Nicki Minaj has once again made headlines, this time calling out Yung Miami of City Girls over a phrase she feels was “borrowed” from her. The issue emerged after Yung Miami previewed a new episode of her podcast Caresha Please, featuring Summer Walker, where she used the phrase “Let’s get into something, chile!” According to Nicki Minaj, she’s been using this catchphrase on her own show Queen Radio for quite some time and isn’t happy to see it pop up elsewhere.
Minaj took to Twitter on May 24, hitting up Diddy, who has a connection with Yung Miami. In her tweet, she jokingly asked Puff to advise his “young lady” that she “borrowed” a popular phrase. “Hits @Diddy to advise him that a young lady on a show that appears on his network seems to have ‘borrowed’ a very popular #QueenRadio catch phrase,” Minaj wrote, teasing Miami for using the phrase.
Yung Miami Responds to Nicki Minaj’s Claim
Not one to back down, Yung Miami quickly responded by retweeting Minaj’s post and adding her own two cents. “Nicki @NICKIMINAJ what’s really the problem???” she tweeted, denying that she took the phrase from Minaj. She went on to explain, “‘Let’s get into some thing Chile’ actually is a gay slang Lmaooooo.”
Nicki Minaj’s Retort and Diddy Involvement
Nicki Minaj wasn’t having it and fired back, calling out Yung Miami for using the “gay slang” excuse. She posted a follow-up tweet: “Caresha now you know damn well [laughing emojis] ‘gay slang’ is the first go-to nowadays. Let’s discuss it on #QueenRadio chile. If not, I’m hittin Puff right now. You know he used to manage me right? Now it’s my man my man my man 😂 Puff what up? Hit my line chi @Diddy.”
Despite the back-and-forth, Yung Miami ended the conversation with a playful note, writing, “Yeah I’m On my way to his house im Finna call you when I get there.”
Nicki Minaj’s Past with City Girls
This back-and-forth between Minaj and Miami isn’t the first time Nicki Minaj has expressed tension with the City Girls duo. In a February 2022 interview, Nicki Minaj revealed her reluctance to collaborate with the duo due to their past tweets that were critical of her before they achieved fame. She explained that she doesn’t see the point in working with artists who don’t genuinely like her, citing how online comments and interviews can leave lasting impressions.
Despite her past issues with the City Girls, Nicki Minaj has recently softened her stance, collaborating with JT and acknowledging their evolving relationship.
A Tense Exchange Between Two Queens
The feud over the catchphrase highlights the ongoing rivalry between Nicki Minaj and Yung Miami but also underscores the complexities of the music industry and public personas. Fans can expect more drama and possible music-related developments, especially with Nicki Minaj teasing a future conversation on Queen Radio. Whether or not this will lead to an official reconciliation or a deeper rift remains to be seen.
