Rap beef is back.
Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion are a long way from entertaining fans with “Hot Girl Summer” in 2019. Now, they’re at odds through their music.
Let’s take a look at how the two rap greats became enemies.
Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion release “Hot Girl Summer” — August 2019
Megan Thee Stallion recruited Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign for 2019’s song of the summer, appropriately called “Hot Girl Summer.”
It became Megan’s first No. 1. hit on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart.
Megan Thee Stallion releases “WAP” with Cardi B — August 2020
A year later, Megan Thee Stallion — real name Megan Pete — released yet another summer anthem, the NSFW “WAP” with Minaj’s rap rival Cardi B.
The song quickly blasted onto the Billboard Hot 100 Songs chart at No. 1.
Nicki Minaj seemingly shades Megan Thee Stallion on “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” — March 2023
Fans suspected Minaj — born Onika Maraj — slyly alluded to her relationship status with Megan The Stallion with a horse in her 2023 single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.”
“I don’t f–k with horses since Christopher Reeves,” Minaj quipped, referring to the actor falling off a horse in 1995, leaving him paralyzed.
Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B team up again for “Bongos” — September 2023
Looking to strike gold twice, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B released “Bongos.”
It peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Chart.
Megan Thee Stallion releases “Hiss” — January 2024
Adding major fuel to the fire, Megan Thee Stallion released her single “Hiss.”
Megan raps, “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.”
Megan’s Law refers to the federal law that makes information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders. Fans suspected this was a direct jab at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, who was convicted of attempted rape in 1995 and received a three-year probation sentence in July 2022 after failing to register as a sex offender in California in 2020.
Nicki Minaj goes on Instagram Live, releases “Big Foot” — January 2024
Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” infuriated Minaj. The day after its release, she ranted on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
This prompted Minaj to release her own track, “Big Foot,” in which she repeatedly says, “Lyin’ on your dead mama, on-on your dead mama,” which refers to Megan’s late mother, who died in March 2019.
She also quips, “The bitch fell off, I said, ‘Get up on your good foot,’” referring to Megan being shot in the foot by rapper Tory Lanez.
Is Nicki Minaj nominated at the Grammys 2024?

Billie Eilish scored the Best Song Written for Visual Media award for “What Was I Made For?” before the main Grammy broadcast.
