🎤 The Internet Streets Are Hot: SZA vs. Nicki Minaj
Just when you thought the timeline might catch a break, SZA and Nicki Minaj are giving the frens front-row seats to a digital drama that’s got everyone reaching for their popcorn—again.
What started as a seemingly cryptic tweet has snowballed into a full-on internet melee with old texts, shady reposts, and some very pointed words. And this time, SZA’s got receipts.
📱 Let’s Start With The Feature Request Receipts
On Wednesday, while some of us were minding our business and planning lunch, SZA took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a screenshot of an old text message dated July 28, 2020.
The message appears to show Nicki Minaj requesting a feature from SZA on a track titled “Don’t Do.”
With that screenshot came a caption that hit like a mic drop:
Nicki. You absolutely know my music and what I contribute cause you’ve asked for features twice to no response.
In addition to rapping my lyrics on feeling myself ‘Cooking up the bass looking like a kilo’? Lol ur having a moment.. I’m not sure why but be blessed.
See the original tweet below.
🧠 Context, Please: Where Did This All Begin?
This latest saga kicked off earlier this week when Nicki Minaj began throwing shots at Terrence “Punch” Henderson of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE).
Mercury retrograde .. don’t take the bait lol silly goose.
See the tweet.
SZA—who is signed to TDE and currently living her best life on Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour—responded with this subtle (but not subtle) tweet:
Harmless? Maybe. But since Mercury was not in retrograde at the time, the Barbz (and Nicki) took it personally.
🔥 Nicki Responds—And It’s Giving Unfiltered
Nicki did what Nicki does and immediately fired back with a response that read:
“Go draw your freckles back on bookie
#JusticeForDemoree #DepositionPerez
Liar liar pants on fire.
Sounding like a f**king dead dog.”
SZA wasted no time and clapped back:
I don’t give a f**k bout none of that weird s**t you popping.
See the tweet.
And then doubled down with more:
I wasn’t even talking about or to anyone I had just got off stage talkin bout retrograde. NI**AS @‘d ME . The F**K YES IM MAD NOW DO YOU NEED THAT!??
I get bullied by millions online every day then step my a** out onna packed stadium tour where ppl show me REAL love. IN REAL LIFE.
My parents are healthy and I’m the most successful I ever been. GET SOME F**KING PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL!!!
🧾 But Wait—There’s More
Nicki, never one to back down, pulled from the archives and reposted old SZA tweets that seemed shady toward Ciara, Beyoncé, and Rihanna.
She also used the moment to reignite past beefs with JAY-Z and Desiree Perez—because why have one feud when you can have five?
💭 Final Scoop
Listen. It’s giving “High School Reunion with Wi-Fi”—and I’m not sure any of us asked for it.
But SZA made it clear she’s not here for the games or the gaslighting.
Whether you’re #TeamSZA, #TeamNicki, or just #TeamLogOff, one thing’s for sure: this is a messy reminder that screenshots are forever and the internet never forgets.
