So, it looks like there’s a huge twist in the JT and Nicki Minaj saga. It turns out JT might have been using Nicki just to get ahead in her career. People are shocked because it seemed like Nicki and JT had a real friendship. Nicki even featured JT on her song and brought her out on tour. But now it seems JT might have been playing a long game, using Nicki for her own gain and planning to ditch her once she got what she wanted. Unfortunately for JT, Nicki caught on, and it looks like she’s not interested in keeping JT around anymore.
If you haven’t caught the drama between JT and Nicki, you’re in for a wild ride. So, JT just dropped her much-anticipated EP City Cinderella, and fans were buzzing since it’s her first solo project ever. She’d been hyping it up for a while, originally calling it her debut album, but switched to an EP just before the release.
While JT was getting tons of praise, people noticed Nicki Minaj was strangely quiet about the whole thing. She didn’t show any support or even acknowledge the EP’s release, which was odd because JT had been a huge cheerleader for Nicki’s Pink Friday 2. JT had shared posts, stories, and even made videos rapping along to Nicki’s tracks. It’s also worth noting that JT has lost connections with other female rappers like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion due to her loyalty to Nicki.
Remember when JT really put her career on the line to support Nicki Minaj? After the Grammys initially gave her and Ice Spice an award for “Barbie World” and then quickly took it back and gave it to someone else, JT tweeted out, “I salute Nicki Minaj for not tapping out and still dropping music knowing it’s so many odds against her. It’s big money to end Nicki, but it’s a bigger God. Being you, your legacy will never be undone. Nicki Minaj, I love you.” She caught a lot of flak for this, with some even calling her a lap dog, but she stood by Nicki and didn’t back down.
You’d think Nicki would at least show some support for JT by sharing a link to her album or posting about it on her stories, but nope—nothing. That wasn’t even the worst part. On the same day JT dropped her EP, Nicki went live on Stationhead with her fans and started stirring the pot. She made some shady comments that a lot of people immediately linked to JT. Nicki talked about someone who used to dislike her but suddenly seemed to be on her side. She hinted that she felt blindsided by this person and questioned why she let herself get close, given their past animosity. It’s a fair question—why would someone flip from hating you to loving you? Nicki’s vague remarks led many to think she was talking about JT, especially since JT had been a Nicki critic before they became friends. Remember that diss track JT made about Nicki and those old tweets where she age-shamed her?
We’re about to start selling out shows, and you’re now linked with Quality Control. You recently gave a shout-out to P. There’s a group over there that keeps mentioning your name because they’re interested in doing a song with you. Are you thinking about working with the City Girls next?
Next question.
That pause either means it’s already in the works or it’s still under consideration. A few years ago, I saw a video of the City Girls and thought it might be cool to collaborate with them. I even asked about them back then because I liked what I saw. But then social media came into play, and things changed. When people post or say negative things online, it sticks around forever. And the same goes for interviews. As a person—and an artist—those comments can affect how you feel. If I were planning to hang out with someone and then heard they’ve been saying bad things about me, it would make me rethink things. Even if I liked them, knowing they didn’t like me would make it tough to move forward. So, while I’ve moved past it, it’s hard to work with someone who’s been vocal about not liking me.
Recently, Nicki Minaj and JT patched things up through the City Girls’ manager. However, many people suspect that Nicki never truly forgave JT and was just putting on a front. This suspicion grew when Nicki made JT perform an old diss track again during an IG Live last year. It seemed like Nicki was trying to embarrass JT by making her rap the song live with thousands of people watching.
During one IG Live session, Nicki commented, “I could tell you were trouble because of all the crazy stuff you were saying and doing, like rapping diss tracks about me while you were in your car. What’s the name of that song again? I can’t remember.”
Nicki also said, “Can she even handle being out in the streets? I’m like a bag of groceries. Just drop it at [Music].”
JT later admitted she was really angry back then and isn’t sure why. Looking back, Nicki’s remarks seem to describe JT perfectly. JT went from being an enemy to a friend in Nicki’s circle. It seems Nicki didn’t fully get over the diss, though she chose to accept JT back. But it looks like JT might have done something to make Nicki question her loyalty again. There’s speculation that Nicki wanted JT to sign with her label, Heavy On It, but JT turned down the offer. Some people think Nicki’s frustration comes from JT not signing with her label.
Hey everyone! This might sound a bit wild, but Nicki Minaj has been trying to sign some female rappers to her label, and apparently, they’ve all turned her down. Nicki hasn’t taken this well. Recently, Baby Storm, Ice Spice’s ex-BFF, leaked screenshots showing Ice Spice’s frustration with Nicki. According to Ice Spice, Nicki was upset because she rejected an offer from her label. Ice Spice claimed that Nicki offered her a terrible deal and when she asked for a better one, Nicki told her to be grateful, referencing how Lil Wayne signed her years ago without complaints. Ice Spice felt that her situation was different since she was already signed elsewhere and didn’t want to downgrade. She felt that Nicki was gaslighting her and decided it was best for her mental health to distance herself from Nicki.
It seems like Nicki might have tried to manipulate Ice Spice into accepting a bad deal, but Ice Spice was savvy enough to see through it. It looks like something similar happened with JT, and now Nicki’s taking indirect shots at her on Stationhead.
People have had mixed reactions. One person said, “No one ever challenges Nicki’s status as the best female rapper, so I don’t understand why she has issues with other women just trying to succeed.” Another commented, “It’s no surprise. It’s well-known on Twitter that she’s bitter and will continue to be. JT turned on fans who supported her for someone who doesn’t even like her.”
So what do you think about Nicki’s diss towards JT? Do you think JT was being insincere, or is Nicki just acting out because she didn’t get her way? Let me know your thoughts in the comments,
