Nicki Minaj has reignited her feud with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, accusing them of sabotaging her career. According to Minaj, the Carters have been working behind the scenes to tarnish her reputation and block her from major opportunities in the music industry.
This long-standing tension has escalated in recent months, particularly with Minaj’s claims that they tried to replace her with Megan Thee Stallion as the new “queen of rap.”
The drama between Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has been brewing for some time, but the situation took a significant turn when Minaj suggested that the Carters signed Megan to Roc Nation with the sole intention of pitting her against Nicki. Minaj believes that Beyoncé and Jay-Z saw Megan as a way to overthrow her, leading to a major rivalry between the two rappers.
Adding fuel to the fire, Minaj has openly accused Roc Nation of sponsoring online attacks against her, as well as influencing major music platforms and events to sideline her. She pointed to the 2023 VMAs as a prime example, where Megan Thee Stallion was announced as the host, a role many expected Nicki to reprise. This announcement, according to Minaj and her fans, was another calculated move to push her out of the spotlight in favor of Megan.
Minaj’s beef with Beyoncé is particularly noteworthy because the two were once close collaborators, producing iconic songs like “Feeling Myself” and the “Flawless” remix. However, their relationship seems to have soured after Beyoncé started working with Megan and Cardi B, two of Nicki’s industry rivals. Minaj has been known to throw subtle jabs at Beyoncé in her music, with lyrics that fans have interpreted as shots at the singer’s appearance and career choices.
While many fans initially dismissed Minaj’s complaints as jealousy or paranoia, her latest claims have made people reconsider. Minaj suggested that Roc Nation, led by Desiree Perez, is spending millions to promote Megan at her expense, using underhanded tactics to boost Megan’s image and sabotage Nicki’s career. Minaj went so far as to threaten to expose Roc Nation’s internal workings, accusing them of firing people without cause and working to replace her in the industry.
Minaj has alluded to these incidents in the past, and recently posted footage from her shelved documentary “Queen,” where she discussed her experiences with domestic abuse. Although Minaj didn’t name Meek Mill directly, it was clear to fans that she was referring to him, further deepening the rift between her and Jay-Z, who continues to support Meek.
While the Carters have remained quiet amid Nicki’s ongoing accusations, fans have noticed a change in the way Nicki is treated by major industry players. The lack of public statements from Beyoncé and Jay-Z has only fueled speculation that there might be some truth to Nicki’s claims.
Whether or not there is, Nicki Minaj has made it clear that she’s not backing down. With her legion of loyal fans, the Barbs, standing behind her, Nicki continues to call out what she sees as an orchestrated campaign to bring her down, vowing to fight back and expose those responsible. The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and the Carters shows no sign of ending anytime soon, and if Nicki’s latest claims are any indication, the drama is far from over.
