Nicki VS Megan Thee Rap Beef

It was looking like the start of a fruitful friendship when Nicki Minaj joined Megan Thee Stallion for her “Hot Girl Summer” anthem in 2019.
More than four years later, things have gone awry as the pair of rap stars are entrenched in a scathing feud that not many had on their bingo card to kick off 2024.
Megan lit the fuse on Jan. 26 with her “Hiss” single, which seemingly took aim at an array of targets including Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty.
“These h–s don’t be mad at Megan, these h–s mad at Megan’s Law/ I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start/ B—h, you a p—y, never finna check me/ Every chance you get, bet your weak ass won’t address me,” Thee Stallion raps.
Minaj has been relentless in the days since and hasn’t let up on dragging Megan through the mud, which came to a head on Jan. 29 with the release of her combative “Big Foot” response single.
Nicki touches on plenty of things she referenced on social media previously, including Meg’s late mother, her rapping ability, the Tory Lanez 2020 shooting and much more.

Nicki Minaj and the Houston Hottie joined forces in Aug. 2019 alongside Ty Dolla $ign for their bubbly “Hot Girl Summer” anthem which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Prior to the song, Meg first linked up with Nicki during an Instagram Live where they showered each other with love and Thee Stallion revealed she’d been a Barb since ’08.
“We are gagging right now, we are dead. B—h, we love you! Since 2008, when I was in 8th grade, and I could listen to you,” Meg said.
Nicki explained that there were no plans for her to hop on the record but she fell in love with it and got to writing that same night. “But once I heard the song I fell in love. Wrote it b4 I went to sleep,” she wrote on Twitter. “None of that was planned. I had no idea meg was on live or that she would want to go live 2gthr.”
A couple of weeks after their initial IG Live, Nicki and Meg linked up for the “Hot Girl Summer” video shoot, where they went on Live once again, but this time, they were actually together on set.
Rocking matching red hair, the duo go back and\ forth about who was going to be “driving the boat.” Directed by Munachi Osegbu, the spicy “Hot Girl Summer” video has gone on to hit over 133 million views.
an era of female rap where every time an emerging rapper decided to work with either Cardi B or Nicki Minaj set off drama, Megan Thee Stallion cashed in on the opportunity to do both.
Meg teamed up with Cardi for “WAP” in August 2020, and the raunchy collaboration made history as the first female rap collab to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100.
At the time, Nicki Minaj took the high road, as she was quoted lending praise to Megan as a woman and an artist in a Variety feature on the Houston Hottie.
“One of my favorite things about Meg is her desire to further her education. It’s so important for women to feel inspired to achieve goals outside of social media, where the focus is usually placed on their bodies or who they’re dating at the time,” Minaj said.
“Women are more than just baby mamas, and we can continue to prove that by being goal-oriented, bettering ourselves and being independent. Megan is the perfect example that we can have fun and be smart at the same time.”
