Nicki Minaj and SZA: Is There a Silent Feud Brewing?

Rumors of a simmering feud between rappers Nicki Minaj and SZA have resurfaced, with fans pointing to a series of subtle interactions and perceived slights that suggest underlying tension. While neither artist has publicly addressed the alleged beef, online speculation continues to grow.

The alleged feud dates back to 2015 when SZA collaborated with Nicki and Beyoncé on the hit song “Feeling Myself.” However, recent events have reignited speculation of a rift:

Social Media Unfollows: In 2022, Nicki unfollowed SZA and Summer Walker after Cardi B’s feature on their song, prompting them to unfollow her in return.
SZA’s Interview Snub: SZA praised Beyoncé but failed to mention Nicki in an interview about “Feeling Myself,” raising eyebrows among fans.

Lack of Support for Nicki’s Album: SZA didn’t acknowledge Nicki’s “Pink Friday 2” album, despite it sampling her vocals. She also blocked fans who questioned her silence.
Album Release Clash: SZA faced backlash for announcing a deluxe version of her album around the same time as Nicki’s release, fueling accusations of sabotage.
Support for Latto: SZA’s recent public support for Latto, who had a public feud with Nicki, further suggests a strained relationship.

While these incidents could be coincidental, the pattern has led many to believe there’s more than meets the eye. Some speculate that the feud stems from events during the making of “Feeling Myself” or Nicki’s perceived favoritism towards Beyoncé.

Whether the alleged beef is real or simply fan speculation remains to be seen. However, the lack of public interaction and subtle slights continue to fuel the narrative of a silent feud between these two talented artists.
