Nicki Minaj is dragging Stephen A. Smith on the streets of Twitter after he took to his podcast and slammed her for her response to Kendrick Lamar being chosen to headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Stephen A. sounded off about how Nicki went in on JAY-Z in a series of tweets, where she accused him of letting his ego and hate for her, Drake, and Birdman impact his decision to overlook Lil Wayne as the headliner of the Super Bowl Halftime Show taking place in New Orleans.

In his latest rant, Stephen A. Smith said:

Come on, Nicki. I respect you. I respect your work. I respect what you’ve accomplished. Who else you gonna get in a beef with?

Lil’ Kim? Mariah Carey? Cardi B? Gucci Mane? I’m just looking at all of this stuff. Taylor Swift? Every time we turn around… Demi Lovato?

Every time we turn around, it’s something, Nicki. You disagree with the decision, you disagree with the decision. You gotta talk about the brotha like that?

And why are we talking about JAY-Z like he’s some damn sellout or something? Need I remind y’all… all the hip hop artists, all the R&B people that have been performing at the Super Bowl Halftime over the last few years since he’s been involved since 2019?

Did I not read some of these names to you? The Who… Coldplay… and people like that. You know how hard it is for a Black man to pull off what JAY-Z has pulled off in terms of making sure that Black folks get that kind of center stage to promote their brand and build their profile?

How unappreciative can you be?!

Nicki Minaj wasted no time in responding to Stephen A. Smith.

The Queen of the Barbz took to Twitter, writing:

Oh look y’all, another paid laughy taffy alien who only comes off his knees to turn around & back dat azz up. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Stephen, we don’t care. Ima tell u right now. We don’t care. If I say more it’ll be your fault. 🤨 Sit down, ugly 😅🤣.

In another tweet, Nicki seemingly confused Stephen A. with Shannon Sharpe:

Stephen, wasn’t you just moanin & groanin on live in your bedroom? LMFAOOOO. And since we here in women’s business… ladies, when should men just shave their full head? Should it take its normal course like SAS’ sassy ass or should he look into lace fronts?

Oh that’s not…

All I need is a pair of clippers for dat half bald head & ima have S.A.S. SASSY tail self RUNNING BTCH!!! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz come here!!!!

Every week this n!gg@ in the chair arguing with the barber. Talking ‘bout no, not yet!
