Nicki Minaj is back in her digital bag — and this time, the target is none other than SZA.
Let’s unpack this mess, because it’s giving Mercury in Ghetto-grade.
🥊 The Spark: Nicki vs. Punch (and a Whole Lotta Subtweets)
According to Forbes, the drama started when Nicki Minaj accused TDE president Punch of harassing her for years — allegedly after she rejected multiple business offers from him. No names were named, but the shots were fired.
Then… enter SZA.
Sis logged on tweeted:
“Mercury retrograde .. don’t take the bait lol silly goose.”
Now, we all know how Twitter works — vague tweet + timing = assumed shade. Nicki certainly thought so and so did her Barbs.
😤 The Clapbacks Begin
Nicki immediately picked up the sub and retweet-activated, boosting a fan tweet claiming SZA was sneak-dissing her — even though Mercury wasn’t in retrograde at the time. (It is now — from July 19 to August 10.)
Then, Nicki unloaded:
- “Draw your freckles back on.”
- “You sound like a f**king dead dog.”
- “Shutup ugly. I’m in a meeting…if you didn’t [talk shit], I’ll delete later. Hoe.”
🧘♀️ SZA Responds… Calmly(ish)
SZA tried to tap out of the chaos, replying:
“I don’t give a f— bout none of that weird shit you popping.”
She clarified her post wasn’t about Nicki and tried to pivot back to positivity, celebrating her sold-out tour and Billboard stats before signing off with:
“Lemme go back to being calm shy and meek. Y’all have a blessed night!”
But Nicki wasn’t done. She came back with:
- “If your music vanished, the industry wouldn’t miss it.”
- “You not more successful than me.”
- “A vocal coach would cost that b***h her whole budget.”
📈 But Let’s Talk Facts…
SZA is currently on a sold-out STADIUM tour with Kendrick Lamar, just finished a sold-out solo tour, and her last album is not that far away from making history. According to Chart Data, she’s about to become the first female artist ever to have an album spend 100 weeks in the Billboard Top 10.
Whether you like her whispery R&B style or not — the receipts are receipt-ing.
