Megan Thee Stallion praises 'kind' Klay Thompson as pair make red carpet debut
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are making their red carpet debut. The "Hiss" hitmaker, 30, and four-time NBA champion, 35, looked smitten at the rapper's inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on July 16. During a red carpet interview, the "WAP" collaborator told People magazine that "I won't tell you how and I won't tell you when, but it was a movie that (Thompson is) the nicest person I've ever met in my life." The rapper – who coordinated with her NBA All-Star boyfriend in matching black looks – also told Page Six that she has "never dated somebody so kind," telling the outlet that "this is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.' "I'm just grateful that he's here by my side and he feels the same way about me," she continued. The game-changing couple went public over the weekend when Thompson posted a carousel of photos July 13 featuring a shot of him and the Houston rapper in an intimate embrace. Later in the slideshow, another shot shows just their hands clasped together, beachside, Thomspon's blue and gold Rolex paired with Megan's baby pink acrylics and abalone shell jewelry. The post is captioned simply "Sweet Bells son 🌴 🥥," the emojis no doubt a nod to the Bahamas, where the two appeared to be vacationing. Thompson's father, former NBA player Mychal Thompson, is Bahamian. Fans of the pair first spotted Thompson in Megan's Instagram post days earlier, sparking romance rumors between the respective powerhouses. The Texas A-listers are the Lone Star State's newest power couple. After over a decade with the Golden State Warriors, Thompson was traded to the Dallas Mavericks last year while Megan is a Texas native, born in San Antonio and raised in Houston.

Inside Nicki Minaj's celebrity spats as she takes aim at SZA in viral tirade
Nicki Minaj isn't afraid to voice her opinion, no matter how fiery it may be. She recently went head to head with singer SZA, but this isn't the first time she's been embroiled in an online feud. Nicki Minaj has always been known for her rapping skills and Barbie aesthetic, but over the years she's also become known for her heated feuds. From Megan Thee Stallion, Taylor Swift and Mariah Carey, Nicki is far from picky about who she argues with. Just last night, SZA found herself on the other end of Nicki's vicious digs as the pair embroiled in a heated argument which started after SZA posted online: 'Mercury retrograde.. Don't take the bait lol silly goose.' Just minutes later the Superbass singer clapped back, with a response - and she didn't hold back. 'Go draw your freckles back on bookie #JusticeForDemoree #DepositionPerez Liar liar pants on fire. Sounding like a f****ng dead dog.' And it didn't stop there, with Nicki going on for hours and hours. While some fans were shocked, asking how it got so heated, those who know Nicki Minaj weren't surprised. Let's take a look back at the enemies Nicki has made along the way... Megan Thee Stallion The two singer‑rappers actually started out as friends, after Nicki joined Megan Thee Stallion 's Hot Girl Summer anthem in 2019. But it all went downhill when Megan released a song early last year called Hiss, where she let out all her feelings towards certain people. In the lyrics, Meg said: 'These h**s don't be mad at Megan, these h**s mad at Megan's Law,' which Nicki took as a direct diss to her and her husband, Kenneth Petty. Nicki was relentless in her response, going on for days and even releasing a song called Big Foot in response. This feud in particular left some of Nicki's fanbase - nicknamed 'Barbz' leaving the stan culture, after Nicki went as far as speaking about Meg's late mother and the Tory Lanez 2020 shooting. While many people say that when in a rap beef nothing is off limits, some think certain things don't need to be said. Taylor Swift Taylor Swift and Nicki had a brief disagreement on X which was fuelled after MTV announced that year's VMA nominations - and Nicki's hit Anaconda was left out, while Taylor's Bad Blood with Kendrick Lamar was nominated. Nicki took to X to rant, without directly tagging Taylor, she stated: 'I've done nothing but love and support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.' Nicki denied the tweets were about her and said she loved her - but the Taylor and Nicki spat ended up leading to Nicki and Miley Cyrus going at each other. Miley Cyrus While the feud started with Taylor Swift, it turned into more of a blow‑up with Miley Cyrus in the end. Disney star Miley admitted she felt personally attacked by Nicki's comments online, but instead of taking to X, Nicki waited for her moment on the VMA stage. After winning Best Hip‑Hop Video, she said: 'Back to this bi*ch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press; Miley, what's good?' - which quickly became an iconic moment for Nick.

Miley made it clear she didn't want any problems, responding: 'Nicki, congratu‑f**king‑lations.' Meanwhile, things stayed quiet for years, until 2019 when Miley reignited the argument with a lyric: 'I love you, Nicki, but I listen to Cardi,' on her song Cattitude. Of course, Nicki went full blast on her again during an episode of Queen Radio, after Miley sided with Cardi B - another star who Nicki had feuded with. Mariah Carey The pair first worked together as far back as 2009 when Nicki featured on one of Mariah's songs, but things turned sour when they both joined American Idol as judges. An insider claimed Mariah didn't see Nicki as "worthy of judging.' According to the source, Mariah had been saying little things to "jab at Nicki from day one" and added She doesn't think Nicki can sing and doesn't think she should be judging folks. Nicki has been taking all of the jabs, but on this particular day, she lost it,' reports People. Shortly after, a leaked TMZ video showed them arguing at the judges' panel, with Nicki shouting: 'I told them I'm not f*ckin' putting up with her f**kin' highness over there,' while Mariah fired back: 'Oh why, why do I have a three‑year‑old sitting around me?' Mariah added: 'I can't see my kids because you decided to act like a little crazy b*tch and go all around the stage.' The feud escalated further when rumours surfaced that Nicki threatened Mariah with a gun - which Nicki denied, tweeting: 'Hey y'all. Let's just say Nicki said something about a gun. People will believe it 'cause she's a Black rapper. Lmao. I'll then hit up Barbara [Walters] n milk it.' Cardi B This may be Nicki's longest‑standing feud. Fans noticed tension when the two shot their music video parts on different days. Cardi later implied Nicki switched her verses, and Nicki responded on X saying: 'The corniest thing you can be is ungrateful. Give thanks.' It seemed like things had cooled until September 2018 when they got into a physical altercation at an event. Videos showed Cardi attempting to throw a shoe at Nicki, yelling: 'Play with me b*tch… keep f*cking playing with me. Play with my f*cking kid b*tch… I'll f*ck your ass up.' Cardi was later seen with a bump on her forehead. If this feud couldn't be more memorable, it became even more iconic when Nicki admitted she was 'humiliated' by the incident - which might have been a first for her. To this day, their feud remains unresolved, with the two still trading digs on X. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!

Nicki Minaj vs. everybody? Here's why the rapper is crashing out on X
If you're on X, chances are your feed has been dominated by Nicki Minaj's latest spiral on the platform. The Queen of Rap is not holding back and this time she's dragging everyone down from Megan Thee Stallion to Jay-Z and the entire Roc Nation empire into the mess. But if you're wondering why this is happening, you're not alone. You're not alone. Here's a breakdown of what's going on. Nicki Minaj It all started when Megan Thee Stallion… From a deep dive into her account, it looks like the spiral started when a federal judge denied Megan Thee Stallion and Roc Nation's motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by cameraman Emilio Garcia, who alleged he was forced to watch Megan have sex in a car during her European tour. About the ruling, Nicki posted a cryptic Bible-laced post on X that many saw as a direct shot at Megan: 'What was the name of that law again????????? Karma's Law? Touch not my anointed law? Vengeance is the Lord's law?' She ended the post with: 'We give God the glory & he's only just begun… More money for me. We're working. Trust.' Let's not forget: the two rappers have had a turbulent history since 2024, starting with Megan's diss track Hiss and Nicki's clapback Big Foot. So, yeah, there's definitely no love lost here. Then came Jay-Z and the missing millions Next on Nicki's hit list? Jay-Z. First, she reposted a claim related to a resurfaced paternity suit against Jay-Z, originally shared by 50 Cent, writing: 'Oh is this why he was trending the other day? Idk. I hope all is well. To God be the glory.' Then she turned up the heat — accusing the rapper of shortchanging her in the sale of TIDAL. Back in 2015, Jay-Z acquired TIDAL for around $56 million and brought on a group of high-profile artists, including Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, J. Cole, and Madonna, as co-owners to help promote and contribute exclusive content to the platform. Reports at the time suggested each artist received a small ownership stake, roughly 3%. However, when Jay-Z later sold a majority share of TIDAL to Jack Dorsey's Square (now Block Inc.) for $302 million in 2021, questions began to swirl. According to Nicki, she was promised equity, but when Jay-Z sold it, she claims her expected payout mysteriously vanished. Nicki estimates that she's owed between $100–200 million, and even promised to use some of that 'missing' money to pay for her fans' education. She further shaded Jay-Z for allegedly overlooking Lil Wayne in favour of Kendrick Lamar for this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show. Enter Roc Nation At this point, Nicki is coming for the entire machine. She also reignited her beef with Roc Nation, the management company she has been accusing of trying to stifle her career after she chose Young Money over them. She also wrote a flurry of messages attacking Rock Nation CEO Desiree Perez. 'Let's see if they have any thoughts on that DESIRAT pardon. Let's see if they have any thoughts on brother billionaire never campaigning for Kamala even after Obama pleaded with the 'brothers,'' Nicki continued. 'Isn't this THEE 'brother'?!??!! Thee one 'brother' who could've probably gotten the job done for yall?!?!!!! Welp. If the top brother in charge can leave yall hanging w/o repercussions then may everyone else leave you hanging as well. Hanging like my cousin's friend's balls 🏈.' What about her cousin's balls? It all started with a 2021 vaccine tweet — the one that claimed her cousin's friend in Trinidad suffered swollen testicles and became impotent after getting a COVID-19 shot. According to her, the man was just weeks away from getting married when his fiancée called off the wedding. 'If I get vaccinated, it won't be for the Met,' she wrote at the time, adding that she needed to 'do more research.' The bizarre claim instantly went viral, prompting memes, headlines, and even a response from Dr. Anthony Fauci, who firmly stated, 'There's no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen.' Nicki seems to be cracking under a combination of industry politics, unresolved beefs, and maybe a little too much time on X. But if there's one thing she's doing, it's making sure nobody forgets her name this week.

Nicki Minaj Calls Out Roc Nation Over Allegations Including JAY-Z Paternity Rumors, Megan Thee Stallion Lawsuit
Nicki Minaj has channeled her brethren in music, 50 Cent, savagely calling out Roc Nation for allegations against some of the management company's associates. Starting off with Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, Minaj posted a screenshot of a video 'calling out' Perez for allegedly 'abusing' her daughter Demoree. According to the video, Perez allegedly held her daughter against her will and physically assaulted her. 'Oh no what's going on The Shade Room?!?!!!! Help!!!!!,' Minaj captioned the post. According to NBC6 South Florida, the lawsuit came about last month, revealing serious allegations against Perez, including using her influence and wealth to have her daughter, Hadley, wrongfully institutionalized in a mental health facility for two weeks. According to the suit, Hadley claims she was detained without clear cause, supported by medical records and bodycam footage showing officials directing her into a vehicle. A doctor's evaluation reportedly cited family claims — including from Perez and an aunt — that Hadley had attempted an overdose, which she denied. The lawsuit also accuses Perez of interfering in Hadley's marriage to Javon Hadley by fabricating domestic violence claims. Perez previously sued Javon for alleged abuse of her daughter, which both he and Hadley deny. Hadley was released in April after Perez dropped the case. Minaj then followed up with another post taking jabs at both JAY-Z and Megan Thee Stallion. Reigniting conversation surrounding Hov's alleged son — whom has been seeking a paternity test from the Hip-Hop icon – Minaj called out the ongoing legal matter. 'Oh is this why he was trending the other day? Idk. I hope all is well. To God be the glory,' she captioned a photo of Jay placed beside Raymir Satterthwaite. The headline of the screenshot also claimed that a judge has requested to move forward with Raymir's request for a paternity test proving whether or not Jay is his biological father, thought this has not been substantiated. The 31-year-old has continuously pleaded with the mogul and businessman to take the test so that he can get answers about his identity. 'If he is not [my father], why can't he prove me wrong?' Raymir told Daily Mail in an interview. 'Go to the courtroom and do what everyone else has to do. I can take a no. I can take being embarrassed. I just can't take him not saying anything. It is not fair.' Lastly, the Pink Friday rapper called out Megan Thee Stallion's impending lawsuit just as a federal judge ruled that a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against the Texas rapper can move forward. In a cryptic post, Minaj wrote, 'What was the name of that law again??????? Karma's Law? Touch not my anointed law? Vengeance is the Lord's law?… the blogs posting lies, thank you. More money for me. We're working. Trust.' Minaj referenced a prior jab Meg took at her husband Kenneth Petty in her song 'Hiss,' where she rapped, 'These ho*s don't be mad at Megan, these ho*s mad at Megan's Law/ I don't really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y'all don't want me to start.' The line was aimed at Petty, who is a court ordered registered sex offender due to an incident that took place when he was 15. The timing of Minaj's post comes on the heels of U.S. District Judge Gregory H. Woods allowing Emelio Garcia's lawsuit against Megan — born Megan Pete — to proceed. Garcia, Megan's former cameraman, alleges he was harassed and retaliated against due to his sexual orientation. He claims that in 2022, while in Ibiza, Megan engaged in a sexual act with another woman in his presence, made degrading remarks about his appearance, and later cut his hours and pay before firing him when he spoke up. The judge found Garcia's claims plausible, noting that the behavior he described could support a hostile work environment based on his sexuality. Megan and her team have strongly denied the allegations, calling Garcia a 'con artist' and his lawsuit 'baseless.' Unless a settlement is reached, the case is expected to go to trial. Minaj's vengeance against the powerhouse label partially stems from Young Money CEO and iconic rapper Lil Wayne being snubbed of Super Bowl performance slot in his hometown, New Orleans. Instead, Kendrick Lamar was tapped to headline the biggest night in football. In response to the decision, Minaj went on a scathing rant against JAY-Z on X, as he currently holds the title of 'live music entertainment strategist' for the Super Bowl Half Time show. She also sent shots to the Blueprint phenom in her verse on Weezy's 'Banned From N.O.' calling out the Super Bowl snub again and Jay's position. She rapped, 'NFL, fire some ni**as and then call us!' Megan Thee Stallion, JAY-Z nor Desiree Perez has responded to Nicki Minaj as of publication. VIBE has reached out to Roc Nation for comment and has not yet received a response.

Nicki Minaj Says JAY-Z Owes Her $200 Million From Her Equity In Tidal
Nicki Minaj is escalating her public feud with JAY-Z as she has now made a claim that he owes her up to $200,000,000 tied to her equity in Tidal. Minaj, who was one of 15 artists gifted a three percent stake in the streaming service at its 2015 launch, said she was offered only $1,000,000 for her share after the company was sold to Jack Dorsey's Square for $302,000,000 in 2021. 'We've calculated about 100-200MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It's only collecting more interest,' she wrote on X, adding that despite the financial dispute, 'You still in my TOP 5 tho.' The global icon also referenced her philanthropic goals, stating that any money recouped would help fund her #StudentOfTheGame initiative, designed to cover tuition and student loans for fans. Yesterday (July 8), Minaj directed further criticism at Roc Nation members when she called out CEO Desiree Perez, sharing a screenshot of a video that accused Perez of abusing her own daughter, Demoree. The video alleges that Perez held her daughter against her will and physically assaulted her — claims that have not been verified. Minaj then reignited speculation about JAY-Z's alleged paternity case involving Raymir Satterthwaite, a man who has long claimed the Hip-Hop mogul is his biological father. Sharing a screenshot of a headline claiming a judge recently approved the continuation of Raymir's request for a paternity test, Minaj captioned the image: 'Oh is this why he was trending the other day? Idk. I hope all is well. To God be the glory.' The paternity suit has not been publicly confirmed by JAY-Z. Minaj also came for Megan Thee Stallion just as a federal judge ruled that a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit filed against the Houston rapper by her former cameraman could proceed. In a pointed post, Minaj wrote, 'What was the name of that law again??????? Karma's Law? Touch not my anointed law? Vengeance is the Lord's law?… the blogs posting lies, thank you. More money for me. We're working. Trust.' The post appeared to reference Megan's 2024 song 'Hiss,' where she took a vague jab at Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty. On the track, Megan rapped, 'These ho*s don't be mad at Megan, these ho*s mad at Megan's Law/ I don't really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y'all don't want me to start.' The line referenced Petty's status as a court-ordered registered sex offender stemming from a 1995 case. Minaj's latest online rant comes amid increasing scrutiny of Roc Nation and some of its high-profile artists and executives. As of now, neither JAY-Z, Perez, Megan Thee Stallion, nor Roc Nation have publicly responded to Minaj's claims.
