Disappointment for Nicki Minaj fans in England! The rapper’s show has been postponed after she was detained by police in the Netherlands. Minaj was taken into custody when authorities allegedly found marijuana in her bags at the airport as she prepared to leave the country. While Dutch police did not identify the 41-year-old rapper, they confirmed an American woman was arrested for illegally exporting soft drugs from the Netherlands.
Nicki Minaj, known for her bold persona, has been stirring up controversy. Recently, she faced criticism for her behavior, with some calling her out for acting like a “mean girl.” Amidst the chaos, Megan Thee Stallion has also entered the fray, adding fuel to the fire.
It’s a hot girl summer, and the drama between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has reached new heights. After some silence, Megan mocked Nicki following her arrest in Amsterdam, and Nicki did not hold back. She retaliated by airing Megan’s dirty laundry, but Megan quickly fired back, accusing Nicki of having a substance abuse problem, which she claimed led to Nicki’s arrest in Amsterdam.
This beef is heating up like never before, and it’s only getting more intense. Grab your popcorn because this drama isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
The situation took another twist with allegations of a bullet fragment controversy. The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion seems to be reigniting old drama. Nicki believes Megan has been throwing shade since her arrest. Reports indicate that Nicki was caught trying to bring weed into the Netherlands, although the police have not officially named her. They did confirm the arrest of a 41-year-old American woman attempting to export soft drugs to another country.
Nicki Minaj Goes Live During Drug Drama: “I’m Not Carrying Drugs!”
Nicki Minaj went live on Instagram right as the situation was unfolding, making it clear she was in the thick of it. She emphatically stated, “Carrying drugs? I’m not carrying drugs, okay? But it’s not a question you, I think it’s—I’m not carrying drugs. Number one, when I came here, my—the go inside, I’m not going in there. I need a lawyer present. You will get a lawyer? No, I need a lawyer present. Now. Okay, please, where am I going? I have no idea where I’m going. You to go to the police station? What? How? What address is that? It’s 5 minutes away. It’s 5 minutes? What? What’s the address of the police precinct? When you will catch your next show, we have to do it very fast, and we will help. With? But you’re talking about my show? Yes. What about it? Uh, yeah, we—they will help to try to get you there. They’ll help to try to get me to my show very—to do it as soon as possible. What am I doing?”
Nicki also ranted about efforts to sabotage her tour. “They’re being paid big money to try to sabotage my tour because so many people are mad that it’s this successful and they can’t eat off me. They got selling money from my travel jets, got fired, got mad, etc. This is how they plant things in your luggage.” She claimed the substances found in her luggage belonged to her security guard and not her, saying they were trying to make her take the fall out of spite and to sabotage her tour. She tweeted, “Now they said they found weed and that another group of people have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. They didn’t know I was planning for them just like they were planning for me. Me filming every single thing made them really mad.”
Amidst this chaos, Megan Thee Stallion posted a couple of side-eye pics, which fans interpreted as throwing shade. Comments flooded in, like, “Dropping a mean face, car pick, and all this madness, you’re such a queen. You posting these while Miss Bigfoot got arrested? Gorgeous as always, Meg!” Fans quickly dubbed Nicki the “jail lady,” and Nicki, catching the shade, was not amused.
This isn’t the first time Megan has been accused of shading Nicki. Their beef has been simmering for a while, with Megan subtly throwing shade and Nicki taking offense. In her latest song, “Boa,” Megan addressed the drama surrounding her song “Hiss” and how Nicki kept coming for her, rapping, “I took a [expletive] on bees and left them behind. How do you hate me if I’m in your mind? Sending me messages, ain’t Valentine. Bees is messy, but I’m petty. Don’t got to edit, check the Getty. I keep it real, I keep it sexy. Calling for back up before they address me. Girls do all of that typing, but never once did I get pressed. It’s obvious, bees obsessed.”
Megan fired back, saying, “All that [expletive] talking, but let’s see who really makes a move. Post a picture, bees call me mother. Now who sonning who?” This is classic Nicki wordplay, where she calls these “bees” her sons, asserting her dominance over the female rap game. Megan then called for Nicki to retire, saying her time was up: “Bees doing all that w-w-w-w, be your time up. Why is you not clocking out? Doing this for TikTok, be I’m really hip hop. They all know my [expletive] is hot. And listen when your [expletive] drop. All my diamonds dancing and I don’t need to make no TikTok. Be your time up.”
Social media is buzzing with chatter about Nicki being too old and needing to hang up her mic. But let’s be real, Nicki’s in her 40s, not her 80s. And isn’t 40 the new 20? Yet, every time she clashes with someone, the retirement talk surfaces. Megan’s TikTok line is a clapback to Nicki’s verse in “Seeing Green,” where she shaded people, saying they should stick to dancing. The drama between Nicki and Megan has deep roots. If you’re in the know, you saw this showdown coming. The tension’s been building for a while.
Once upon a time, Nicki and Megan were music BFFs. Megan was a huge Nicki fan, and Nicki even featured on the remix of Megan’s hit “Hot Girl Summer.” Their fun Instagram Live session had Megan gushing, “Nicki’s my idol. Been rocking with her since middle school.” But since then, Nicki’s fans, the Barbs, have accused Megan of cozying up to Nicki just to get a feature. Whether that’s true or not, Nicki’s been a big deal in the rap game, especially for newer female artists. She’s held her throne as the top female rapper for ages, going head-to-head with the male rappers. It’s no surprise that many up-and-coming female rappers idolize her. But as they say, never meet your idols. Many of these new rap queens end up clashing with Nicki.
Things between Nicki and Megan started to sour around 2020. Many believe it was triggered by Megan collaborating with Cardi B on “WAP,” which didn’t sit well with Nicki. Nicki and Cardi have been feuding since their collaboration on “Motorsport” by Migos, which escalated into a major drama, culminating in the infamous New York Fashion Week showdown in 2018. While they’ve toned down their public spats, the tension remains, evident in the subtle social media jabs. When Cardi and Megan released “WAP,” it fueled speculation about the rift between Megan and Nicki, especially after Megan quietly unfollowed Nicki on Instagram around that time.
Their beef mostly stayed lowkey, with just an occasional shady remark here and there. For example, in Megan’s interview with CR Fashion Book, she was discussing everything from her self-confidence to her music taste. However, what really got people talking was her thoughts on women in the music business. Fans picked up on her subtle shade during that part of the conversation when she was asked about women in rap and if she believed they were finally being appreciated. Megan responded, “Women are killing it in the rap game, so there’s no debate about our staying power. There’s still work to be done in terms of equality in hip-hop, but it’s come a long way, and we have to thank the queens that paved the way for my generation. There is no Megan Thee Stallion without Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Trina, Gangsta Boo, Missy Elliott, Lil’ Kim, Eve, and so many others.”
That interview caused a big stir because she didn’t mention Nicki Minaj as one of her influences. But hey, interviews can be intense, and names can slip your mind when you’re on the spot. Not taking sides here, just saying. And let’s not forget, Megan’s not the only rap girlie catching heat. Fans have also accused Nicki of throwing shade at Megan, especially during Megan’s messy label drama. Some thought Nicki was taking shots at Megan’s album sales when she released “Traumazine” in 2022. At the time, Megan was battling her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, and going back and forth with Carl Crawford, the label’s boss. It got so heated that Megan almost canceled “Traumazine” altogether. When the album finally dropped, it sold only 69,000 copies in the first week, which is pretty low for Megan. After that, Megan went back to suing her label, accusing them of messing with the album sales and marketing. It was a big mess, no doubt about it.
Before the official records came out, Chart Data tweeted, “Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Traumazine’ aiming for top 10 debut on the US albums chart with 40 to 50,000 units sold first week.” Shortly after, Nicki tweeted, “They want to be us so bad.” While Nicki didn’t mention Megan directly, the timing of her comments was highly suspicious, especially with all the shady tweeting going on. So, yeah, tensions have definitely been brewing between them. Fans also thought Nicki was throwing jabs at Megan in her track “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” released last year. They focused on the lyrics where Nicki raps, “700 on them horses when we fixing to leave, but I don’t [expletive] with horses since Christopher Reeves.”
This mention of horses had layers and double entendres. It referenced actor Christopher Reeve’s tragic horse accident but also seemed like a possible dig at Megan Thee Stallion—you know, “stallion” like a horse. Some fans took it as Nicki saying she’s not cool with Megan anymore because she teamed up with Cardi B. Fans dissected every line of “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” especially the part about “40 and 30 clips,” seeing it as a nod to Megan’s altercation with Tory Lanez, coming right after the horse reference.
Things escalated when Nicki performed the song at Rolling Loud, emphasizing the line about horses. This got tongues wagging even more, with people convinced she was sending a not-so-subtle message to Megan.
Horsepower Drama Ignites as Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj Trade Blows
“Seven hundred on them horses when we fixing to leave, but I don’t [expletive] with horses since Christopher Reeve.”
When Nicki Minaj dropped her track “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” Megan Thee Stallion was noticeably quiet on social media, likely due to the ongoing Tory Lanez trial drama. The situation had fans divided, creating a tense atmosphere online. But soon after Nicki’s apparent onstage diss, one of Megan’s writers, Buddha Bless, posted a cryptic tweet: “This soon,” with a horse emoji. This tweet ignited speculation that Megan was gearing up to respond to Nicki with a new track.
Nicki’s jab seemed to hit home, as Megan broke her social media silence and made a dazzling appearance at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. Her stunning look sent a clear message that she was back and ready to face any challenges.
When asked about new music, Megan simply replied, “Bye.”
Nicki then released “Pink Friday 2,” and fans quickly dissected the song “FTCU” for hidden meanings. They latched onto the line, “Stay in your Tory Lanez, be I’m not Iggy,” interpreting it as a veiled shot at Megan. Given the high-profile trial involving Tory Lanez, the connection seemed obvious. Despite the trial’s conclusion, the controversy lingered, with some people unfairly blaming Megan for Tory’s downfall.
Rumors also swirled that Megan had been accused of copying some of Iggy Azalea’s music video visuals. Nicki’s line about “staying in your lane ’cause she’s no Iggy” added another layer to the tension.
Megan responded with her track “Hiss,” filled with subtle shade. One standout line was: “These girls don’t be mad at Megan. These girls mad at Megan’s Law.” Fans quickly linked this to Megan’s Law, a U.S. law requiring public disclosure of registered offenders, a topic especially sensitive for Nicki, whose husband is a registered offender due to a past conviction.
The reference struck a nerve, bringing renewed attention to Nicki’s husband’s legal issues and past controversies. The fallout was immediate, with Nicki allegedly having a social media meltdown, firing back at Megan both directly and indirectly. In an Instagram Live, Nicki previewed a new song “Bigfoot,” seemingly throwing more shade at Megan with lines like, “Bee, she’s like six foot. I call her Bigfoot.”
Megan retaliated by posting a laughing meme of herself on Instagram, escalating the feud even further. Nicki responded by mocking Megan for still having a bullet fragment from the Tory Lanez incident and criticizing her personal life.
The ongoing drama between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj continues to captivate fans, who eagerly watch for the next round of shots fired.
Nicki Minaj recently went on a heated Twitter rant, directing her fury at Megan Thee Stallion. The drama started when Nicki responded fiercely to some old accusations, saying, “Bullet fragment? Bullet fragment, [expletive]? Now listen here, ho. Y’all mad because y’all don’t have somebody that loves you and stands to hold you down behind you. So you’re bringing up 30-year-old tea from when this child—when this man was a 15-year-old person, child. You’re bringing up 30-year-old tea ’cause no man has ever and will ever [expletive] love you. And lying on your dead mother. On your dead mama. I don’t do a lie on a dead mama.”
Nicki didn’t stop there. She continued with a series of tweets addressing various issues: “Y’all want to bring up family members and lying on your mother. Told me to drink and go to the clinic if I was pregnant, all because I wouldn’t let your funky butt pour liquor down my throat. Bee thinks she a bully ’cause she got a Roc Nation brunch every year. Bee mad at Party, he told all your tea, but you taking shots at my family? Get up on a good foot, go apologize to your mother, you nasty serpent.” She also took shots at Megan’s personal life and career, saying, “Megan’s Law for a free beat, you can hit Megan raw,” and criticizing Megan’s understanding of her contract: “Went to college and claimed she don’t understand a contract. Dumb bee.”
Nicki directly called out Megan: “You scary. Broke up scared of me putting a song out but trying to spar with the queen. Lying on your dead mom.” She even retweeted a fan’s post accusing Megan of using Nicki for attention, saying, “Bigfoot is a professional. She is not going to respond to Nicki. She needs Nicki to look like a bully because she profits off of sympathy.”
Megan Thee Stallion fired back by mocking Nicki’s recent arrest, escalating the feud even further. The rap community has been buzzing with mixed reactions—some expressing concern for Nicki and others finding amusement in the drama. Fans have been divided, with comments like, “Nicki is a classic narcissist, and if you ask me, she rose during an era when she was the only female rapper among mostly men. Now that she has competition, she’s turned into a nasty bee, and she’s ruining her legacy off the back of a ninja that’s an SAer.”
This messy feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has captivated the internet, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Are you Team Nicki or Team Megan?
