the bad guy and people would believe them."
Added Minaj, "I would never talk about anyone's child or parenting. I don't care about anyone's parenting, and it is so crazy to me that people always need to make Onika [Onika Tanya Maraj, Minaj's real name] the bad guy."
Minaj's Queen Radio show appearance in September was also the first time she opened up about Cardi's "stop my bags" comment. In doing so, Minaj insisted she "didn't stop anyone's bags." Instead, she alleged the "Bodak Yellow" rapper "had to say that because she has built her career of sympathy and payola."
