The mother of all feuds.
Nicki Minaj took her reignited beef with Megan Thee Stallion to another level on Friday when she cracked a joke about the “Savage” rapper’s mother who died a few years ago.
Minaj went on Instagram Live after the 28-year-old slammed her husband of four years, Kenneth Petty, in her new song, “Hiss.”
Megan’s track features the lyric, “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan / these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” which refers to the US law requiring law enforcement to share information about registered sex offenders with the public.
The lyric was perceived by Minaj’s fans as a diss since her husband, 45, is a registered sex offender and was convicted of attempted rape charges.

Instagram/ Nicki MinajSome fans even suspected it could’ve been a dig at the 41-year-old “Anaconda” rapper’s brother, Jelani Maraj, who was convicted in 2017 of predatory sexual assault for the rape of his 11-year-old stepdaughter.
Following the release of the song, Minaj told Megan to “conjure up her mother and apologize” because the lyric was “disgusting.”
Megan’s mother, Holly Thomas, died in March 2019 from a cancerous brain tumor.
After Megan seemingly took a shot at Petty for being a registered sex offender, Minaj said Megan should “conjure up her mother and apologize.” Megan Thee Stallion/InstagramMegan previously touched upon her mother’s death while accepting her 2021 Glamour Woman of the Year award, but she hasn’t yet commented on Nicki’s comments.
However, fans on social media have.
“Nicki is completely losing me, this was real nasty of her,” one X user wrote, while another added, “I can’t believe we saw the day nicki became insecure and bitter.”
Megan hasn’t yet commented on Minaj’s joke. WireImage Megan’s fans did, however, clap back at Minaj on X. nickiminaj/InstagramMinaj didn’t directly say why she went after Megan’s late mother, but she did tell her fans that her family is constantly a “focal point” of criticism, and she’s getting tired of it.

“Bad bitch, she like 6 foot / I call her Bigfoot / The bitch fell off / I said get up on your good foot,” the “Barbie World” rapper says in the song.
It’s not clear when their feud started, but it was sometime after they collaborated on “Hot Girl Summer” in 2019. InstagramIn December 2022, Lanez, 31, was found guilty on all charges for shooting Megan and several months later, he sentenced to 10 years in prison.
It’s still unclear when Minaj and Megan’s feud actually started, but they were on great terms with each other in 2019 when they collaborated on their hit, “Hot Girl Summer.”
Some fans believe the friendship ended after Megan collaborated with Minaj’s nemesis Cardi B on their hit single “WAP,” which came out in 2020.
