The feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion is escalating as more individuals are drawn into the conflict. Recently, Nicki has been targeting Megan’s supporters, such as Ruby Rose. This intensified following revelations that Ruby had been privately criticizing Nicki, labeling her as an “evil-spirit woman” with a flawed physique. What particularly angered Nicki was Ruby’s disparaging remarks about her husband. The betrayal stung Nicki deeply because Ruby had previously hailed her as a major influence and source of inspiration. However, some observers weren’t surprised, citing past instances of Ruby throwing shade at Nicki’s husband. It appears that the entire feud between Nicki and Megan has become a platform for Ruby to take jabs at Nicki and her spouse once again.
As many of you are likely aware, Nicki Minaj has stirred up quite a storm online with her recent string of outbursts following a subtle jab from Megan Thee Stallion in her latest track ‘Hiss’. Though Megan didn’t explicitly name Nicki, her verses contained enough clues to set Nicki off. Lines like ‘These don’t be mad at Megan, these girls mad at Megan’s Law’ struck a chord deep within Nicki. For those unfamiliar, Megan’s Law is a federal statute enacted in 1996 in the US, requiring sex offenders to register when relocating. This reference directly alluded to Nicki’s husband’s status and her incarcerated brother.
Nicki’s response was swift and intense, taking to Twitter with a flurry of bizarre tweets, even accusing Megan of falsehoods regarding her situation with Tory Lanez. Venting on Instagram Live, she previewed a diss track aimed at Megan, airing grievances about personal attacks and alleging lies about her family and past actions. The tensions escalated with Nicki’s release of ‘Bigfoot’, essentially a reiteration of her social media tirades set to music.
The fanbase reaction has been one of disbelief, with many poking fun at Nicki’s fixation on Megan’s deceased mother and the recycling of her Twitter rants in musical form.
Now, things took a turn for the worse. While all of this drama unfolded, Ruby Rose added fuel to the fire by making some incredibly nasty remarks about Nikki and her spouse on her private circle of friends. Unfortunately, one of her close acquaintances decided to betray her trust and leaked screenshots of her derogatory comments. Before I share the details with you, I must warn you, Ruby didn’t mince her words when she went after Nikki. She said, “Nicki Minaj is downright wicked. Marrying a problematic individual was her only option. She’s got a pretty face, but her body’s been tampered with beyond recognition. Her spirit is malicious, clinging onto her past while desperately trying to stay relevant. Only in chaos did she find solace, but beefing with younger artists seems futile. At 40, it’s time to focus on family and deal with personal struggles.” It was a scathing critique, and needless to say, Nikki and her fans were outraged upon hearing it. This backlash was particularly surprising considering Ruby’s past admiration for Nikki. In fact, after the leak, people uncovered an old tweet from 2011 where Ruby expressed her desire to emulate Nikki, saying, “I wish I was Nicki Minaj.” Moreover, in a 2021 interview with Double XXL magazine during the peak of Nikki and Cardi’s feud, Ruby had staunchly defended Nikki, labeling her as the queen of rap. She had even declared Nikki as her ultimate favorite rapper and source of inspiration, emphasizing her admiration for Nikki’s visuals and persona. Just days before the Nikki and Megan beef erupted, Ruby had commended Nikki for being a significant influence on black girls worldwide, stating, “Nicki Minaj has undoubtedly shaped the lives of countless young black girls. She epitomizes what it means to be bold and unapologetic, paving the way for others to speak their minds freely.”
Alright, it’s evident that Ruby has been firmly on Team Nikki for quite some time. However, the recent feud between Nikki and Megan seems to have really unsettled her. Can we really blame her though? Nikki used to be a huge inspiration for girls worldwide before tarnishing her image with her current husband and engaging in conflicts with nearly everyone. Although many agree with Ruby’s sentiments, some have labeled her a hypocrite due to an interview she did with Vlad TV, where she seemed to downplay accusations against her friend Ian Connor regarding sexual assault.
On top of this drama, there’s also an unearthed interview from 2022 where Ruby appeared to throw shade at Nikki and her husband by suggesting Kenneth was financially struggling. This remark followed a question about whether she’d date a man with less money than her. Despite these conflicting statements, Ruby emphasized the qualities she values in a partner: loyalty, kindness, supportiveness, and consistency. However, she also mentioned preferences for a partner who is tall, financially stable, and preferably in PR, though she’s open to compromise on the financial aspect.
“We can certainly resolve this, but I’d prefer if it were nearby. I’m willing to assist, but I’m not keen on taking the lead in the relationship. I’ve noticed Nicki Minaj seems content, so I’ll follow suit. However, there’s been some drama. Nicki received criticism for remarks she made, prompting her to apologize on Instagram, clarifying that her words weren’t meant to be disrespectful. Meanwhile, Ruby Rose chose to stand her ground amidst the backlash, refusing to apologize. Instead, she playfully teased Nicki by posting photos with lyrics from one of her songs, receiving support from Megan Thee Stallion. Opinions on this feud vary, with some praising Ruby for speaking out and others criticizing Nicki’s behavior. What are your thoughts on Ruby Rose’s actions?
