AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj has found herself in hot water following her recent claim about Megan Thee Stallion and Rihanna. The "Barbie World" spitter was blasted by many for seemingly comparing the "Girls in the Hood" raptress' trauma to that of the "Umbrella" songstress.
On Wednesday, January 31, the 41-year-old hip-hop artist became a hot topic on X, formerly known as Twitter. It happened after she recently joined Twitter Spaces hosted by Joe Budden. At that time, she made a statement about the traumas of Megan, who had foot injuries after Tory Lanez shot her, and Rihanna, who was left with facial injuries after Chris Brown assaulted her.
After receiving a question, which read, "You said she wanted a Rihanna moment, so I wanna know which Rihanna moment?", from a co-host, Nicki stated, "Well you know you gonna Google. Here's the thing, Rihanna is just known for being herself. 'You get what you see, you see what you get' type of vibe, right? Rihanna never milked somebody. You could tell she couldn't wait to try to move on with her life."
Later on, one user released a screen recording of Nicki's remarks and tweeted, "Did she say Megan wanted a Rihanna moment? Comparing traumas like a competition?" The user went on to complain, "Joe Budden sat there and listened to this and didn't say a thing?"
The tweet led other X users to voice their opinions on the matter. In the replies section, one in particular wrote, "This is the dumbest kind of thought patterns regarding violence against women I've ever heard; comparing the two situations & reactions especially. Meg lost 2 loved ones, got SHOT & didnt even pursue charges. She tried to protect that Smurf & the industry turned on her."
Another penned, "Rihanna wasn't trying to milk that part of her life meg literally disappeared for months and isn't on social media during and after the Tory trial… how was she milking it?" Meanwhile, a third noted, "This is a contradiction. She's trying to say Rih didnt milk the situation but the public treated Rih just like they did Meg. Rih may not have clapped back in bars but she did her songs. Neither woman milked their abuse."
Nicki's claims came amid her beef with Megan following the release of Megan's single "Hiss", which is believed to be a diss track against Nicki, on Friday, January 26. In response, Nicki dropped a song titled "Big Foot", on which she raps about Megan's late mother Holly Thomas. Since then, the feud has gotten worse.
Later on, Nicki's fans, Barbz, reportedly shared the address of Holly's grave at Paradise Cemetery South in Texas and threatened to "desecrate" the grave. On Tuesday, January 30, it was reported that the gravesite has "increased security personnel at their facility." Recently, the address of Nicki's late father Robert Maraj's grave in Utica, New York was unveiled on social media by Cardi B's fans.
