Fans suspect the two women have been throwing subliminal shots at each other ever since Megan Thee Stallion linked with Nicki Minaj’s longtime rival, Cardi B, for the “WAP” collaboration in 2020.
Megan’s “Thot S###” from 2021 included the line, “Man, ain’t nobody come to see you, Otis.” On 2023’s “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” track, Minaj said, “But I don’t f### with horses since Christopher Reeves.”
Megan Thee Stallion reignited the perceived bad blood with Nicki Minaj by releasing her new single “Hiss” on Friday (January 26). The track features the Hot Girl Coach rapping, “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law.”
The Megan’s Law reference appeared to be a shot at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty. That federal law requires local authorities to make sex offenders’ information public. Petty was convicted for attempted rape by force of a then-16-year-old girl in 1995. He must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
“A Hit Dog Gonna Holler” – Megan Thee Stallion
Nicki Minaj shot back at Megan Thee Stallion in a series of Instagram Lives and X posts. Megan then called into The Breakfast Club to talk about the “Hiss” record. When asked who was the intended target of her diss, Meg answered, “A hit dog gonna holler, that’s it. Whoever feels it, feels it.”
The next 20+ hours saw Nicki Minaj constantly ranting about Megan Thee Stallion. At one point, Minaj mentioned Meg’s deceased mom. The leader of the Barbz said, “You better go conjure up your mother and apologize.”
Those comments by Minaj did not go over well with a large section of the general public. In particular, the conversation about family members brought up the fact that Minaj’s brother, Jelani Maraj, also received a 25-year prison sentence for repeatedly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter.
TikToker Bela Delgado Blasts Nicki Minaj
“Nicki really sat on live talking about Megan’s mother that died and had the audacity to say ‘go conjure up your mother’ now if someone brings up yo dead ass daddy and sex offender brother it’s a problem,” one X account tweeted. A motorist killed Minaj’s father, Robert Maraj, during a hit-and-run incident in 2021.
X users also made fun of Nicki Minaj’s day-long tirade as Megan Thee Stallion mostly remained quiet following the uproar caused by “Hiss” and the responses. One person wrote, “Nicki over there SPIRALING like a crack head fresh outta [cocaine] and Megan prolly at home watching anime.”
Additionally, TikTokers took aim at Nicki Minaj. For example, Bela Delgado’s video about the Queens native went viral. In the clip, Delgado called the Pink Friday 2 album creator a “disgusting and reprehensible person” and “the self-proclaimed queen of rape.”
Bela Delgado, who has 1.4 million TikTok followers, also slammed Nicki Minaj for her lyrics on Lil Twist’s “Old Enough (Remix).” In the 2009 song, Minaj rapped about wanting to have sex with a “young” boy behind the bleachers.
