Nicki Minaj has once again stirred the pot on social media, this time with a series of explosive tweets that fans believe are aimed at Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and the company’s CEO, Desiree Perez.
The rapper lit up Twitter/X on Thursday night with cryptic but sharp posts, which many interpreted as veiled accusations against the music mogul and his powerhouse label.
The speculation was further fueled by Nicki’s reference to “Banned From NO,” a controversial remix of Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter VI track. In the remix, Minaj includes the line “fire some n**as,” which listeners believe is a direct jab at Roc Nation’s role in the NFL’s Super Bowl programming.
While Minaj didn’t name-drop anyone directly, fans and industry watchers were quick to draw connections, citing the timing and context of her remarks as highly suggestive of tensions with the Roc Nation camp.
As of now, neither Jay-Z nor Desiree Perez has publicly responded to the claims.
“Needing the Barbz is @ an all time high for every distraction,” Nicki Minaj wrote. “So let me start talking about what I’ve found out. About them. Real juicy. Confirmations. #MakeABaby #BannedFromNO #PaidMoles Order in the court.” “They don’t want you to see what I’m liking [on Twitter],” she alleged in another tweet. “So that feature was demolished. Listening devices. Cameras. Car tags. Pages you don’t follow under the ‘following’ section of X now? Hmmmmmm. Do I get paid for that? #MakeABaby #BannedFromNOremix NFL FIRE SOME N***@z & den [phone emoji].”
In addition, she seemed to reference Desiree Perez’s legal issues with her daughter, who alleges the CEO falsely committed her to a mental institution under Florida’s Baker and Marchman Acts.
“All sounds so familiar,” the Young Money femcee tweeted. “Trying to tear a husband away from his wife & family with lies & friends in high places. Yuck. No more distractions.”
The reason why people made the alleged connection to Perez was because Minaj replied “…” to a tweet that seemed to allegedly reference the allegations against her. “How sick do you have to be to plant listening devices and cameras in your grown daughter’s bedroom? Listening in when she and her husband are intimate. Claiming you do this for love?? No b***h your [sic] just sick #BannedFromNORemix #MakeABaby.”
