Are Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé feuding?
Nicki Minaj is always one to speak her mind and the Barbie Tingz singer just added fuel to
rumours she may be feuding with one-time collaborator, Beyoncé.
It all started when Nicki’s remix of Doja Cat’s Say So was released on May 1 and
featured the lyrics “Why you talkin’ ’bout who body fake? With all them fillers in
your face, you just full of hate/That real a** ain’t keep your n*gga home/Now
you lookin’ silly, that’s word to silicone.”
A previous version of Nicki’s verse did not have the
line in question, leading many to believe there was beef. The lines seemed
innocent enough until some keen listeners said it could be a reference to Queen
Bey’s verse on Megan Thee Stallion’s Savage
remixwhich was released just
days before.On the verse, Beyoncé raps
about having a “real a**”.
The rumour mill started going again with last week’s
release of 6ix9ine’s Trollz which
features Nicki Minaj repeating the line “That real a** ain’t keep your n*gga
home.”
Speculation is rife on social media as fans share their
take on the possible feud, but neither camps has addressed the issue.
The pair have previously collaborated on two singles, with Nicki Minaj spitting fire on Bey’s 2014 Flawless remix and Bey returning the favour on the rapper’s Feeling Myself that same year.
There’s no obvious reason the two would be butting heads, but some have said it could do with Bey and husband Jay-Z’s close relationship with Meek Mill, Nicki’s ex.
