#NickiStoppedMyBag

About

#NickiStoppedMyBag is a satirical hashtag which people use to blame rapper Nicki Minaj for problems that the rapper could not possibly have had any involvement in. The hashtag spread as a way to subtly mock rapper Cardi B, who after an altercation with Minaj at New York Fashion Week, claimed Minaj blocked her from some opportunities. In an Instagram post, Cardi B wrote to Minaj, "I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags." "Stop my bags" is slang for blocking someone from making money.
