Kelsey Nicole, Megan Thee Stallion’s former best friend and a key figure in the Tory Lanez shooting incident, has resurfaced in the spotlight amid Megan’s ongoing beef with Nicki Minaj. Over the weekend, Minaj referenced Kelsey while calling out Megan, implying that Megan was “sleeping with her best friend’s man” — a comment many assumed referenced Tory.
Kelsey and Nicki Minaj’s Unexpected Connection
On January 29, a video emerged of Kelsey’s friend remixing Nicki’s recent Megan diss track, “Big Foot.” The clip caught Nicki’s attention, leading her to share it on social media with the caption: “Oh I am moving to THIS hunty!!!!!! Lemme get this up as an alternate version ASAP chiiii. Might call it: Kelsey’s Revenge.”
Responding to fan speculation, Kelsey clarified that the person remixing the track was her producer, not her husband. She emphasized her excitement about creating music, adding that when one person in her circle thrives, they all do. In an Instagram Story, Kelsey expressed determination about her music journey, hinting at past challenges she faced trying to support her friends and establish herself in the music industry.
Kelsey’s History with Megan Thee Stallion
The relationship between Megan and Kelsey unraveled after the infamous 2020 shooting incident, leading to public diss tracks and social media clashes. Shortly after Megan released her song “Shots Fired,” a track that took aim at both Kelsey and Tory, Kelsey responded with her own track, “Bussin Back.” Sampling 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” the diss track was a direct rebuttal to Megan’s accusations. Kelsey addressed the tension with lines like, “Couldn’t control your little feelings/ Look what dick is costing you.”
Kelsey’s lyrics also implied loyalty breaches, with bars suggesting she could have exposed Megan sooner if she’d felt truly betrayed. She continued her tirade, calling out Megan’s alleged lies to the District Attorney and dismissing accusations of jealousy. This track marked a turning point in their friendship, highlighting the unresolved animosity between the two.
A Public Feud Turned Personal
The two former friends have yet to reconcile, and Kelsey has noted on Instagram Live that she tried to speak to Megan privately, only to be met with silence. With no other options, she said she felt compelled to address the situation publicly. Meanwhile, Kelsey has been focused on advancing her career, staying true to her ambitions despite the criticism and obstacles.
In a space where relationships can make or break an artist’s career, the ongoing conflict between Megan Thee Stallion and Kelsey Harris — now fueled by Nicki Minaj’s involvement — serves as a reminder of how quickly personal and professional lines can blur in the music industry.
