A public argument between singers Nicki Minaj and SZA has drawn attention on social media. The feud began on X (formerly Twitter) on July 15, after Minaj posted multiple comments that appeared aimed at both SZA and Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence “Punch” Henderson. Their exchange involved personal insults and references to ongoing lawsuits.
Argument Starts After Comments on Punch
Nicki Minaj began the exchange by recalling past criticism from TDE president Punch. She claimed that he bullied her on Twitter and shared, “Yall remember that man from tde who kept bullying me on Twitter for no reason? We have the receipts.”
Minaj added, “I never even responded to him. What was his name again, yall? Ima call him ‘Minus 30 million’ from now on. #JusticeForDemoree.” She also used the phrase “Tiny D–k Executive.”
These posts referenced a legal case involving Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, and her daughter Demoree Hadley, who accused her mother of institutionalizing her without consent. Minaj has used hashtags related to this case throughout her posts.
