Rapper Nicki Minaj has broken her silence after she was involved in a brawl with rapper Cardi B at a party here.

Minaj denied Cardi's claims that she insulted the new mother's parenting skills. Minaj said she was "mortified" after footage emerged of a scuffle at the event last week, reports mirror.co.uk.

Cardi, who gave birth to a daughter in July, later posted a lengthy message on Instagram accusing Minaj of making disparaging remarks about her skills as a mother.

Minaj has now spoken out to dismiss the allegations.

On her "Queen Radio" show on Monday, Minaj, whose given name is Onika Tanya Maraj, said: "The other night, I was a part of something so mortifying and so humiliating to go through."

She said that the crowd who witnessed the alleged disturbance was "upper echelon", adding: "The way they passed by looking at this disgusting commotion, I will never forget. I was mortified."

Minaj then denied having insulted Cardi as a mother and said: "I would never talk about anyone's child or parenting. I don't care about anyone's parenting. I don't give a s**t and it's so crazy to me that people always need to make Onika the bad guy.

"I just want to let the world know that Onika Tanya Maraj would never, has never and will never speak ill of anyone's child."

She added: "I am not a clown. That's clown s**t."
