New footage emerged of Cardi B yelling backstage at the Grammys following rumors of an altercation between Offset and Quavo.

Though there have been conflicting reports surrounding the alleged fight between Quavo and Offset, Entertainment Tonight obtained footage that appears to confirm that some sort of confrontation occurred backstage. ET shared footage that reveals Cardi yelling at several people backstage at the Grammys. However, it's unclear to who she's yelling at. “Both of y’all wrong! Both of y’all! This is not right!” she’s heard saying. “No bitch, shut the fuck up ’cause you shouldn’t have been talking.”

Evidently, something set off Cardi at that moment. Given how the video emerged after recent reports of an altercation, it seems likely that it was related to that. As the smoke settled, ET approached Cardi B and asked, “I heard you back here settled some stuff.” She brushed it off, claiming, “The only thing I settled was my outfit, honey.” 

TMZ broke the news yesterday that Offset and Quavo got into it backstage at the Grammys. While Quavo was set to hit the stage to perform his tribute for Takeoff, the Grammys reportedly asked Set to join him. However, Quavo allegedly blocked Offset from walking on stage and a physical altercation broke out. The outlet stated they needed to be pulled apart, just before Quavo went on stage.

Initially, reports claimed that sources close to Offset blamed Quavo for the incident. However, shortly after the news began to spread, the “Ric Flair Drip” rapper immediately denied that he and Quavo got into it. “What tf look like fighting my brother yal n***as is crazy,” Offset wrote.

Quavo performed his tribute song “Without You” during the Grammy’s In Memoriam segment. The Migos rapper and Maverick City Music choir joined forces for the segment. The performance marked Quavo’s first since Takeoff’s death and he made sure to represent his nephew’s legacy. He donned Takeoff’s chain down the red carpet before hanging it on the microphone stand and holding it up at the end of the performance. “Very important. Long live Takeoff," he told ET about the significance of being at the Grammys on Sunday night.

Along with Quavo, Cardi B also had duties to tend to on Sunday night. Cardi B presented the award for Rap Album of the Year to Kendrick Lamar. The former Rap Album Of The Year winner told ET that she was a bit edgy beforehand. “I was so nervous but I was so happy for him. Because he has such an amazing album," she said.

Cardi B hasn't commented on the footage as of yet. However, she shared a photo of Takeoff on her Instagram page this morning after ET released the footage. We'll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding the supposed altercation.
