The online feud between Nicki Minaj and SZA continues to dominate headlines, with the Chun-Li rapper launching another wave of verbal fire late Tuesday night — this time during a surprise Stationhead livestream.
Despite SZA indicating earlier in the day that she was stepping back from the public exchange, Minaj made it clear she’s not ready to let go just yet.
What Sparked the Drama?
The feud first flared up when Nicki interpreted a tweet from SZA — “Mercury retrograde… don’t take the bait lol silly goose” — as a subtle dig aimed at her. This came amid Minaj’s public grievances with Roc Nation and its CEO, Desiree Perez, over personal family matters, including her daughter.
Minaj responded with a series of sharp tweets attacking SZA’s appearance, career, and social media past, prompting widespread conversation online.
Minaj’s Latest Rant: What She Said
During her Stationhead livestream, Nicki aimed once again, referencing old tweets from SZA’s now-deleted account where the SOS singer allegedly made critical remarks about Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Madonna.
“You are a yodeling fool who needs autotune… based off the screenshots, you’ve dissed every female entertainer it seems,” Minaj said. “Take your yodeling a– on somewhere else, b***h.”
She also described SZA’s vocal style as “reliant on autotune” and questioned her authenticity as an artist.
Nicki to Barbz: “It’s Entertainment, Not That Serious”
In a more reflective tone, Minaj advised her dedicated fanbase — the Barbz — not to take her feud with SZA too seriously.
“It’s not that serious,” she said, adding that her comments were largely “entertainment.” She emphasized that she doesn’t enjoy speaking harshly about fellow women in the industry.
“I hate having to speak like this to women. I know it might sound unbelievable, but I really don’t [enjoy it],” Nicki added.
SZA’s Silence — Strategic or Final?
SZA, known for her soulful vulnerability and massive streaming success, has remained largely quiet following the latest round of insults. Her previous response — highlighting her successful SOS Tour and expressing exhaustion over online bullying — might have been her final word on the matter.
What’s Next?
This beef — while unexpected — has sparked wider conversations about female unity in music, online toxicity, and the mental health impact of public feuds.
While fans of both stars continue to debate online, many are hoping both artists redirect their energy toward their music, where they’ve each consistently excelled.
