However, Cardi B took to Instagram to further fuel the beef with Nicki, recording a lengthy rant, saying "That 'Woman Like Me' record? Yeah, I had to decline it because I'm doing a lot of pop records so I can't over exaggerate myself.
"But that came to me first," continued Cardi B. Little Mix were quick to respond to Cardi B's claims that she was originally meant to feature on 'Woman Like Me'.
Taking to Instagram, Little Mix posted a message, saying "Sorry, Cardi, hun, but this is the T. We've always wanted the Queen". They confirmed that they weren't shading Cardi B, before sharing an exchange of messages on WhatsApp, confirming Nicki Minaj as the featured artist on Tuesday, 24 July.
