From duet to duel! It’s disappointing to see two of the most influential female rappers resort to petty feuds. Started by Megan Thee Stallion’s Hiss, Nicki Minaj’s rebuttal with ‘Big Foot’ has exposed an unknown chapter.
A lyrical battle between rap powerhouses Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has taken a turn we never saw coming. But what’s the real beef here? Is it just creative expression taken to the extreme, or is there more to this high-voltage drama?
Nicki Minaj’s fiery response to Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single, “Hiss,” has left the internet in a whirlwind of speculation and intrigue. Both artists, known for their unapologetic styles and assertive lyrics, seem to have hit a nerve this time. But amidst the punchy lines and bold claims, one particular lyric has become the eye of the storm.
The feud took a personal turn when Megan’s track “Hiss” seemed to throw shade at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender when she used the term ‘Megan’s Law’ in her lyrics. This was not taken lightly by Minaj, who retaliated fiercely with “Big Foot,” accusing Megan of exploiting sensitive topics for clout. Minaj reveals that Megan used her mother’s death with lies.
The Heart of the Feud: A Rare “Big Foot” Resurfaces
The drama unfolded when Megan Thee Stallion dropped her single “Hiss,” with lyrics that didn’t just scratch the surface but clawed deep. The line, “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” was interpreted by many as a direct hit at Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty.
Petty’s past, mired in legal controversies, became the ammunition for this lyrical onslaught.
Nicki Minaj, never one to shy away from a battle, swung back with her own set of heavy artillery. Her track “Big Foot” wasn’t just a rebuttal; it was a full-fledged attack.
She accused Megan of “lying on your dead mother” and not being able to “rap on the beat.” The references were to Petty and the highly publicized shooting incident involving Megan and Tory Lanez, adding layers to an already complex feud.
But it wasn’t just about the tit-for-tat. Minaj’s defense of her husband was fierce and unyielding. She’s been known to stand by Petty through thick and thin, previously clashing with talk show host Wendy Williams over his criminal history.
Minaj’s argument? People can change, and the past shouldn’t be a life sentence.
Yet, the situation is far from black and white. Megan’s “Hiss” wasn’t just a diss track; it was her narrative, her way of clapping back at a society quick to judge and label.
Her words, “I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start,” were more than a warning; they were a statement of power in an industry and a world where women, particularly black women, often find their voices muffled.
The conflict is more than just a battle of words or egos. It’s a reflection of deeper issues—of how personal lives become public spectacles, how the past can haunt the present, and how the line between art and personal attack can sometimes blur.
At what point does artistic expression become a personal vendetta? Is the public sphere the right place to settle such deeply personal scores?
