It's no secret that Nicki Minaj and Cardi B aren't exactly best mates, but we never thought it would turn physical.

Unfortunately that's exactly what happened when they pair both attended Harper's Bazaar ICONS party in New York on Friday night.

The pair were caught on camera fighting, with Cardi launching her shoe at the Anaconda hitmaker.

Police were called and she was escorted out of the New York Fashion Week bash by security, with a monster bump on the head and no shoes on her feet.

Sources at the event gave details of how it happened, telling Page Six, “It was bad. They were separated by security, but Cardi was still trying to get at her.

"She took of a giant red shoe and threw it at Nicki - who was being blocked up against a wall by huge security guard.

“There was a giant fist full of hair on the floor. One of Cardi’s assistants came and grabbed it and took it with her.”

According to TMZ, a member of the security team tried to intervene and elbowed Cardi in the process, leaving the huge mound on her forehead seen as she left the party.

While it's not clear what started the fight, the US rapper took to Instagram to give her side of the story.

The star, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, wrote, "I've let a lot of s-t slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, f-k up the way I eat!

"You've threaten other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you'll stop f-kin with them!! I let you talk bit s-t about me!! I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!!

"But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f-kin off! I've worked to hard and come too far to let anybody f-k with my success!!!!

"B-hes talk all that sh-t in they raps but in real life they p-y. This sh-t really is for entertainment."

Nicki is yet to comment on the fight, instead choosing to stay silent and post chic snaps from the bash.
