Nicki Minaj vs. Jay Z & Beyoncé? Here’s the Tea Behind the Silent Feud That’s Heating Up Again
Is Nicki Minaj beefing with Jay Z and Beyoncé? If you’ve been on social media lately, the answer is giving a loud, pink-haired YES.
Yesterday, Nicki threw subtle shade and then not-so-subtle jabs at Jay Z, posting about the lawsuit from a man claiming to be his long-lost son — and the Barbz went wild. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know this tension isn’t new. Nicki has been dropping spicy little comments about Jay and Bey for years now.
So what really went down between three of the biggest names in music?
Media Take Out did some digging, and baby… the tea is hot.
From Dinner Guests to Distant Enemies
Once upon a time, Nicki, Jay, and Beyoncé were cool. Like, invited-to-their-house cool. Nicki was hanging out at the Carter residence and even appeared on Beyoncé’s “Flawless” remix, which had the internet shook.
But according to sources close to Nicki, everything changed after she invested in Jay Z’s Tidal venture. Yup — back when Jay was recruiting A-listers for his music platform, Nicki jumped on board as an investor.
Then came the plot twist: Jay allegedly reached out and asked Nicki to be managed by Roc Nation. Nicki, who’s always kept her career tight with her own team, declined. And that’s when things allegedly took a turn.
Enter: Megan Thee Stallion
A few months later, Roc Nation signed Megan Thee Stallion — and that’s where the tension really kicked up. Meg quickly became Jay and Beyoncé’s new fave. Not only did Roc Nation throw their full weight behind her, but Beyoncé herself jumped on the “Savage” remix, giving Meg one of the biggest career boosts of the decade.
Sources in Nicki’s camp say she felt replaced — like Jay and Bey were pouring all their energy into making Meg the next top female rapper… at her expense.
And according to insiders, Nicki believes Roc Nation started working behind the scenes to sabotage her — feeding into conspiracy theories that they were trying to erase her and elevate Megan.
What Roc Nation Says
We also reached out to a top executive at Roc Nation, and their side of the story is much more… corporate.
Their response? “We simply supported our artist the way any management team would. We didn’t do anything unusual or personal against Nicki.”
But Nicki? She’s not buying it. And she’s not staying quiet either.
Nicki’s Shade Game Is on 100
From sly lyrics to cryptic tweets, Nicki’s been letting her feelings fly. She’s hinted at “fake feminists” and “industry plants,” and just yesterday, she dragged up Jay Z’s legal paternity drama — a move many fans saw as crossing into petty territory.
Still, the Barbz are backing their queen. They believe Nicki is standing up against an industry machine that hasn’t always been kind to her.
Is There Any Hope for Peace?
Let’s be real — Jay Z and Beyoncé are rarely online, and they don’t clap back. And Nicki? She’s clearly in her “I said what I said” era.
This feud might never explode into a full-out war, but the tension is definitely real — and getting spicier by ....
So if you’re wondering why Nicki’s been in her shady bag lately? Now you know. The queen has her reasons — and she’s clearly not done talking.
