Boo, I\u2019m an icon. You\u2019re not. The end.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Wait. Does Sza think she\u2019s more successful than me? Lol yall catch me up pls.

You absolutely know my music and what I contribute cause you\u2019ve asked for features twice to no response. In addition to rapping my lyrics on \u2018Feeling Myself\u2019\u2014\u2018Cooking up the bass looking like a kilo\u2019? Lol ur having a moment\u2026 I\u2019m not sure why but be blessed,\u201d SZA wrote.<\/p>\n She included a screenshot of a direct message exchange, allegedly from Minaj\u2019s team, requesting a collaboration.<\/p>\n The screenshot, which appeared professional and cordial, raised doubts over Minaj\u2019s suggestion that she neither respected nor acknowledged SZA\u2019s artistry.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I get bullied by millions online every day then step my ass out onna packed stadium tour where ppl show me REAL love .

GET SOME FUCKING PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL !!! <\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 SZA (@sza) July 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While replying to fans, SZA reaffirmed her stance that she \u201cgets bullied by millions online every day, then step my ass out onna packed stadium tour where people show me real love. In real life. My parents are healthy and I\u2019m the most successful I ever been. Get some perspective and bark at the wall!!!\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As tensions escalated, Minaj resurfaced old tweets allegedly made by SZA, criticising fellow superstars Beyonc\u00e9, Rihanna, Madonna, and Ciara, accusing the R&B star of \u201ctargeting women for no reason,\u201d whom the singer later worked with.<\/p>\n The altercation also revived Minaj\u2019s ongoing grievances with Roc Nation and its CEO Desiree Perez. Using the hashtag #JusticeForDemoree \u2014 in reference to Perez\u2019s daughter Demoree Hadley, who has accused her mother of unlawful detainment \u2014 Minaj linked the feud to broader allegations of bullying and control within the industry.<\/p>\n This latest clash added to Minaj\u2019s growing list of high-profile disputes with female artists, including Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Miley Cyrus, and Mariah Carey.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Like do you know the level of inside HATE for yourself you had to have had to be this much of a cunt for no reason to the women you later worked with?
