Two shock names emerged in the race for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, according to reports in France.

For the first time in almost two decades, neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi are in the conversation for the Ballon d’Or.

Indeed, the pair have won 13 Ballon d’Ors between them, with Messi having claimed eight, including last year’s edition, and Ronaldo on five.

But this year, with the duo in the twilight of their respective careers, a new generation of players is set to contest for football’s most lauded individual honour.

Real Madrid duo Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr have long been in the conversation for this year’s Ballon d’Or, with the former having starred in his first season with the La Liga giants, setting up the latter to score in the Champions League final.

Meanwhile, Manchester City’s Rodri is also thought to be among the leading contenders, having helped his club to a record fourth-successive Premier League title and won Spain’s record fourth European Championship title.

However, according to L’Equipe Argentina star Lautaro Martinez is also in contention for the Ballon d’Or, after scoring five goals in his six Copa America games, including the winner in Sunday’s final.

For Inter last term, Martinez also racked up 24 goals and provided six assists in 33 games for Inter, who claimed the Serie A title.

Meanwhile, the publication has also alleged that Dani Carvajal is in the running.

The right-back won his fourth La Liga title and his sixth Champions League crown at Real Madrid last season, scoring the opening goal in the latter’s final.

Carvajal was also a regular in the Spain team as they won Euro 2024, beating England 2-1 in the competition’s final.

The cause of the fight is said to originate from Nicki Minaj. An attendee of the event revealed to People that Nicki started the fight with Cardi first.

Specifically, according to this person, when Nicki Minaj was taking photos with Kelly Rowland and La La Anthony, Cardi B suddenly passed by at that time. Seeing her junior, Nicki Minaj intentionally stepped on Cardi B’s skirt.

Having her dress stepped on by Nicki Minaj, Cardi B immediately got angry and took off her shoes and threw them at her senior. Some witnesses present at the event said the incident happened so quickly that one had to watch the video again to understand the details.

In a video from another angle, the audience hears Cardi B cursing Nicki Minaj, and can see her taking off her shoes to throw.

After the altercation occurred, Cardi B left the event with a small wound, swelling into a large lump on her forehead. Female rapper Bodak Yellow ‘s outfit was also torn.

She was barefoot because she had taken off her shoes during the fight earlier. Some people even said they saw part of Cardi’s wig being pulled off.

Besides, Nicki Minaj did not react after the incident. She still attended the event and posted photos on social networks with a calm attitude.
