Why Are Nicki Minaj and SZA Really Beefing on X? Fans Left Wondering as Rappers Hurl Insults in Sudden Feud

Pink Villaa day ago
Nicki Minaj and SZA are currently at odds on X (formerly Twitter), leaving fans confused about how the feud even started. The online clash began after SZA posted a cryptic message that Nicki Minaj took as a slight against her, and things quickly spiraled from there.
Cryptic tweet sparks Nicki Minaj SZA beef
On Tuesday, SZA wrote on X, 'Mercury retrograde..don't take the bait lol silly goose.' While SZA didn't name anyone, Nicki Minaj took the post personally. The rapper fired back, 'Go draw your freckles back on bookie #JusticeForDemoree #DepositionPerez Liar liar pants on fire. Sounding like a fkng dead dog.'
Fans were surprised by the strong reaction. One user asked, 'Nicki I'm genuinely confused. Why are you coming for Punch??' Another wrote, 'Why u posting about random people NOBODY knows?'
Here's how Desiree Perez and TDE's Punch got dragged into it
The tension didn't stop with SZA. Nicki Minaj's hashtags, #JusticeForDemoree and #DepositionPerez, pointed to ROC Nation CEO Desiree Perez. Minaj appeared to call out Perez for allegedly abusing her daughter Demoree. At the same time, Nicki lashed out at Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence 'Punch' Henderson for alleged past mistreatment.
SZA, who is signed to TDE, seemed to get pulled into the drama because of her connection to Punch. After Nicki's first post, SZA clapped back, writing, 'I don't give a f**k bout none of that weird shit you popping.'
Nicki Minaj doubles down with harsh words
The Nicki Minaj SZA beef got uglier when Nicki insulted SZA's looks and music. 'B—h looking & sounding like she got stung by a fucking bee. dot dot dot Draws on my fake freckles,' Minaj tweeted. She also wrote, 'Btch damn near broke that man back & leg. B—h fat chubby & Skinny @ the same damn time.B—h where are those 30 million streams that disappeared on Spotify like your feaux freckles. #JusticeForDemoree #DrNow.'
SZA defended herself, saying the original tweet wasn't about anyone. 'I wasn't even talking about or to anyone I had just got off stage talkin bout retrograde. N**S @'d ME. The F–K YES IM MAD NOW DO YOU NEED THAT !??' she wrote.
Trying to calm things down, SZA later tweeted, 'Lmao lemme go back to being calm shy and meek. Yall have blessed night ! See you tomorrow for night 2 Paris !!' But Nicki wasn't having it, replying, 'Shutup ugly #JusticeForDemoree I'm in a meeting so idk if u was still talking shit or not so if you didn't I'll delete later. H–.'
So far, neither star has offered more details about what caused this sudden fallout. But the heated exchange has left fans scratching their heads over why the Nicki Minaj SZA beef exploded in the first place and whether it will cool off anytime soon.

Ranjit Barot calls Chennai more professional than Mumbai as he recalls working with AR Rahman, Mani Ratnam on ‘Humma Humma': 'Bollywood is run by businessmen who have no respect for musicians'

Renowned drummer and music composer Ranjit Barot , known for his long-standing association with AR Rahman, recently opened up about his dissatisfaction with working in the Hindi film industry. He spoke about his collaboration with Rahman and Mani Ratnam for the 'Bombay' movie's soundtrack. The musician also revealed why he has grown disillusioned with the Hindi industry, which, according to him, is run by businessmen who show no respect to musicians. Ranjit calls South industry more professional than Bollywood In a conversation with O2India, Barot drew sharp comparisons between the music cultures of Mumbai and Chennai. He said that his bond with Rahman was rooted in friendship before it ever became a professional relationship. He also recalled their collaboration on the chartbuster 'Humma Humma', sharing that he knew the song was going to be a hit the moment Rahman played it for him. They had also discussed the Oscar-winning music director's decision to convert to Islam. Rahman had even shared stories from his childhood with Barot. Barot enjoyed the creative freedom on Mani Ratnam's sets, as the acclaimed filmmaker trusted their process entirely and never interfered. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Ratnam once saw him and Rahman chatting instead of working on the first day of composing Humma Humma, but he didn't intervene. Instead, Ratnam quietly left, believing that a relaxed and happy environment leads to better music. Kangana Ranaut takes a dig at Twitter after they raise concern over threat to free speech, asks 'Who are they?' Ranjit Barot opens up about his experience working with RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal Barot had also collaborated with RD Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal in the past, but he is now distancing himself from Bollywood projects. According to him, the treatment of musicians in Mumbai has drastically declined over the years. 'Chennai is far more professional than Mumbai. The respect for musicians is a lot more in Chennai. The Mumbai film industry is run by businessmen who have no respect for musicians. I had worked with Laxmikant-Pyarelal and RD Burman; producers in the 80s would be very respectful. Today, the producers feel like if they give you money, they own you. I don't owe anyone anything,' he added. He further criticised the commercial mindset prevailing in Bollywood, which he believes has affected the longevity and soul of music.
