Cardi B confirmed Minaj's claim that she would not do the music video until Minaj removed a certain line from her verse, explaining that she was uncomfortable with Minaj rapping, "If Cardi the QB, I'm Nic Lombardi," which Cardi B felt was insinuating that Minaj had helped her in her career. Cardi B noted that this was not the case and also said that she didn't like the fact that the line was followed by "Bitch you my son, go sit on the potty."
