Nicki Minaj conquered attacks to become queen of rap. Now she’s turned her fire on Megan Thee Stallion


In a week of feuding between the musicians, Minaj has leaned on the same reductive tropes she had to endure herself

On Hiss, Megan Thee Stallion – known for bawdy, sex positive hits such as Big Ole Freak, WAP and Savage – addresses previous speculation about her body, sexual history, and the criticism she has endured from fans and peers since publicly naming the artist Tory Lanez as the man who shot her in 2020. Minaj has been making thinly veiled jabs at her former collaborator since 2021 – including the glaring stallion-themed double entendre on Red Ruby da Sleeze: “I don’t fuck with horses since Christopher Reeves.” Minaj has alleged abuse by her ex-boyfriends Safaree and Meek Mill, publicly demanded respect from male colleagues when diss songs such as Remy Ma’s Shether made claims about her sexual history, and opened up about the pressures of plastic surgery to meet oppressive beauty standards.
