Never one to miss an opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons, Nicki Minaj is attempting to cash in on her recent NY Fashion Week “fight” with Cardi B by launching a ‘Nicki Stopped My Bag’ merch line. It’s been nearly a month since the two rappers got into a physical altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party that left Cardi with a visible knot on her forehead.

As noted by Variety, Nicki has decided to have some fun (and line her pockets) with their ongoing feud by releasing a collection that was inspired by the “Bodak Yellow” rapper herself.

Following their fight, the former reality TV star took to Instagram to explain her reason for throwing a shoe at Minaj at the party.

“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— the way I eat!” Cardi wrote. She then went on to explain that Minaj attacked her parenting skills, which is what ultimately made her pop off.

“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—ing off!!” she added.

“Chun-Li” quickly responded on her Beats 1 show, “Queen Radio,” pretty much slamming Cardi B for being petty.

“The only thing on your mind after you [gave birth] was to attack people and to stop their bags. … And you wanna let your publicist write something about stopping bags?” Minaj said. “Real bitches never attack a woman. You’re angry and you’re sad. This is not funny. Get this woman some f—in help. This woman’s at the highest point in her career and she’s throwing shoes?”

On Thursday, Minaj shared an image of a pink backpack with the phrase “Nicki Stopped My Bag” written across it. She turned the phrase into a meme on social media to accompany her new line of backpacks, shirts, and jackets adorned with the same phrase.
