Nicki Minaj took aim at SZA, bringing up her old posts that allegedly insulted Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Ciara
Nicki Minaj isn’t backing down. The rapper continued her social media tirade on Wednesday, taking direct aim at SZA and brought out alleged old posts where the “Snooze” singer criticized some of music’s biggest names, including Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Ciara. In a series of posts, as per TMZ, Minaj reignited tensions with Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence “Punch” Henderson, while insisting her frustration wasn’t sparked by the “Broken Barbies” track, as some fans speculated.
Instead, Minaj accused Punch of harassing her “for years,” though he has denied those claims.

Nicki Minaj draws connections to Roc Nation lawsuit
Minaj also tied her current online campaign to a broader issue involving Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. She cited ongoing legal proceedings brought by Perez’s daughter, Demoree Hadley, who alleged in a lawsuit that her mother had her involuntarily placed in a mental health facility for nearly two weeks.
In X posts referencing the case, Minaj used the hashtag #JusticeForDemoree and stated that her posts were part of a mission to support Hadley. “I’ll expose more of your lies & I tell y'all all the time I play the long game,” she wrote.
The rapper has since dubbed Punch “Minus 30 million” in her posts, a nickname likely referencing an inside dispute, though she hasn’t elaborated on the matter.
