Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Reignite Beef

From TMZ:

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have taken their years-long beef to a whole new level — or we should probably say a new LOW because they’re both leveling disgusting, unproven allegations at each other.

It appears Nicki’s fired the first shot … going off on Meek after seeing that he liked a meme that took a shot at her hubby, Kenneth Petty. Mrs. Petty then posted on IG, calling Meek a clown and alleging he’s a woman-beater. She wrote, “U do IT for likes. #TwitterFingers beat women, scared of men.”

She made it a double-barrel social media attack by tweeting, “You beat your own sister and taped it. Spit on her & taped it. Kicked me in front [of] your mother and sent her to the hospital. Sucking drake d**k made u feel tough again. Move on.”

There’s no evidence to support any of those allegations.

It didn’t take long for Meek to respond by roping Nicki’s convict brother into the mudslinging. As we first reported, Jelani Maraj was found guilty of predatory sexual assault against a child, and just got 25 years to life.

Again, Meek’s claims she knew about her bro’s crimes and paid for his attorneys … all unproven.

There’s a lot more … as the war of words continues, but you get the point.

As we’ve reported … Nicki and Kenneth ran into Meek at a WeHo store last month. The confrontation nearly came to blows and an epic shouting match ensued.

Nicki Minaj & Joe Budden Go At It on Both Queen Radio & The Joe Budden Podcast

Because they do anything for clout. It’s definitely entertaining though. Check out links to both below.

NICKI MINAJ VS. JOE BUDDEN – QUEEN RADIO

Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden got into a heated discussion during the newest episode of Queen Radio — which was also the 1-year anniversary of the show — that aired yesterday (Aug. 13). Joe Budden, along with his podcast partners and co-hosts Rory and Mal, were guest of Queen Radio and things began to take a left turn when Budden suggested that the rollout of Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki’s new single, “Hot Girl Summer,” was “calculated.” “You like tearing down women when they can’t defend themselves,” Nicki told Budden.

After a brief back and forth about the past situation surrounding “Motorsport,” Minaj confronted Budden on his drug allegations surrounding the Beam Me Up Scotty spitta. The tension got so high that the Queens native cut Budden’s mic off.

“Cut [Budden]‘s f*cking mic,” Nicki told her producer after drug allegations came up. “It’s been malicious and specific to me because he and I were under the same people when we were coming up,” she says. “I used to think to myself, this man is so bitter… I didn’t think his ego was that out of control that he couldn’t admit when he was wrong.” – Hypebeast
