“Hot Girl Summer” is officially over for Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, who are embroiled in a fiery online feud.

The rappers appeared to have an amicable relationship before tensions exploded on Friday when Megan, 28, debuted her latest single, “Hiss.” While Megan took aim at several unnamed people on the track, many fans believe she also mocked Minaj, 41, and her husband. This prompted Minaj to diss Megan on Instagram Live and X, formerly known as Twitter.

In one post, Minaj purportedly called Megan a “manipulative liar” and claimed she used ghostwriters for music.

“Every album she’s ever released= flopped,” Minaj wrote about Megan.

Here’s a more detailed look at their current feud.

Some fans think Minaj threw a not-so-subtle jab at Megan in March 2023

Although the disagreement between Minaj and Megan came to a head on Friday, the drama may have begun simmering last year.

In March 2023, XXL Magazine reported that Minaj released her song, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which referred to horses — or stallions — in the first verse.

“Seven-hundred on ’em horses when we fixin’ to leave (Uh-oh)/But I don’t fuck with horses since Christopher Reeves,” the lyrics said.

The outlet said some fans at the time believed Minaj’s bar might have been aimed at Megan, but it’s unclear what may have prompted the jab. The outlet reported in a separate September 2022 article that the pair may have bumped heads when Minaj claimed on Queen Radio that someone suggested she drank alcohol during her pregnancy. Megan later denied that it was her, the outlet said.

Fans believe Megan mocked Minaj and her husband on “Hiss,” which referenced a federal sex offender law

Megan began trending on X this Friday after releasing “Hiss,” which shocked some fans with its pointed and unflinching lyrics. One bar in particular sent the internet into a tizzy: Many believed it was a diss against Minaj and Petty.

“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” Megan said. “I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start.”

Megan’s Law refers to a US federal law that requires all states to establish sex offender registries and community notification. Petty is a registered sex offender after pleading guilty in 1995 to the attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl. He served four years in prison.

In July 2022, Petty was also sentenced to three years probation and one year of home detention over his failure to register as a sex offender in California.

Minaj appeared to respond by referencing Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to prison for shooting Megan

Online entertainment blog Pop Base shared screen recordings of Minaj’s Instagram Live, where she appeared to address Megan’s lyrics with a rap of her own.

“Bad bitch she like 6 foot/ I call her big foot/ the bitch fell off/I said get up on your good foot,” Minaj purportedly said.

Fans online believe Minaj’s lyrics might be a dig at Megan, who said Lanez, a rapper, shot her in the foot in July 2020. In December 2022, a jury convicted Lanez of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in relation to the shooting.

Megan didn’t directly call out Minaj but addressed the boiling controversy surrounding her song on The Breakfast Club

Megan called into The Breakfast Club, a US-based radio program, to share details about “Hiss.” When asked if the song was about a specific person, Megan summed up her position by saying, “A hit dog will holler.”

“Whoever feel it, feel it,” she added.

Megan later shared a photo of her laughing on her Instagram Stories, which some outlets and fans believed was a subtle acknowledgment that her track intended to attack Minaj.

Minaj continued to vent about the feud online

On her X account, Minaj began liking and retweeting fans who showed support. Some of the posts also disparaged Megan.

Minaj later shared a post in which she appeared to call Megan a “manipulative liar” while celebrating her own musical success. Minaj also implied that Megan’s career is a flop and brought up Megan’s dispute with her former record label.

“Horrible ACTOR that can’t cry on cue,” Minaj wrote. “don’t try to act bookie it’s a chop.”

She added: “Pathological & manipulative liar…Using ghost writers & still SUCK.”

Minaj also appeared to defend her husband in a separate tweet that mentioned Megan’s late mother

On Friday, Minaj shared a tweet that referenced Megan’s late mother and suggested Megan lied during her April 2022 interview with Gayle King about her controversy with Lanez.

The post also referenced Megan’s former boyfriend, Pardison Fontaine. The pair broke up in 2023, People reported.

But Minaj didn’t stop there. In a separate post, Minaj retweeted Fontaine’s newest single, “THEE PERSON,” which many believed was about Megan.

Additionally, Minaj called Megan a “disgusting” serpent in another post. Later that night, Pop Base reported that she went on radio platform Stationhead and Instagram Live to attack Megan more.

“You bringing up 30-year-old tea cause no man has ever or will ever fucking love you,” Minaj said on Instagram Live.
