Minaj claimed<\/a> in a post Thursday night she was originally intended to be featured on Drake\u2019s song \u201cRich Baby Daddy\u201d instead of SZA but declined, appearing to accuse her of having sex with Drake (Drake and SZA dated<\/a> in 2009, but it\u2019s unclear whether Minaj is referring to their brief relationship or a more recent interaction).<\/p>\n Minaj<\/a> on Thursday responded to a post<\/a> SZA made on Wednesday, in which the singer said Minaj knows her music because she had \u201casked for features twice\u201d and rapped lyrics she wrote on Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s 2014 song \u201cFeeling Myself,\u201d alleging neither her nor Beyonc\u00e9 \u201cwanted to sing those sh\u2014 lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n Minaj also reposted a video<\/a> appearing to show MackWop, a DJ known for working with TDE artists including SchoolboyQ, telling Minaj to \u201crelax before you get put in a blender.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIs this a threat ? @FBI,\u201d Minaj posted, stating in a follow-up tweet<\/a> she wants him \u201cinvestigated right away,\u201d alleging he has \u201cties to other ppl who\u2019ve been a part of very shady business,\u201d though it\u2019s unclear what she is referring to.<\/p>\n Minaj<\/a> tagged Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., in a post, stating MackWop \u201cpublicly threatened me\u201d and she \u201cnotified the FBI & CIA,\u201d and in response, Luna told Minaj<\/a> to text her and said she \u201cwill forward this to law enforcement immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n Why Did The Nicki Minaj-Sza Beef Start?<\/p>\n In her tweet about Henderson on Tuesday, Minaj accused him of \u201cbullying\u201d her after she \u201crejected his business proposition on more than one occasion.\u201d Minaj did not provide details about how Henderson bullied her, but claimed<\/a> she has \u201creceipts.\u201d Minutes after Minaj\u2019s tweets, SZA, who is signed to Top Dawg Entertainment and was managed by Henderson until December, made a post<\/a> stating: \u201cMercury retrograde .. don\u2019t take the bait lol silly goose.\u201d Though SZA did not mention Minaj in her post, Minaj seemed to interpret it as a diss. Minaj reposted a tweet<\/a> from a fan who said SZA \u201c\u2018coincidentally\u2019 came on twitter talking about \u2018not taking bait\u2019 and a \u2018retrograde\u2019 that\u2019s not even happening\u2026after not tweeting since june\u2026until nicki spoke out about her manager who\u2019s been harassing nicki since literally 2012\u2026\u201d (Fact check<\/a>: Mercury was not in retrograde at the time of SZA\u2019s post, but is now in retrograde as of Friday until August 10.) Minaj responded<\/a> to SZA\u2019s post, telling her to \u201cdraw your freckles back on,\u201d calling her a \u201cliar\u201d and stating she sounds \u201clike a fkng dead dog.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t give a f\u2014 bout none of that weird shit you popping,\u201d SZA wrote<\/a> in response to Minaj, who then responded<\/a>: \u201cShutup ugly. I\u2019m in a meeting so idk if u was still talking shit or not so if you didn\u2019t I\u2019ll delete later. Hoe.\u201d SZA denied<\/a> her tweet about Mercury being in retrograde was related to Minaj, and made several tweets celebrating the success of her tours and albums, before signing off: \u201cLemme go back to being calm shy and meek . Yall have blessed night!\u201d Minaj<\/a> continued to criticize SZA in more posts, stating if her music \u201cvanished right now\u201d the music industry would not miss her, stating SZA is not \u201cmore successful than me\u201d and that a \u201cvocal coach<\/a>\u201d would \u201ccost the btch her whole budget.\u201d Following Minaj and SZA\u2019s back-and-forth, Henderson made a post<\/a>: \u201cSo what did I miss?\u201d <\/p>\n What Does #justicefordemoree Mean?<\/p>\n Minaj included the hashtag #JusticeForDemoree under many of her tweets Tuesday night, referring to Demoree Hadley, daughter of Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. Minaj has emerged as a fierce critic of Roc Nation, the record label and entertainment company founded by Jay-Z, in recent months. Demoree Hadley reportedly<\/a> filed a lawsuit in Florida court earlier this year alleging her mother had her unlawfully detained and institutionalized under the state\u2019s Baker Act, which enables family members to seek emergency mental health care for loved ones. Minaj shared an interview<\/a> Hadley gave last week in a post on X, in which Hadley accused her mother of trying to control her by orchestrating her detainment. In her post, Minaj accused Perez and Roc Nation of also attempting to exert control over her. \u201cRemember the 3 Times my home was swatted claiming a \u2018man\u2019 in the home had a gun?!?!! Does this not all sound FAMILIAR to what did & what IS happening to me?\u201d Minaj posted, referencing multiple swatting incidents<\/a> she has faced in recent years. On Thursday, Minaj made a post tagging the FBI and CIA claiming she would give them information relating to Perez. \u201cHey @fbi @CIA I\u2019m willing to be a snitch just like DESIREE PEREZ if it has to do with her, ROC NATION or TDE!!\u201d Minaj wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n What Did Minaj Previously Say About Megan Thee Stallion And Jay-Z?<\/p>\n Minaj targeted both Megan Thee Stallion and Jay-Z in social media posts last week, both of which appear tied to her grievances with Roc Nation, to which Megan Thee Stallion is signed. Megan Thee Stallion and Minaj engaged in a high-profile feud in early 2024 in which both rappers traded diss tracks. Last week, Minaj taunted the rapper after a judge denied<\/a> Roc Nation\u2019s request to dismiss a lawsuit<\/a> that was filed against Megan Thee Stallion in 2024, alleging she harassed an employee by having sex with a woman while he was inside a vehicle with her. Minaj also accused Jay-Z of owing her money after his streaming service Tidal, which Minaj had a stake in, was sold. She also said<\/a> Jay-Z and Roc Nation \u201cruined hip-hop,\u201d \u201cruined touring\u201d and ruined social media in further posts. <\/p>\n Further Reading<\/p>\n
