A new beef has entered the music world. Platinum-selling rapperNicki Minajtook to social media on Tuesday, July 15, to air her grievances, going on to spark a feud with Grammy-winning singerSZA, dissing everything from the "Snooze" singer's music to her appearance. The exchange came after the "Starships" artistclaimedSZA's manager and Top Dawg Entertainment label president, Terrence "Punch" Henderson, was "bullying" her. SZA, 35, seemingly indirectly addressed the claims bywriting, "don't take the bait lol silly goose." The assumed subtweet got Minaj, 42, riled up, igniting a series of profanity-filled digs. Minaj replied to the post: "Go draw your freckles back on bookie," andlater claimedthe "Kill Bill" artist is "looking & sounding like she got stung" by a bee. Nicki Minaj taunts Megan Thee Stallionafter judge allows Roc Nation lawsuit to proceed Minaj continued slighting the singer's career,going as far as to say, "SZA if every song you've ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn't even miss you. I've been to countries that never heard of you." The rapper also aimed at SZA's record-breaking album "SOS," her 2022 9x platinum album that made the singer the longest-running Black artist on the Billboard 200's Top 10 chart, surpassing Michael Jackson's "Thriller." SZA celebrated the feat earlier in the day,writing: "I'm really bout to have my first diamond album .. in under 3 years." She "put out a whole new album as a deluxe to an already existing album that was out for like a year or 2 so the original album could break records," Minajtweeted. "Like what in the insecure lack of morals & integrity you doing?" SZA expressed anger at the attacks,sayingshe "wasn't even talking about or to anyone." She also went back and forth with Minaj's at times viciously loyal fanbase, referred to as the "Barbz." "I get bullied by millions online every day then step ... out onna (sic) packed stadium tour where ppl show me REAL love . IN REAL LIFE,"saidthe singer, currently on the international leg of herGrand Nationaltour withKendrick Lamar. "My parents are healthy and I'm the most successful I ever been."
