Beyoncé GOES OFF On Nicki Minaj Over Jay-Z Allegations?! (Nicki Has Videos!)
The Cold War Goes Nuclear: Nicki Minaj vs. The Carters and the Allegations of a Silent Industry Hit
The long-simmering tension between Nicki Minaj and the power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z has exploded into a full-blown industry cold war. Following a series of public rants and wild allegations by Minaj, sources claim Beyoncé has moved to quietly “shut her out of the industry,” with an alleged campaign to cancel festival slots, freeze promo, and warn sponsors.
The rapper has accused Jay-Z of everything from financial fraud to professional sabotage, but the moment that allegedly triggered Beyoncé’s private retaliation was when Minaj “crossed a serious line” by dragging the couple’s children into her separate beef with Cardi B.
The Claims: Money, Mayhem, and Sabotage
Nicki Minaj’s social media rants have put numerous shocking claims into the public sphere, primarily targeting Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez:
The Tidal “Scam”: Minaj claims Jay-Z owes her “between $100 and $200 million” from the 2021 sale of the Tidal streaming service. She was one of the founding artist-partners with an alleged 3% stake but says she was only offered $1 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which she refused. (Note: Industry executive Steve Stoute has publicly argued she lost out because she “didn’t sign the paperwork.”)
The Amsterdam Arrest: Minaj accused Jay-Z and Roc Nation of orchestrating her arrest in Amsterdam during her European tour for allegedly carrying marijuana pre-rolls. She claimed people were “paid big money to try to sabotage a tour” after attempts to steal money from her travel failed. She suggested a mole on her team was leaking information to Roc Nation.
Ruining Hip-Hop and Sports: She publicly posted a list on social media, claiming Jay-Z “ruined hiphop, you ruined football, you ruined basketball,” and essentially every other aspect of culture. She also claimed Jay-Z influenced the decision to pass over Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl Halftime show.
Desiree Perez Attacks: Minaj has repeatedly attacked Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, calling her out for her 1994 drug conviction (for which she was later pardoned by President Trump) and mentioning a separate public lawsuit involving Perez’s daughter.
The Breaking Point: Dragging the Kids
While Jay-Z and Beyoncé maintained their famous public silence for months, the tension reportedly escalated dramatically when Minaj amplified an old rumor about Jay-Z’s alleged estranged son, and then, critically, targeted Beyoncé’s children.
In a social media exchange with Cardi B, Minaj wrote, “Oh, girl, Camel, let’s talk about your kids today,” which fans interpreted as a shot at the Carter children after calling the couple “camel and rat.” This act was widely seen by fans as a violation of the sacred, unspoken industry rule: “Watch your mouth when it comes to Beyoncé and her kids.”
After this, sources claim Beyoncé’s patience ran out, and she began to leverage her massive influence to implement a “silent revenge” strategy. Reports began circulating that major producers pulled out of Minaj’s projects, her new singles were missing prime placements, and festival slots were being quietly canceled.
The consensus from fans and insiders alike is that the moment she brought the family into the feud, Nicki “pushed boundaries that even industry legends know not to touch,” which will ultimately hit her career where it hurts most: “her bag and her brand.”
