The insider tells PEOPLE that as Cardi was the one to throw her shoe at Minaj, it remains unclear how she ended up with a welt on her head, but Minaj did not. The source adds that it’s possible the shoe could have ricocheted back and hit her in the face.

Before exiting, her entourage can be seen helping her cover up with the ripped material.
While her team initially tried to wrap the dress around her head to prevent cameras from getting a shot of her with the visible welt, they were too late, the source explains.
Additionally, the insider says Cardi did want to give a statement to police, who were already on the scene to provide extra security for the event and were not called in because of the altercation.
An insider previously told PEOPLE that Cardi arrived at the event first. After Minaj showed up, there was an “altercation” on the second-floor balcony during a Christina Aguilera performance.
“The scene was f—ing crazy,” the insider told PEOPLE. “It was entourage against entourage.”
“She left barefoot with her dress ripped and butt out,” the source added.
An NYPD Public Information Officer confirmed to PEOPLE on Saturday that there have been no updates in the case, noting that “at this point in time we don’t have a complaint on either side.” An NYPD Public Information Officer previously told PEOPLE that no arrests had been made and officials were on the scene after the argument.
