In a video obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Cardi B can be heard screaming at her husband Offset and his cousin Quavo while backstage at the 65th Grammy Awards Sunday.
“Both of y’all wrong. Both of y’all. This is not right!,” says the 30-year-old rapper in the iPhone footage. “Shut the f—up. ‘Cause you shouldn’t have been talking.”
Cardi B was apparently trying to break up a fight between the Migos rappers, who allegedly got into a physical altercation just moments before the “In Memoriam” tribute to their fallen Migos member Takeoff.
As per TMZ sources, Quavo refused to let Offset participate in the tribute even after The Grammys had asked him to join. Sources for Offset also said that Quavo started the fight.
Quavo was instead joined by the Maverick City Music gospel choir, winner of four awards at the ceremony, as they performed an emotional rendition of Without You, his standalone single dedicated to Takeoff.

Takeoff was the youngest member of the hip-hop trio Migos, Quavo’s nephew and Offset’s first cousin. He was shot dead at 28 outside of a bowling alley in Houston in November.

Cardi B in a Gaurav Gupta Gown
Cardi B is known not just for her unapologetic lyrics and personality but also for her daring, often over-the-top fashion sense.
Showcasing yet another crowd-pleasing look, the Bodak Yellow hitmaker arrived on the red carpet at the Crypto.com arena in a dramatic electric blue gown by Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta.
The gown was a modified version of a design from Gupta’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection recently unveiled at the Paris Fashion Week. Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kylie Minogue are among his celebrity fans.

Cardi B flaunted her hourglass curves in the avant-garde number with architectural geometric cutouts, creating a sculptural yet fluid look. It also had a slit across her torso, a low-cut neckline, and a fitted skirt with a flowing train.
The I Like It singer didn’t get any nominations but attended the ceremony to present the Best Rap Album award to Kendrick Lamar for his fifth studio album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.
Striking some power poses, Cardi B had one side of her face covered with fabric like a veil. Underneath was a pair of Messika “Starry Night” High Jewelry earrings, which she teamed with the Roaring diamonds bracelet and the “Sirenetta” ring, curated by her stylist Kollin Carter.

Makeup artist Erika La’ Pearl gave Cardi B a full face of makeup using Pat McGrath and a glowing tan using Sol by Jergens’ sunless tanner.
She applied the “Desert Orchid” Divine Blush over her cheekbones and blended the “Enamoured” and “Barely Veiled” eyeshadow through the socket, crease, and outer corner of Cardi B’s eyes.
She also used the “Plum Provocateur,” the “Midnight Mink,” and the “Beige Bliss” eye shadow palettes to define and brighten her eyes, along with the PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil, “Blitz Blue” eyeliner, and fake lashes by iEnvy by Kiss. She topped off her look with the “Brownouveaux” Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil and Nude Venus SatinAllure lipstick.
A neat, center-parted low bun, done by hairstylist Tokyo Stylez, rounded out her beauty look.
