“Didn’t charge her for the hot girl summer verse that I recorded the night she BEGGED & BEGGED to go on my live. But it’s ok. My n**** Pluto charged her 250K for his verse.” pic.twitter.com/OGqUaWsi1z
Minaj recently posted cover art for her new single, featuring a pink high-heeled boot stepping into a large footprint.
This was accompanied by an image of a distressed-looking Megan Thee Stallion, leading to #Bigfoot trending on X.
Megan's new single 'Hiss' reportedly seems to target Nicki's husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender, referencing Megan's Law.
Following the release of 'Hiss' on January 26, Minaj previewed an unreleased track on Instagram Live, seemingly retaliating against Megan by referring to an incident where Megan was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in 2020.
During the live session, Minaj critiqued Megan's rapping skills, despite Megan having three Grammys.
Minaj also made several posts on X aimed at Megan and claimed she didn't charge the 28-yer-old rapper for her verse on the 2019 hit 'Hot Girl Summer', which reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"Didn’t charge her for the hot girl summer verse that I recorded the night she BEGGED & BEGGED to go on my live. But it’s ok. My n—a Pluto charged her 250K for his verse," Minaj reportedly stated.
