Nicki Minaj Escalates Feud with SZA, Hints Beyoncé and Drake Also Passed on “S—t Lyrics”

By Posha Aloyo

In a fiery turn of events, rap queen Nicki Minaj has taken her ongoing feud with fellow artist SZA to new heights, and she is not going alone.

During a recent performance, Minaj stunned fans with a pointed remark about SZA’s songwriting, declaring, “none of us wanted to sing those s—t lyrics.”

The jab, widely interpreted as a reference to past or potential collaborations, sent shockwaves through the crowd and set the internet ablaze.

The controversial comment was delivered during a high-energy show where Minaj dazzled in a shimmering silver outfit, commanding the stage with her signature confidence.

But it was not her fashion that had people talking. It was the implication that both Beyoncé and Drake, two of music’s biggest names, also opted out of working with SZA due to concerns over lyrical quality.

Though Minaj did not name names explicitly, fans and insiders quickly connected the dots.

Speculation erupted that a collaborative track involving Minaj, SZA, Drake, and Beyoncé may have been in the works and ultimately abandoned.

Whether Minaj was speaking directly on behalf of the other two artistes or using their names symbolically remains up for debate, but the line “none of us wanted to sing those s—t lyrics” has already become part of pop culture conversations.

The Background of the Feud

Tensions between Nicki Minaj and SZA have been simmering for over a year. Fans have pointed to subtle digs on social media, scheduling conflicts, and moments of perceived shade during interviews and award shows.

Things escalated recently when SZA appeared to take a swipe in a now-deleted tweet: “It is always the ones who used to ghostwrite asking for features now.”

Minaj, never one to let a slight go unanswered, responded with a series of cryptic Instagram posts before addressing the issue head-on during her latest performance.

Her comment has not only reignited tensions with SZA but also dragged previously uninvolved artists into the spotlight.

Fans React

The backlash, and support, came quickly.

Social media lit up with commentary, with some fans praising Minaj for her honesty, while others criticized her for dragging Beyoncé and Drake into the fray without their public consent.

“Nicki always keeps it real, even if it means ruffling feathers,” one fan tweeted.

“But do not drag Bey into this. She’s never even acknowledged SZA like that.”

“Drake’s silence on this is deafening,” another user wrote.

“Is he really on Nicki’s side or just staying out of the drama as usual?”

Many fans expressed concern that the incident could cause unnecessary divisions in the music industry, especially among Black artistes who often advocate for unity and collaboration.

What Happens Next?

As of now, neither SZA, Drake, nor Beyoncé have publicly responded to Minaj’s comments.

But in the world of hip-hop, silence can often be louder than words.

Whether this rift continues to escalate or cools off behind the scenes remains to be seen.

But one thing is clear: Nicki Minaj has no plans to retreat from the spotlight or temper her voice.

If the feud continues, it could force other artists to take sides or quietly reconsider future collaborations.

In the meantime, fans are left to speculate, scroll, and brace themselves for whatever comes next in one of 2025’s most headline-grabbing celebrity clashes.
