The rappers appeared to have an amicable relationship before tensions exploded on Friday when Megan, 28, debuted her latest single, "Hiss." While Megan took aim at several unnamed people on the track, many fans believe she also mocked Minaj, 41, and her husband. This prompted Minaj to diss Megan on Instagram Live and X, formerly known as Twitter.
In one post, Minaj purportedly called Megan a "manipulative liar" and claimed she used ghostwriters for music.
"Every album she's ever released= flopped," Minaj wrote about Megan.
Here's a more detailed look at their current feud.
Some fans think Minaj threw a not-so-subtle jab at Megan in March 2023
Although the disagreement between Minaj and Megan came to a head on Friday, the drama may have begun simmering last year.
In March 2023, XXL Magazine reported that Minaj released her song, "Red Ruby Da Sleeze," which referred to horses — or stallions — in the first verse.
"Seven-hundred on 'em horses when we fixin' to leave (Uh-oh)/But I don't fuck with horses since Christopher Reeves," the lyrics said.
The outlet said some fans at the time believed Minaj's bar might have been aimed at Megan, but it's unclear what may have prompted the jab. The outlet reported in a separate September 2022 article that the pair may have bumped heads when Minaj claimed on Queen Radio that someone suggested she drank alcohol during her pregnancy. Megan later denied that it was her, the outlet said.
Fans believe Megan mocked Minaj and her husband on "Hiss," which referenced a federal sex offender law
Megan began trending on X this Friday after releasing "Hiss," which shocked some fans with its pointed and unflinching lyrics. One bar in particular sent the internet into a tizzy: Many believed it was a diss against Minaj and Petty.
"These hoes don't be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan's Law," Megan said. "I don't really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y'all don't want me to start."
In July 2022, Petty was also sentenced to three years probation and one year of home detention over his failure to register as a sex offender in California.
Minaj appeared to respond by referencing Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to prison for shooting Megan

Online entertainment blog Pop Base shared screen recordings of Minaj's Instagram Live, where she appeared to address Megan's lyrics with a rap of her own.
"Bad bitch she like 6 foot/ I call her big foot/ the bitch fell off/I said get up on your good foot," Minaj purportedly said.
Fans online believe Minaj's lyrics might be a dig at Megan, who said Lanez, a rapper, shot her in the foot in July 2020. In December 2022, a jury convicted Lanez of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in relation to the shooting.
Megan didn't directly call out Minaj but addressed the boiling controversy surrounding her song on The Breakfast Club
Megan called into The Breakfast Club, a US-based radio program, to share details about "Hiss." When asked if the song was about a specific person, Megan summed up her position by saying, "A hit dog will holler."
"Whoever feel it, feel it," she added.
Megan later shared a photo of her laughing on her Instagram Stories, which some outlets and fans believed was a subtle acknowledgment that her track intended to attack Minaj.
On her X account, Minaj began liking and retweeting fans who showed support. Some of the posts also disparaged Megan.
Minaj later shared a post in which she appeared to call Megan a "manipulative liar" while celebrating her own musical success. Minaj also implied that Megan's career is a flop and brought up Megan's dispute with her former record label.
"Horrible ACTOR that can't cry on cue," Minaj wrote. "don't try to act bookie it's a chop."
She added: "Pathological & manipulative liar...Using ghost writers & still SUCK."
Minaj also appeared to defend her husband in a separate tweet that mentioned Megan's late mother

Welcome to Startups Weekly, a fresh human-first take on this week’s startup news and trends. To get this in your inbox, subscribe here. People leave jobs for all kinds of reasons, but when it’s a CFO departing a richly valued company as the company itself conducts layoffs, the exodus can be a sign of a larger issue. This was one of the takeaways I had when chatting with Continuum CEO and co-founder Nolan Church about a recent spree of CFO resignations, including but not limited to OpenSea, Noom and Brex. The founder reiterated that we don’t know the exact reasons that people are leaving, but he also noted that it’s a red flag from a recruitment perspective. He also introduced me to the idea of zombie companies, which I appreciated as it is officially spooky season and we love a festive framework. Zombie companies are basically companies that raised a ton of money over the boom cycle but aren’t producing nearly enough revenue to justify the valuation. The late-stage market is full o...
I’ve yet to walk the entire floor at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year (that’s the goal for this afternoon), but my sense is the majority of the robots present fit into one of two categories: robot vacuums or greeter robots. With Pepper out of commission, maybe there’s a wide-open market there. Who knows? The two Xiaomi robots — CyberOne and CyberDog — may well have been the most prominent of the show, and neither were especially inspiring. It was fun finally seeing the Cyber One in person after writing about it seven months ago. The humanoid robot’s stilted locomotion screamed “research prototype” in the first demo, and I’m plenty wary about phone makers getting “serious” about robotics. There was no demo in the booth this year, rendering it more of an expensive mechanical mannequin. Xiaomi’s humanoid CyberOne robot at MWC 2023.
