She likes dollars, she likes diamonds, she likes throwing high-heeled shoes at people she doesn't like very much.
Cardi B's ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj turned physical over the weekend as the pair clashed at a New York Fashion Week event.
Footage posted on TMZ showed the pair trading verbal insults, with Cardi eventually throwing a red-heeled shoe at Minaj after allegedly being elbowed in the face by a security guard.
Minaj appeared unscathed from the incident.
The exclamation mark key on Cardi's smartphone took a much worse battering as the rapper continued the beef on Instagram, in a post which also featured a great deal of bad language.
It's certainly not the first music industry feud in history. It's not even the first Nicki Minaj feud with another female rapper in history.
Here's a look at some of the others.
1. Lady Gaga v Madonna
When Lady Gaga dropped Born This Way in 2011, a few people thought it sounded vaguely familiar.
One of those people was Madonna, who thought it was so similar to her 1989 hit Express Yourself that she performed putting the two songs together as a mash-up on tour.
"The only time I ever criticised Lady Gaga was when I felt like she blatantly ripped off one of my songs," Madonna said in 2015.
"It's got nothing to do with 'she's taking my crown' or 'she's in some space of mine.' She has her thing. I do think she's a very talented singer and songwriter. It was just that one issue."
That one issue, however, was enough to spark a feud which lasted several years.
Gaga - real name Stefani Germanotta - addressed it in her documentary Five Foot Two, released last year, suggesting that she was disappointed that Madonna didn't speak to her about it directly.
"No matter how much respect I have for her as a performer, I could never wrap my head around the fact that she wouldn't look me in the eye and tell me that I was reductive or whatever," she said.
2. Noel Gallagher v Liam Gallagher
As a band, Oasis were no strangers to scrapes.
An infamous chart battle in 1995 saw Oasis's Roll With It go up against Blur's Country House in a race for the number one spot - a contest Blur eventually won.
The competition was so high-profile it even made headline news, much to the bemusement of a somewhat younger-looking John Humphrys.
But there was another Oasis feud still to come - this time an internal one.
In 2009, the year Noel quit the band, he told Q his brother Liam was "rude, arrogant, intimidating, and lazy", adding: "He's the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."
Last year, Liam said Noel was absent from the premiere of a documentary film about the band because he was probably in one of his "really big houses, eating tofu and having a face peel".
Their brotherly battle rumbled on last year when Liam criticised Noel for not appearing at One Love Manchester - a concert to benefit the victims of the suicide bombing in the city.
But Noel defended himself by saying he was never asked to play at the show, adding that he'd donated the royalties from Don't Look Back In Anger to the Red Cross's Manchester Emergency Fund.
3. Kanye West v Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift's beef with Kanye West dates back to 2009 - and specifically, that year's MTV Video Music Awards.
Kanye wasn't too impressed with Taylor winning video of the year for You Belong With Me. He thought it should've been Beyonce's Single Ladies instead.
And, as we know, Kanye is not the type to bottle up his feelings.
The rapper took to the stage during Taylor's acceptance speech, grabbed the microphone, and said: "Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!"
The pair later made up, but a few years down the line, West claimed in his single Famous that the run-in had helped Swift's career.
Taylor claimed she had never given West's lyrics her blessing before the song was released, but then the rapper's wif
