The feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion escalated in early 2024, marked by the release of diss tracks from both artists.
Megan Thee Stallion kicked off the exchange with “HISS,” unveiled in late January. The track took aim at numerous individuals who have crossed the 28-year-old rapper, with Minaj being one of the targets. Notably, Megan directed a pointed jab at Minaj’s husband, referencing sex offender allegations. Minaj swiftly responded with her own diss track, “Big Foot,” released just days after “HISS.”
In “Big Foot,” Minaj focused solely on Megan, criticizing her for various aspects, including the incident where she was shot and even questioning her Grammy wins. The choice of targeting Megan’s Grammy victories struck many listeners as peculiar, given Minaj’s numerous nominations but lack of actual wins.
Nicki Minaj, despite her multiple Grammy nominations, has never secured a win. On the other hand, Megan Thee Stallion, at 28 years old, has clinched three Grammy awards and received six nominations. The disparity in their Grammy achievements became a focal point in the ongoing feud. Despite Minaj’s longer tenure in the industry, spanning a decade more than her younger counterpart, she has yet to attain the same recognition from the prestigious music awards.
The diss track from Minaj appears to reflect her displeasure with the response it received from listeners. Many fans have been quick to highlight Megan’s undeniable talent, emphasizing the Grammy wins as a testament to her prowess on the mic. The feud underscores differing opinions about the artists’ skills, particularly when it comes to the music industry’s most coveted awards.
