Ellen DeGeneres Pokes Fun At Nicki Minaj & Cardi B's Feud

Ellen DeGeneres sure knows how to make light of a situation.
On Monday's (October 29) episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the talk show host revealed some of her favorite pop-culture inspired Halloween costumes for kids, and one costume, in particular, got the Internet talking.
For the hilarious segment, Ellen put modern twists on the children's looks. So, when it was time for five-year-old Mila to show off her Nicki Minaj costume, Ellen was already prepared with her hilarious costume addition. "Now this is the shoe that Cardi B threw at you. See?" Ellen said as she put a high heel on the top Mila's Nicki wig.
Ellen's joke was in reference to the New York rappers' Fashion Week fight last month. As fans know, Cardi threw a shoe at Nicki during Harper's Bazaar's ICONs afterparty. Following the incident, the kept their distance, only throwing social media shade at one another here and there. However, things came to a head on Monday (October 29) when Nicki revealed new details about their NYFW showdown while on a radio show.
"Rah [Ali, Nicki's friend] beat Cardi's a** really bad. Rah beat [Cardi] so bad that I was mad at Rah... Rah didn't like her attitude the way she came at me," Nicki claimed. "Rah, punched her like 8, 9, 10 times — I’m talking about the hardest punches you ever heard in your life... Anybody that wanna pull up the surveillance footage, I will give you $100,000. Anybody that says that didn’t happen. I would never come up here and lie... I don't wanna put the footage out but..."
Nicki's words did not sit too well with Cardi, who responded to the "Barbie Dreams" rapper's radio interview with a scathing 11-part Instagram clapback. "You lie so much you can't keep up with your f**kin' lies," the "Money" rapper said (amongst other things). "First you say you've got the footage, but then you say you wanna pay somebody $100,000 if they give you the footage? Yo, make sense when you're talking!" Cardi also claimed to have been offered a number of deals first before Nicki, who later took them. The "I Like It" rapper additionally dished tea on their infamous collaboration "Motorsport," rebutted all of Nicki's earlier claims (which she made during her pot-stirring radio interview), and also provided receipts (tangible evidence) to back all of her claims against Nicki.
Despite their heated war of words, the two ended their feud with a truce. Nicki was first to wave her white flag, tweeting: "Ok you guys, let’s focus on positive things only from here on out. We’re all so blessed. I know this stuff is entertaining & funny to a lot of people but I won’t be discussing this nonsense anymore. Thank you for the support & encouragement year after year. Love you. ♥️" Cardi then shared a screenshot of Nicki's tweet to Instagram with the caption, "@Nickiminaj alright then! Let’s keep it positive and keep it pushing!"
