Nicki Minaj and SZA have found themselves in an unexpected dispute on Twitter, with their interactions heating up rapidly. The disagreement started subtly with coded tweets from SZA on July 15th, but soon grew into a high-profile confrontation between two influential musicians.
Here’s a breakdown of what happened.
Nicki Minaj and SZA are beefing on Twitter (X)
SZA, who is currently touring Europe with Kendrick Lamar on the Grand National Tour, recently posted a playful warning about Mercury retrograde: “Mercury retrograde … don’t fall for the trap lol, silly goose.” Although she didn’t specifically mention or tag anyone, her post came right after Nicki Minaj’s critical tweets about Top Dawg Entertainment president Punch, which has led to speculation among fans.
Mercury retrograde .. don’t take the bait lol silly goose .

Nicki Minaj resurrected an old feud by accusing Punch of cyberbullying in a series of posts, referring to him as “Small-Time Executive” and sarcastically labeling him “Minus 30 million.” She stated that she had never responded to his previous tweets but kept records of them instead.
As a gamer, I felt the situation heat up when I perceived SZA’s tweet as a subtle jab. Minaj didn’t hold back, firing off a direct and derogatory response. She posted something along the lines of, “Go re-draw your freckles, Bookie. It’s just like dealing with a dead dog. #JusticeForDemoree #DepositionPerez.
Please, go ahead and redraw Demoree’s freckles on the book, using the hashtags #JusticeForDemoree and #DepositionPerez. By the way, you seem to be acting untrustworthy and talking like a deceased dog.”
This version retains the original meaning while being more polite and less offensive in tone.

SZA responded with a firm stance, stating, “I don’t care about any of that strange behavior you’re exhibiting.” When Barbz, Minaj’s fiercely loyal fanbase, cautioned her about potential backlash, she held her ground. She reminded her followers of her individual accomplishments, such as the highly successful SOS Tour which grossed $95.5 million and her ongoing sold-out shows with Kendrick Lamar. “You’ve been blessed tonight! See you tomorrow for night 2 in Paris!!!” she concluded.
Despite SZA appearing to end the feud, Nicki Minaj rekindled it with more remarks such as, “Be quiet, ugly one. #JusticeForDemoree. I’m currently in a meeting, so I’m not sure if you were still talking nonsense or not. If it was you, I’ll delete this later. Foolish one.” She continued by posting a series of derogatory comments such as, “Now you want to act like some mystical card, bch shut up.” Finally, she ended the exchange saying, “it was entertaining.
Are you aware that the degree of self-loathing must have been immense for you to behave so abhorrently towards your female colleagues without provocation, only to now pretend as if you’re some enlightened oracle? I suggest you reconsider your actions, dear.
