I don’t care if I got a fallout with somebody, I love to get the results.” Indeed, the “Me Too” rapper previously expressed his belief that Savannah may not be the perfect match for LeBron, based on the way she looks at him while doing their special handshake before his games compared to the way other women fawn over him.

It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives.

But she kept it going.” The real spark of the fight came when Cardi saw that Nicki had allegedly liked and then unliked a tweet about Cardi’s parenting skills, which Nicki has denied. “I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter,” Cardi continued. “I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass f–king mom. So for somebody that don’t have a child to like that comment?
