Nicki Minaj surprised many of her social media followers by launching into a savage attack on R&B singer SZA, who is currently on a joint arena tour with Kendrick Lamar.
It seems SZA posted about the Mercury Retrograde, warning her fans not to “take the bait,” and Nicki may have assumed the tweet was about her, although Nicki did not state what she was so angry about.
According to astrologists, Mercury Retrograde can affect some star signs more than others and cause explosive reactions and poor decisions.
the way she tweeted this to remind herself to stay positive during retrograde and Nicki Minaj’s negative ass caused HER to take the BAIT she was talking about djdhdhfjfjjc https://t.co/rc2MyUnuye

“B—h looking & sounding like she got stung by a f–king bee,” Nicki tweeted. She continued, “B—h where are those 30 million streams that disappeared on Spotify like your feaux freckles.”
SZA quickly responded, writing: “I don’t give a f–k bout none of that weird s–t you popping,” adding in a separate tweet: “I wasn’t even talking about or to anyone I had just got off stage talkin bout retrograde . N-ggaS @’d ME . The F–K YES IM MAD NOW DO YOU NEED THAT !??”
Her explanation only got Nicki more heated: “Shutup ugly. I’m in a meeting so idk if u was still talking s–t or not so if you didn’t I’ll delete later. H*e.”
She added, “Wait. Does Sza think she’s more successful than me? Lol yall catch me up pls. Sza if every song you’ve ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn’t even miss you. I’ve been to countries that never heard of you. I know you’re not THAT stupid are you? Stadiums? Did you look at the venues I played on my OWN headlined FESTIVAL tour out of the country last year? Bitch have you ever headlined to 80K ppl?”
Btch damn near broke that man back & leg. Bitch fat chubby & Skinny @ the same damn time. bitch where are those 30 million streams that disappeared on Spotify like your feaux freckles. #JusticeForDemoree #DrNow
Botting tweets when you arguing is just as weird as sza pic.twitter.com/neC3j84naB— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) July 15, 2025
She added: “B—h what have you ever done besides yodel with auto tune that needed retuning? Boo im an icon. You’re not. The end. Pay that man for almost breaking his back. Why didn’t u speak up when your exec was bullying & harassing me ya dirty mangy c–t?”
And she did not stop there: “Listen, MZA. … I said find you some motherf–king else body to play with, b—h. You already played with your own, h*e, and we see how that went, b—h. And, you know, I don’t surgical shame or body shame, you know I don’t even do that. But b—h, I don’t know if you fat, obese, chubby or skinny, you see, and so now I got to call Dr. Now to make me figure out what the f–k has been going on here. B—h, because what retrograde were you in, ma’am? You see what happens when you’re so thirsty to be stupid and motherf–king corny?”
The old Nicki Minaj I grew up with is far gone. Her, Drake and Wayne are easily the biggest losers in rap right now. Like what did SZA and Doechii do to you besides having a Grammy, that you don’t need. Delete Twitter, because it’s ruining your image, which is already in pieces. https://t.co/SLmN2yUXiZ
