**Nicki Minaj EXPOSES Jay Z For Using Kendrick Lamar To Bury Drake’s Career | Drake & Nicki RECONCILE?!**
Nicki Minaj has made headlines again, this time accusing Jay-Z of using Kendrick Lamar to sabotage Drake’s career. The drama unfolded after it was announced that Kendrick would headline the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, making him the first rapper to do so. While many fans celebrated this as a win for rap culture, Nicki didn’t see it that way and quickly took to Twitter (now X) to voice her concerns.
Nicki claimed that Jay-Z, who is known for his powerful influence in the music industry, is using Kendrick to overshadow Lil Wayne, Drake, and the entire Young Money crew. According to her, the decision to have Kendrick headline the Super Bowl in Lil Wayne’s hometown was a calculated move by Jay-Z to punish Wayne for his long-standing rivalry with Jay and Birdman.
But what surprised fans the most was Nicki’s passionate defense of Drake. Despite their strained relationship in recent years, she came out swinging in support of her former collaborator. Fans had previously noticed tensions between the two, with both rappers exchanging subtle disses over the years. However, Nicki’s latest tweets indicate that she still has a deep loyalty to Drake and Lil Wayne.
In a series of now-viral tweets, Nicki accused Jay-Z of being a manipulative force in the industry. She suggested that Jay is pulling strings behind the scenes to keep certain artists in line, implying that Kendrick’s Super Bowl slot was part of a bigger plan to diminish Drake’s legacy. She even threw shade at Beyoncé, calling out both Jay and Beyoncé for what she perceives as their calculated power plays in the music world.
Nicki also expressed her frustration over Lil Wayne being snubbed for the Super Bowl, especially since New Orleans is his hometown. She feels that Wayne, as a rap legend, deserves to be recognized for his contributions to hip-hop. In her tweets, she demanded that the industry give Wayne his flowers while he’s still here, calling out the industry’s habit of overlooking living legends until it’s too late.
As the drama unfolded, many fans were shocked that Nicki was going so hard for Drake, given their history. Their relationship dates back to their early days with Young Money, and while they were once very close—often joking about getting married—the two drifted apart in recent years. In 2013, fans noticed that Drake and Nicki were no longer speaking, and Drake even mentioned their falling out in his song “Tuscan Leather.”
The root of their fallout seemed to be Drake’s decision not to include any Young Money artists on his album, which Nicki took as a slight. Despite their differences, Nicki made it clear that her loyalty to Lil Wayne and the Young Money family would never waver. Now, it appears that she and Drake may have reconciled, at least for the sake of defending their shared legacy.
As for Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar, neither has responded to Nicki’s explosive accusations. Fans are left wondering whether this feud will escalate or fizzle out, but one thing is certain—Nicki Minaj is not afraid to speak her mind, especially when it comes to defending the people she cares about. Whether this signals a full reconciliation between Drake and Nicki remains to be seen, but for now, the rap world is buzzing with drama once again.
