It all began when SZA posted what appeared to be a harmless and vague tweet: \u201cMercury retrograde..don\u2019t take the bait lol silly goose.\u201d While the message didn\u2019t mention anyone by name, Nicki Minaj took it as a personal jab and swiftly fired back with a pointed and aggressive response. Her reply, filled with sharp words and accusations, seemed to ignite a situation that had previously shown no public signs of tension.<\/p>\n<p>Nicki\u2019s tweet, which included phrases like \u201cLiar liar pants on fire\u201d and hashtags such as #JusticeForDemoree and #DepositionPerez, caught the internet off guard. Fans quickly tried to decode the drama, with some confused about who was even being targeted. Nicki\u2019s reference to Demoree and Perez seemed to call out Desiree Perez, the CEO of Roc Nation, for an alleged situation involving her daughter Demoree. These cryptic but emotionally charged hashtags suggested something personal and serious, though no formal details have been released.<\/p>\n<p>The drama soon widened as Nicki also seemed to take aim at TDE\u2019s Punch, the president of SZA\u2019s record label, Top Dawg Entertainment. It\u2019s unclear exactly what triggered her to include Punch, but the connection seems to be what drew SZA into the crossfire. SZA then responded with a post that made it clear she was now angry, saying she didn\u2019t care about \u201cnone of that weird shit you popping.\u201d That comment fueled the fire further, and Nicki didn\u2019t hold back in unleashing a tirade of insults aimed at SZA\u2019s looks, music, and persona.<\/p>\n<p>From mocking SZA\u2019s freckles to accusing her of streaming fraud, Nicki escalated things fast, making comments like \u201cB\u2014h fat chubby & Skinny @ the same damn time\u201d and questioning the legitimacy of her Spotify numbers. SZA, caught off-guard, clarified that her original tweet had nothing to do with Nicki or anyone else\u2014it was just a post-performance musing about Mercury retrograde. But by that time, the tone of the exchange had already spiraled.<\/p>\n<p>SZA later tried to step away from the chaos, tweeting that she was returning to her more quiet and reserved self, even wishing everyone a good night before continuing her European tour. But Nicki wasn\u2019t ready to drop it just yet, responding again with another jab. Despite the sharp words and aggressive posts, neither party has explained what truly sparked this fallout, and it\u2019s unclear whether the situation will settle or continue to escalate.<\/p>\n<p>For now, fans are left bewildered, watching two of the music industry\u2019s biggest female stars clash publicly over what started as a cryptic, seemingly benign tweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicki Minaj and SZA have unexpectedly found themselves in the middle of a heated and confusing online feud that erupted\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":84664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[2083],"class_list":["post-84663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-nicki-minaj"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
