Megan Thee Stallion recently opened up about her ongoing tension with Nicki Minaj, revealing how she really feels about the root of their beef. Although the two collaborated on "Hot Girl Summer" in 2019, things changed after Megan's 2020 hit "WAP" with Cardi B, who has a well-known feud with Minaj. Despite fan speculation that this collaboration may have caused a rift, Megan clarified in a 107.5 WGCI interview that she didn’t feel the need to get Minaj’s approval before working with Cardi. Over the years, subtle shots have been exchanged, and in January 2021, Minaj even unfollowed Megan on Instagram. Now, in 2024, Megan expressed her confusion to Billboard.

00:05Minaj.
00:06There wasn't always tension between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj.
00:10Back in 2019, the rappers actually collaborated on Hot Girl Summer.
00:14Allegedly, a big part of the rapper's feud started when Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion
00:19collaborated on WAP back in 2020, which was an instant hit.
00:23Minaj and Cardi B have their own lengthy feud, and many fans suspect that Stallion's collaboration
00:28with Cardi B rubbed Minaj the wrong way.
00:31Despite fan theories about this, Stallion told Chicago's 107.5 WGCI shortly after the
00:37collab,
00:38I didn't feel like I had to call Minaj first.
00:40I mean, because at the end of the day, I'm still an artist and I should be free to work
00:44with whoever I want to work with.
00:46My personal relationship with anybody doesn't affect what I choose to do as an artist."
00:50In the years after, various subtle digs appeared to be fired back and forth, in songs, interviews,
00:56and online, but nothing was directly confirmed to be about either of the rappers.
01:01Fast forward to January of 2021, when Nicki Minaj unfollowed Megan on Instagram, meaning
01:07there was definitely a rift.
01:09Now, well into 2024, Megan Thee Stallion is opening up to Billboard about her feelings
01:14on the beef, sharing,
01:15I still to this day don't know what the problem is.
01:18I don't even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don't know what the
01:23problem is.
