Nicki Minaj called out JAY-Z on Monday (July 7) in a heated post on Twitter (X), claiming she’s owed hundreds of millions from the sale of TIDAL and has yet to see a dime.
The dispute stems from JAY-Z’s sale of TIDAL to Square Inc., now known as Block, in 2021. Nicki Minaj, who was part of the original artist ownership group, believes her equity was never fairly honored during the transaction.
The rapper alleged she was shortchanged in the streaming platform’s acquisition and rejected a $1 million settlement offer. Minaj added she never received any compensation from the deal, stating she “didn’t even get one red penny.”
“We’ve calculated about 100-200MM so far,” she wrote. “Jay-Z call me to settle this karmic debt. It’s only collecting more interest. You still in my TOP 5 tho. Let’s get it n####. And anyone still calling him Hov will answer to God for the blasphemy.”
Minaj also revealed plans to use the money she says she’s owed to support her #StudentOfTheGame initiative to fund college tuition, school fees and student loan payments for her loyal Barbz.
Beyond the financial feud, Minaj has also accused JAY-Z and Roc Nation of ruining Hip-Hop, football, basketball, touring, Instagram and Twitter.
Last month, Nicki claimed JAY-Z and Roc Nation were targeting her and aligning with Demoree Hadley, the estranged daughter of Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez.
