Nicki Minaj’s online clash intensified after she made body-shaming remarks against TDE’s Punch as her feud with SZA explodes.
Nicki Minaj escalated her war of words with Top Dawg Entertainment to another level by mocking the weight of label president Punch in a now-viral tweet, which has intensified a public standoff with singer SZA.
“TDE EXEC ALLEGEDLY WENT TO DR. NOW for his weight loss journey & they just called him & said it’s time to do the loose skin part now. Allegedly,” she wrote, continuing a string of insults aimed at both Punch and SZA stemming from a feud that began earlier this month.

Tensions worsened after SZA pointed out that her SOS Tour grossed over $113 million, which actually bested the $108 million earnings from Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour.
After one of Minaj’s supporters questioned her success, SZA fired back with, “I get bullied by millions online every day then step my ass out onna packed stadium tour where ppl show me REAL love . IN REAL LIFE . My parents are healthy and I’m the most successful I ever been. GET SOME F###### PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL !!!”
The feud began after Nicki Minaj accused SZA of being “fake” and dismissed her artistry, claiming she relied on auto-tune and wasn’t a real icon. Minaj escalated the situation by resurfacing old tweets, which she claimed were dissing Beyoncé and Rihanna by SZA.
SZA responds to Nicki Minaj:
“Nicki . You absolutely know my music and what I contribute cause you’ve asked for features twice to no response . In addition to rapping my lyrics on feeling myself “Cooking up the bass looking like a kilo”? Lol ur having a moment ..im not sure why… pic.twitter.com/2Sw21v8ItQ

SZA countered with receipts. She posted a texting exchange from 2020 showing Minaj’s team reaching out for a possible collaboration.
“You’ve asked for features twice to no response,” SZA told her. She also reminded the Barbz that she co-wrote lyrics for Minaj’s “Feelin’ Myself.”
Nicki Minaj is a Young Money veteran, like rapper Drake, who’s currently embroiled in an ongoing feud with ex-TDE artist Kendrick Lamar.
SZA, meanwhile, remains focused on her international tour with Kendrick Lamar on the Grand National Tour, with the next leg heading to Paris.
