Nicki Minaj has once again reignited her feud with Jay-Z, this time questioning whether the Roc Nation founder owes her money. The rapper took to social media platform X to express her grievances against Hov, accusing him of being envious, jealous, and manipulative behind the scenes.
In a recent livestream on July 17, 2025, Nicki Minaj called out Jay-Z for allegedly feuding with multiple artists and even using bots to control the narrative. She questioned the authenticity of some of Jay-Z’s business practices and claimed that he had been involved in feuds with various artists, both male and female.
The feud between Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z dates back to September 2024 when the rapper criticized Hov for choosing Kendrick Lamar over Lil Wayne as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. She accused Jay-Z of being money-minded and spiteful, leading to a public spat between the two artists.
Nicki also brought up her issues with Jay-Z over the Tidal deal, a music streaming platform co-founded by Hov in 2015. According to reports, artists like Nicki were promised equity in the company in exchange for creating content, but when Tidal was sold to Jack Dorsey’s Square in 2021, Nicki claimed she was only offered a million dollars with a tight deadline to sign the agreement.
In a series of tweets and posts on X, Nicki Minaj demanded that Jay-Z settle what she referred to as a “karmic debt” amounting to 100-200 million dollars. She called out the Roc Nation founder for his alleged mistreatment of artists and expressed her disappointment with the handling of the Tidal deal.
The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z has once again brought attention to the complexities of the music industry and the power dynamics at play. As the two artists continue to exchange barbs and accusations, fans are left wondering if there will ever be a resolution to their longstanding feud.
