After Cardi was seen filming a music video in NYC wearing red bandana styled wig, Minaj's fans pointed out that earlier in the day Nicki was shooting with Fivio Foreign for their new collaboration "We Go Up".
Nicki fans couldn't help but tweet the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper, calling her out for copying Nicki. One fan wrote: "Cardi B copying Nicki is really getting to me. I like Cardi but make ya own moves darlin".
Another one commented: "it’s cardi copying nicki for me & tryna prove how she not☠️☠️☠️".
