But despite the very public fall-out, Cardi, 25 - who has a two-month-old daughter called Kulture with fellow rapper Offset – stands by her decision.

Discussing the now famous incident, she told : "So many people want to say that party wasn't the time or the place but I'm not going to catch another artist in the grocery store or down the block."

She added: "I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter.

"I love my daughter. I'm a good-ass f***ing mom. So for somebody that don't have a child to like that comment?”

The Bodak Yellow hitmaker has claimed their skirmish was ignited after Nicki liked - and then unliked - a tweet about her parenting.

As well as recently becoming a parent, Cardi also married Offset in 2017.

But the chart-topping star has admitted she previously doubted whether they could sustain a marriage because of their jam-packed work schedules.

She shared: "When I got married with my dude, we still had a lot of doubts because our relationship is not like everybody's.

"He was always travelling and I was always travelling. We're artists.

"So I used to see him, like, twice a week, and, you know, he's known for having different women and I'm known for, like, not taking s**t from guys. But we really loved each other and we was scared to lose each other."
