Nicki Minaj demands $200M from Jay-Z: ‘Settle this karmic debt'
In a series of pointed posts on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday (July 8), the rap queen called on Jay-Z to settle what she described as a 'karmic debt' — and she already has plans for how she'll use the money.
'We've calculated about 100–200MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It's only collecting more interest,' Minaj wrote. 'You still in my TOP 5 tho.' She added a warning to fans: 'Anyone still calling him Hov will answer to God for the blasphemy.'

In a follow-up, she announced her intention to give back to her loyal fanbase, writing: 'I'm going to use some of the money #JayZ owes me to send some of my Barbz to college, pay their school fees & student loans via my #StudentOfTheGame charity.'

The feud escalates long-running tension between Minaj and Jay-Z, especially over the TIDAL streaming platform. Fans recently resurfaced posts claiming Minaj never received her fair cut from the TIDAL deal, which Jay-Z sold to Jack Dorsey's Square in 2021 for around $300 million. Minaj alleges she was only offered $1 million.
Adding fuel to the fire, Minaj also referenced Jay-Z in her remix of Lil Wayne's 'Banned From NO,' criticizing the NFL's decision to select Kendrick Lamar over Wayne for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Jay-Z has yet to respond to the accusations. Reps for TIDAL and Roc Nation have also remained silent as the controversy continues to unfold.

Nicki Minaj appears to shade Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B's rant was allegedly a response
Nicki Minaj's latest online posts have reignited feud speculation in hip-hop, with fans believing her jabs at Megan Thee Stallion sparked a viral response from Cardi B. On Tuesday, Minaj reacted to a federal judge's denial of Megan and Roc Nation's motion to dismiss a lawsuit by cameraman Emilio Garcia, referencing the situation with: 'What was the name of that law again???????? Karma's Law?... We give God the glory & he's only just begun.' She followed up with digs at Jay-Z, alleging he owes her between $100–200 million and promising to use it to help her Barbz pay for college. Just an hour after Minaj's posts began trending, Cardi B tweeted: 'Shut the f*ck up… Go to dinner, go shopping, go to the park… Get off the internet… ENOUGH!!' and 'Enjoy these looks and day… and ignore the bored… Love yall.' Though she didn't name names, fans quickly interpreted her posts as a response to Minaj's indirect shade towards Megan, with whom Cardi has maintained a friendly relationship. The online back-and-forth came as Cardi promotes her upcoming album Am I the Drama?, with the single 'Outside' recently debuting at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Fans continue to debate whether the posts signal a renewed clash or clever marketing. Meanwhile, Minaj's criticisms of Roc Nation and Jay-Z show no signs of slowing down, as she remains vocal about her belief in industry bias and unpaid royalties.

Drake dominates: Pusha T downplays Kendrick Lamar in new interview
Rapper Pusha T has made waves with recent comments in an interview with Elliott Wilson, downplaying Kendrick Lamar's legacy and admitting that Drake 'washes' both him and Kendrick. During the conversation, Pusha T claimed he couldn't recall Kendrick's lyrics, suggesting that Kendrick's influence may be overrated. 'If I had to compete? Drake washes us both,' Pusha T stated, acknowledging Drake's commercial dominance and ubiquitous chart presence. He emphasized Drake's consistency: 'He's been running the game for a decade—can't knock that.' Pusha T also revealed his perspective on Kendrick's artistic impact: 'I really couldn't even start Kendrick's verse,' he confessed. 'If I asked how it started, I wouldn't know.' This echoes a moment from Drake's 2013 Elliott Wilson sit-down, where Drake claimed Kendrick's 'Control' verse was unforgettable… yet no one could recall how it began. By contrast, Pusha praised Drake's ability to deliver hits and maintain presence. 'He knows the game—what to drop, when to drop,' Pusha remarked, noting Drake's strategic consistency over flash. Fans online immediately responded, sparking debate across Twitter and hip‑hop forums about who truly leads the rap hierarchy: lyricism or longevity. Many called Pusha's comments "honest," while others fiercely defended Kendrick's cultural importance. The full interview with Elliott Wilson is available on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, drawing significant attention from the hip‑hop community. Whether fans agree or disagree, Pusha T's blunt take on the ongoing Drake–Kendrick legacy conversation is igniting fresh discussion in rap's evolving landscape.
