SZA TO NICKI MINAJ: I REJECTED YOUR FEATURE REQUEST TWICE
The online tension between music stars Nicki Minaj and SZA is heating up, with the R&B singer making fresh claims about the rapper’s past requests.
The drama, which started earlier this week, took a new twist when Nicki Minaj boasted about her global music success and subtly downplayed SZA’s impact, saying she had performed in countries where SZA is "unknown." This came during a social media rant directed at TDE executive, Punch — the head of SZA’s label.
In a bold response, SZA didn’t hold back. She shared a screenshot of what appeared to be a past conversation where Nicki’s team requested a collaboration. According to SZA, she declined the offer twice.
She posted the screenshot on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“You absolutely know my music and what I contribute 'cause you’ve asked for features twice to no response.”
SZA also pointed out that Nicki once rapped her lyrics on the song Feeling Myself, referencing the line:
“Cooking up the bass, looking like a kilo.”
She ended her post with a calm but cutting remark:
“Lol, you’re having a moment… I’m not sure why, but be blessed.”
So far, Nicki Minaj hasn’t officially responded to SZA’s latest claims, but fans of both stars — the Barbz and the SZA squad — are lighting up social media with reactions.
It’s unclear where the feud will go from here, but one thing is certain: SZA is no longer staying silent.
