Nicki Minaj Escalates Feud with Megan Thee Stallion, Making Controversial Remarks About Late Mother in Response to Diss Track

The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has reached a new level of intensity as Minaj, during an Instagram Live session, made a controversial joke about Megan’s late mother. This latest development follows Megan’s recent song “Hiss,” where she took shots at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, referencing Megan’s Law and alluding to Petty’s status as a registered sex offender.

The lyric was perceived by Minaj’s fans as a direct hit, given Petty’s legal history. Some speculated that it might also be a veiled reference to Minaj’s brother, Jelani Maraj, who was convicted of predatory sexual assault in 2017. The tensions heightened when Minaj called for Megan to “conjure up her mother and apologize,” deeming the lyric as “disgusting.”

Tragically, Megan Thee Stallion’s mother, Holly Thomas, passed away in March 2019 from a cancerous brain tumor. While Megan has previously touched upon her mother’s death during an award acceptance speech, she has not yet responded to Minaj’s controversial comments.

Minaj, in defense of her actions, expressed frustration about her family being a constant “focal point” of criticism. Although the specific reason for Minaj’s targeting of Megan’s late mother remains unclear, it appears to be part of an escalating feud between the two artists.

This recent clash comes shortly after Minaj previewed an unreleased single, taking aim at Megan’s past injuries sustained from a shooting incident involving Tory Lanez in July 2020. Minaj’s lyrics reference the incident and Lanez’s subsequent legal troubles.

The timeline of Minaj and Megan’s feud is not entirely clear, but it marks a stark departure from their amicable collaboration in 2019 on the hit song “Hot Girl Summer.” As the controversy unfolds, fans on social media express disappointment and concern over the escalating tension between the two prominent figures in the music industry.
