Megan Thee Stallion kicked off 2024 with violence with her single, “HISS,” which saw the Houston MC take clear-cut shots at Nicki Minaj and other artists.
On Thursday, with the release of her latest studio album, “MEGAN,” it seems that she did it again. With the album being kicked off with “HISS,” the Houston Hottie keeps the fire going on the second track, “Rattle.”
She can be heard rapping, “I wanted everybody right here with me/ But that was my fault, bein’ too friendly/ I was thinkin’ everything was all good/ But the whole time, you was my enemy.”
She later adds, “Damn, b***h, it been four years/ Worry ’bout your man and your kid/ Your life must be borin’ as fuck if you still reminiscin’ ’bout shit that we did.”
Furthermore, on “Figueroa,” Megan seems to reference Nicki’s crazed fanbase, The Barbz, directly.
She raps, “I’m a motherfuckin’ brat, not a Barbie/ On go with any bitch that wanna start it.”
With all these new disses in mind, isn’t it about time we revisit their feud from the beginning, and look at how it got started?
Timeline of events
Initially, it seemed that Megan and Nicki were going to be frequent collaborators in the industry.
If you recall, Nicki appeared as a feature on the much-anticipated 2019 summer anthem, “Hot Girl Summer.” The two even made a music video for the track.
For the next year, things appeared to be cordial between the two, even when Megan collaborated with Nicki’s other rival, Cardi B, on the smash hit, “WAP.”
Nicki even went as far as to support the collaboration, telling Variety in August 2020, “One of my favorite things about Meg is her desire to further her education.”
She continued, “It’s so important for women to feel inspired to achieve goals outside of social media, where the focus is usually placed on their bodies or who they’re dating at the time. Women are more than just baby mamas, and we can continue to prove that by being goal-oriented, bettering ourselves and being independent. Megan is the perfect example that we can have fun and be smart at the same time.”
Things truly did not seem to take a turn for the worse until May 2021, when Minaj released her 2009 mixtape, “Beam Me Up Scotty,” and included the bonus track, “Seeing Green.”
Fans claimed that Nicki took a shot at Megan when she raps, “One Margarita pizza with Parmesan and garlic/The b****s thirsty I can see why they alcoholics.”
Why was this considered a dig? In September 2021, Nicki told a story on her Queen Radio where she alluded that Megan attempted to force her to drink alcohol while she was pregnant.
She stated, “Imagine telling someone you didn’t want to drink because you were, at the time, possibly pregnant. Because you were actively having a baby. Imagine if that person said, ‘Oh girl, you can go to the clinic.’”
When a fan straight up asked Megan if it was true on social media, she responded by tweeting out, “LIE.”
In March 2023, Minaj took more jabs on the track, “Red Ruby Da Sleez,” where she is heard saying, “700 on them horses when we fixing to leave/ But I don’t f**k with horses since Christopher Reeves.”
We then arrive in 2024, where Megan starts the year with “HISS,” where she specifically takes aims at Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty, when she raps, “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.”
This is a reference to Petty failing to register as a sex offender under the conditions of his probation in 2023.
Two days later, Nicki Minaj properly responded with her track, “Big Foot,” which makes fun of the Houston rapper getting shot in the foot by Tory Lanez and the unfortunate passing of her mother.
This month, Megan is spinning the block yet again on Nicki with these new disses on “MEGAN.”
Will Nicki respond? Moreover, will Nicki’s Barbs go on the attack?
