The forthcoming track, which Minaj says will drop on Sunday (Jan. 28) at 3 p.m. PST, appears to be in response to Megan Thee Stallion‘s apparent diss on her just-released single “Hiss.”

“Tomorrow 3PM PST #BIGFOOT,” Minaj wrote on X (formerly twitter) late Saturday night (Jan. 27).

The Queen of Rap’s post features cover art of a high-heeled pink boot stepping into a much larger footprint embossed in pink concrete. The image appears alongside a close-up of Megan’s face looking distressed. In the wake her barrage of posts, #Bigfoot became a trending topic on X.

On her fiery new single “Hiss,” Megan takes an apparent jab at Nicki’s husband, registered sex offender Kenneth Petty, while referencing Megan’s Law, a federal law requiring law enforcement to make information available about registered sex offenders.

“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes 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/ B—h, you a p—y, never finna check me/ Every chance you get, bet your weak ass won’t address me,” the Stallion raps on the track.

Shortly after the song’s arrival on Friday (Jan. 26), Minaj hopped on Instagram Live to preview an unreleased track firing back at Meg, referencing the Houston artist getting shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in 2020. The shooting case wrapped up last year with the Canadian crooner heading to prison.

“Bad b—h she like six foot, I call her big foot/ The b—h fell off, I said get up on your good foot,” Nicki raps in the snippet.

The “Super Bass” rapper had a chuckle at her slick wordplay and ran back the venomous track a few times before sniping at Megan for her rapping ability during the Live: “You have three Grammys and you have to learn how to rap on the beat and be comfortable in the music.”

In addition to her “Bigfoot” song announcement, Minaj shared numerous other posts on X taking jabs at Megan Thee Stallion.

“It’s been rdy for 2 days. just was tryna be cool & let her get her lil streams. wasn’t gon say anything. But I remember how everyone kept my name in their mouth & how I said the next person mention my family gon regret it. Btw, they haven’t even heard the song. Who said it’s even a ‘diss’?” she tweeted.

Nicki also claimed that she didn’t charge Meg for her appearance on 2019’s “Hot Girl Summer,” which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also features Ty Dolla $ign.

“Didn’t charge her for the hot girl summer verse that I recorded the night she BEGGED & BEGGED to go on my live. But it’s ok. My n—a Pluto charged her 250K for his verse,” Minaj wrote on X.

Nicki also hinted that she an arsenal of unreleased tracks that could possibly see the light of day.

“After the 1st one drop, if dat p—y a– hoe so much as BREATHE wrong ima empty da clip. If that p—y a– hoe deny 1THING I say, I’m posting every fkn receipt known to man. 5. Yes you heard me! Did 5 extra songs. we’ve been waiting on u HO. Play #PinkFriday2 NON STOP barbz. LuvU,” she wrote.

“Hiss,” which is co-produced by LilJuMadeDaBeat and Bankroll Got It, is the second single set to land on Megan’s third album. The new track arrived two months after she launched her new era with the rock-tinged “Cobra,” which served as her first independent single since leaving 1501 Certified Entertainment. “Cobra” peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became her eighth top 10 hit on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (No. 10).
