Bang bang.
Nicki Minaj blasted SZA in a brutal social media rant on Tuesday, comparing her fellow rapper’s voice to a “f–king dead dog.”
The scathing back-and-forth began when the “Barbie World” rapper, 42, acccused SZA’s manager and Top Dawg Entertainment label president, Terrence “Punch” Henderson, of “bullying.”
When SZA subsequently tweeted, “Mercury retrograde … don’t take the bait lol silly goose,” Minaj took this as a diss.
She took repeated shots at the 35-year-old, from saying SZA “look[s] and sound[s] like she got stung by a bee” to urging her to “go draw your freckles back on bookie.”
Minaj added, “SZA if every song you’ve ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn’t even miss you. I’ve been to countries that never heard of you.”

The Grammy nominee also railed against SZA’s decision to “put out a whole new album as a deluxe to an already existing album that was out for like a year or 2 so the original album could break records,” referencing “SOS.”
Minaj, who also compared SZA’s voice to a “f–king dead dog,” asked, “Like what in the insecure lack of morals & integrity you doing?”
SZA replied, “I don’t give a f–k bout none of that weird s–t you popping.”
She also insisted that the tweet that kicked off the feud had nothing to do with Minaj in the first place as she “wasn’t even talking about … anyone.”
Additionally, the Grammy winner clapped back at one of Minaj’s fans criticizing her.
“I get bullied by millions online every day then step my ass out on [a] packed stadium tour where ppl show me REAL love. IN REAL LIFE,” she wrote.
SZA, who began touring with Kendrick Lamar in April, wrote, “My parents are healthy and I’m the most successful I ever been.”
She concluded, “Lmao lemme go back to being calm shy and meek. Yall have blessed night !”
Reps for SZA and Minaj did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Last year, Minaj made headlines for a feud with Megan Thee Stallion — and the 30-year-old told Billboard that she still doesn’t “know what the problem is” between them.
Minaj also has long been at odds with Cardi B, which culminated in the “Bodak Yellow” throwing a shoe at Minaj during a New York Fashion Week party in 2018.
Cardi, 32, has yet to react to her nemesis’ viral spat with SZA, simply posting an unfazed video of herself eating crab legs Tuesday night.
