Nicki Minaj has stirred the pot with her latest album, Pink Friday 2, as she appears to throw shade at fellow female rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Latto. The highly anticipated fifth studio album dropped on December 8 and features tracks that seem to contain pointed remarks aimed at her rivals in the industry.
Nicki Takes Aim at Megan Thee Stallion
On the track “FTCU,” Nicki seems to take a jab at Megan Thee Stallion, with whom she has been rumored to have had a falling out. In a particularly biting line, Nicki warns, “Stay in your Tory lane, bitch, I’m not Iggy,” referencing both Tory Lanez and Iggy Azalea. The lyric hints at past controversies involving Megan and Iggy, which stemmed from a failed collaboration back in 2019 that led to misunderstandings but were later resolved.
Interestingly, Iggy has also been connected to Tory Lanez in the past, having supported him during his legal issues with Megan. The subtle dig at Megan did not go unnoticed, with fans quickly flocking to social media to share their reactions. One user wrote, “Lmao yes… she slapped Megan Thee Stallion several times… lmao SICKENING!! #FREETORYLANEZ,” reflecting the buzz around the apparent diss.
A Shot at Latto
In addition to targeting Megan, Nicki also seems to take aim at Latto on the track “Fallin 4 U.” With her signature clever wordplay, she cleverly weaves in references that blur the lines between “locs” and Latto’s name. Lines like, “Picture you endin’ up under the seat, where the dread at?/ Picture not listenin’ when I said you would dread that,” suggest a competitive edge, reinforcing her position in the rap hierarchy.
Reactions to this verse were equally animated, with one fan commenting, “Nicki is so funny for sonically overlaying Latto with locs hoe. She got everyone confused af #PinkFriday2.” Another remarked, “Nicki just dissed Latto? Nicki is a cornball. Now she wanna say names but couldn’t say names before? Please.” These comments underscore the divisive nature of Minaj’s remarks and their impact on the rap community.
