It all started on July 15, when Nicki called out SZA’s manager, Terrence “Punch” Henderson, saying he was “bullying” her on “Twitter for no reason.” It’s unclear where those allegations stem from, but Punch did tweet about “Broken Barbies” earlier that morning–and while it’s the name of his “Room Full Of Mirrors” groupmate Lyric Michelle’s new song and has nothing to do with Nicki, she may have jumped to conclusions.

“So glad I have proof of being bullied by AND being lied on by a man PUBLICLY,” the rapper wrote on X, “on a platform I use for my JOB; after I rejected his business proposition on more than one occasion.”

She continued, “He failed to disclose to the public that I had rejected his business propositions— and thereby acted in what appears to be retaliation purposefully used to cause financial damages & to engage in a smear campaign against the brand.”

Shortly after Nicki’s rant about Punch, SZA took to X with her own message, writing, “Mercury retrograde.. don’t take the bait lol silly goose.”

Though the “luther” singer didn’t direct her tweet at anyone specifically, Nicki quickly accused her of subtweeting and immediately jumped into defensive mode.

“Go draw your freckles back on bookie,” she said to SZA in one tweet. “B***h looking & sounding like she got stung by a f***ing bee. dot dot dot *Draws on my fake freckles*.”

Minaj also called the singer’s achievements into question, focusing on a recent record her 2022 album SOS broke by going 9x Platinum in under three years. The milestone made SZA the only Black artist to spend over 80 weeks in the Billboard 200’s Top 10 chart, surpassing Michael Jackson’s previous record, per E! News.

“B***h put out a whole new album as a deluxe to an already existing album that was out for like a year or 2 so the original album could break records,” Nicki said. “Like what in the insecure lack of morals & integrity you doing? I thought she was like a real artist? Girl bye.”

In response to her first tweet calling SZA out, the singer simply replied: “I don’t give a f**k bout none of that weird s**t you popping.”

When one Nicki fan told SZA she doesn’t wanna start this feud, the singer replied, “I get bullied by millions online every day then step my ass out onna packed stadium tour where ppl show me REAL love . IN REAL LIFE . My parents are healthy and I’m the most successful I ever been . GET SOME F***ING PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL !!!”

Another fan accused her of “inserting herself” into a situation that didn’t involve her, to which she replied: “I wasn’t even talking about or to anyone I had just got off stage talkin bout retrograde . N****S @‘d ME . The F**K YES IM MAD NOW DO YOU NEED THAT !??”

In response to SZA’s back-and-forth with her fans, Nicki continued to rant about the songstress, retweeting AI explanations of why she’s more successful than SZA and even leaving voice notes about her disdain for her.

While she didn’t address the reason for her latest rant, directly, Nicki did retweet a post from her fan that seems to encompass why she’s upset.

“The whole issue is sza ‘coincidentally’ came on twitter talking about ‘not taking bait’ and a ‘retrograde’ that’s not even happening,” the fan wrote. “After not tweeting since june…until nicki spoke out about her manager who’s been harassing nicki since literally 2012…”

On The Breakfast Club this morning, Loren LoRosa broke down why this beef may have started in the first place, saying she reached out to Punch to ask, “how did we get here?” According to their conversation, the TDE President revealed that Minaj reached out back in 2020 about a SZA feature, which he said he would pass along. Nothing ever came of that interaction, and Punch claims he’s also “lost” about what caused Nicki to go off after that.

SZA has made it clear that she’s done with the back and forth, but knowing Nicki, this situation is likely far from finished.

Nicki Minaj has been airing out her beef with Jay-Z, Megan Thee Stallion, and Roc Nation as a whole for several days now. After mocking Meg for a lawsuit a former cameraman filed against her, the rapper turned her attention to Jay-Z, alleging he owes her hundreds of millions of dollars for her stake in Tidal.

When Jay first launched the music streaming platform, 15 artists, including Nicki, were gifted 3% Tidal equity, worth $56 million at the time, per Complex. In 2021, Tidal was sold to Square for $302 million, with Minaj and the other celebrity owners reportedly keeping their stake after the sale.

Now, Minaj is saying that she was offered $1 million for her share of the company, not the approximately $9 million that she would be owed if the company were valued at the price of the Square sale. Because of this, she is publicly blasting Jay-Z for allegedly owing her $200 million, including interest.

She also posted seemingly fake news about a long-standing paternity case involving Hov moving forward, highlighting a man who has been claiming to be Jay’s son for years now.

While we all know Jay-Z isn’t going to respond, at least publicly, one person we can always count on to chime in with the quickness is Ms. Tina!

While one of her babies wasn’t mentioned directly, Nicki taking aim at her longtime son-in-law, his company, and pushing claims he has an illegitimate child were enough for her to post a subtle response.

The author and fashion designer reposted a video from a Beyoncé and Jay-Z fan page, which shows Bey praising her mother for the strength she’s given her throughout her career.

“It’s so easy for you to get lost and just be so unhappy,” Beyoncé says of her life in the industry. “I’m always able to get back to myself because of you and because of the profound woman that you are.”

The caption, which was also reposted by Knowles, reads: “”Good morning it feels good to wake up knowing my favs didn’t lose their minds y’all have a great day remember to ignore the ignorance as @mstinaknowles would say ”

If Bey preaching in the video that this industry can make people lose themselves wasn’t direct enough, the caption certainly seems to prove that Tina (and possibly the whole Carter clan) think Nicki Minaj may have lost it.

This clapback comes just a few months after Tina called out Kanye’s “ignorance” for attacking Beyoncé & Jay-Z’s twins in one of his online rants, proving she’s not afraid to respond to negativity.

“It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil. But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper,” the 71-year-old wrote in her caption on Instagram back in March. “This battle is not mine, but the Lords, I know that God has got this.”

Knowles spoke about responding to criticism on her baby’s behalf earlier this year, referencing the “horrendous” rumors that Beyoncé faked her pregnancy with Blue Ivy.

“My family is so precious to me and babies are so sacred. So to hear people say the most horrendous things and call my whole family a lie, because we would all have to be part of that conspiracy and lie about something so sacred,” she told People. “It was the worst because I couldn’t say anything. My daughter was saying, ‘No, you’re going to make the story bigger.’ But it didn’t go away for a long time. It’s one of the most painful things for me, that people could be that disgusting.”

She added that the most difficult part of fame “is that people feel they can dog you out any kind of way and you’re not supposed to get upset,” she says, “but we’re still humans, and it hurts.”
