SZA and Nicki Minaj’s Social Media Feud
American rapper Nicki Minaj and R&B sensation SZA found themselves in a heated social media dispute this week. SZA publicly disclosed that she had declined collaboration offers from Minaj on two separate occasions, leading to a series of aggressive exchanges.
The Spark of the Feud
The conflict ignited after Minaj directed harsh comments towards Terrence “Punch” Henderson, President of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) and SZA’s former manager, accusing him of bullying following alleged business rejections. SZA, seemingly responding to the situation, posted a cryptic message about Mercury retrograde, which Minaj took as a personal jab.
Escalation and Responses
Minaj retaliated with a barrage of insults, questioning SZA’s contributions to the music industry. SZA, known for her reserved nature, broke her silence to counter Minaj’s claims, providing evidence of the rejected collaborations and defending her artistry and success.
Conclusion of the Feud
Despite the online uproar, SZA chose to step back from the feud, focusing on her ongoing tour with Kendrick Lamar. The altercation highlighted Minaj’s history of disputes with female artists and marked a rare moment of public confrontation for SZA.
