<p id=”par-1_59″>Amid a series of charged posts about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/cardi-b/?swcfpc=1″>Cardi B’s</a> children, boyfriend, and career, <a href=”http://cheatsheet.com/tag/nicki-minaj”>Nicki Minaj</a> turned her focus to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/jay-z/?swcfpc=1″>Jay-Z</a>. The explosive feud began when Minaj joked about Cardi’s new album, <em>Am I the Drama?</em>. The two rappers fired off blistering posts about one another, but Minaj eventually targeted Jay-Z. Why does she hate the rapper and music mogul?</p>

<p id=”par-2_57″>After firing off a series of posts about Cardi on X (formerly Twitter), Minaj turned her attention to Jay-Z. In one post, she referenced Rymir Satterthwaite, who <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/woman-claims-to-be-jay-zs-secret-daughter.html/”>claims to be Jay-Z’s son</a>. She also claimed that Jay-Z is jealous of Nas and alleged that he didn’t like that she collaborated with The Weeknd on her album <em>Queen</em>. </p>

<p id=”par-3_54″>“Jay z got mad that I wouldn’t give him a beat that I had already began legal paperwork for,” she wrote. “The song I did with the WEEKND ON QUEEN. He said it’s Beyoncé beat & HOEBERSON just laid down & let them take it & then sue me for remaking a similar beat.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_8″>She also posted multiple edited photos of Jay-Z.</p>

<p id=”par-5_46″>Minaj’s dislike of Jay-Z appears to stem from her claims that he did not pay her for her stake in his streaming service, Tidal. She, along with a number of other artists, was a brand partner. She said he owes her between $100 and $200 million.</p>
<p id=”par-6_49″>“We’ve calculated about 100-200MM so far,” she wrote on X (via <a href=”https://www.xxlmag.com/why-does-nicki-minaj-hate-jay-z/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>XXL</a>). “JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It’s only collecting more interest. You still in my TOP 5 tho. Let’s get it n****. And anyone still calling him Hov will answer to God for the blasphemy.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_21″>In 2021, Jay-Z sold his 80% stake in Tidal <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/beyonce-jay-z-wealthiest-celebrity-couple-2025-heres-fortune.html/”>for $297 million</a>. Minaj said she was offered a $1 million payout.</p>

<p id=”par-8_45″>Jay-Z has been a frequent target of Minaj’s ire. In 2024, she slammed him after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/fans-react-worlds-biggest-hater-kendrick-lamars-halftime-performance.html/”>Kendrick Lamar was announced</a> as the Super Bowl halftime show act. Minaj wanted Lil Wayne to take the stage and seemingly blamed Jay-Z. His company, Roc Nation, produces the show.</p>
<p id=”par-9_71″>“Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego,” she posted. “Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50 Cent come out. A white man. S*** sad. House N***** TINGZ. but it’s GOOD FI DEM!!!!!!! No loyalty? Welp. then n***** will keep son’ing you!!!!!”</p>
