Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Hiss” has certainly been making waves, but the Barbz have made sure that Nicki Minaj hasn’t lost out on any of the spotlight. For those who don’t know, Meg threw quite a bit of shade Nicki’s way on the song, seemingly calling out her husband for being a registered sex offender.
This has resulted in a massive feud between Meg and Nicki’s fiercely loyal fanbases online. Amid the debacle, Nicki has liked some shady Tweets aimed at Meg, and is already in the process of readying her response, “Big Foot.” She even recently called on her fans to get her Pink Friday 2 track with Lil Uzi Vert, “Everybody,” to re-enter the charts.
“Barbz, the decision is yours,” she wrote earlier today alongside a post about the track. Barbz in the comments quickly came through with screenshots of their purchases and demands for others to buy the song. Shortly after, Nicki shared a Tweet about the song nearing the top 10 on iTunes, encouraging them to continue. “Oh that was quick barbz! I believe in you,” she wrote. “Let’s go.” On the other side of things, Meg recently took to Twitter to promote “Hiss,” urging fans to “run it up.”
She just recently unveiled the song’s accompanying music video, which is receiving a ton of praise online. Nicki continues to promote Pink Friday 2 on Twitter, boasting about the album’s success. She also recently dropped a list of Meg’s flaws. “Every album she’s ever released= flopped. Paid media all the time. Fraudulent awards = flopped. Horrible ACTOR that can’t cry on cue don’t try to act bookie it’s a chop. Pathological & manipulative liar. Using ghost writers & still SUCK,” she wrote.

Megan Thee Stallion recently unleashed her new single “Hiss,” and it’s managed to get fans talking, to say the least. The track takes aim at those who’ve spoken down to Meg in the past, and includes notable jabs toward peers like Nicki Minaj. Of course, the release has prompted an all-out war between the Hotties and the Barbz, and Nicki is already gearing up to drop her response, “Big Foot.”
While the shade doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, as Meg and Nicki have had their fair share of differences in the past, this latest development has been nothing short of explosive. Countless fans and peers have taken to social media to weigh in, including Ebro. He recently hopped on Twitter to share his thoughts on the debacle, but according to him, it’s nothing but a promotional tactic.
Ebro Reacts To Megan Thee Stallion & Nicki Minaj Feud
“This Nicki and Megan promo is moving,” he wrote simply earlier today. This is far from the first time an artist has been accused of manufacturing beef to boost their record sales. Regardless, the chaos unfolding on Twitter suggests that plenty of fans are convinced that the feud is completely genuine. The jabs in “Hiss” also hit a bit close to home for Meg’s distaste for Nicki to be fabricated. She seemingly calls out Nicki’s husband Kenneth Petty, for one, who’s a registered sex offender.
“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law/I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start/B*tch, you a p*ssy (You a p*ssy), never finna check me (Yeah),” she rhymes.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” video continues the snake-y theme of her last single, “Cobra,” but adding some more surrealistic imagery that celebrates Megan herself.
The opening shot features an embryonic Megan gestating inside a snake egg, then the video slithers swiftly through a series of stunning shots of Megan surrounded by reflections of herself, including a dogpile of nude body parts, an Alice In Wonderland-like tiny room, and a literal hall of mirrors. She also watches herself on a wall of dozens of screens showing her performing and rocks a Cruella DeVille-esque black-and-white ensemble. Even more snake imagery appears at the end and throughout, Thee Stallion styles in a slew of slinky, risqué looks showing off her hard-earned curves.
“Hiss” continues the rollout of Meg’s first independent album, on which she’s promised to take to task all of the forces that aligned to try to bring her down in the past few years. The song itself contains a series of strategic strikes against those who’ve wronged her, from Nicki Minaj to all the men who made light of her shooting by Tory Lanez.

Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj are currently engaged in a bitter feud. Overall, these two do not like each other and they have spent the day going back and forth. Although the fans are pretty much split on whose side to take, there is no doubt that Meg dropped off an amazing song. In fact, her song seemingly takes shots at none other than Drake. Meg is coming with a new era, and she is taking notes on everyone who may have had something to say about her. It’s an interesting strategy that appears to be paying off.
When it comes to Megan Thee Stallion and her aesthetic, she has always been one to come through with a music video. She understands better than anyone that these are great ways to get people excited. The visuals help an artist stand out from the crowd. Furthermore, with a song as lyrically venomous as “Hiss,” you would expect some sort of music video to come out of it. Well, just moments ago, that video was unleashed to the masses. Below, you can watch from start to finish.
Throughout the visual, we get lots of colorful shots that showcase Megan in elaborate outfits. The artist looks great in these shots and she is exuding confidence throughout. Overall, her bars act as the driving force of the song and make her various looks that much more powerful. After the success of “Cobra,” this is another example of how this new era of Megan Thee Stallion is coming differently. We cannot wait to see what she ends up doing next.

As Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’s fans continue to clash over the former’s new song “Hiss,” Akbar V has taken to Twitter to weigh in. Notably, the single features various jabs at Nicki, which doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, as the two femcees haven’t gotten along previously. The fallout has been wild, with Nicki readying her “Big Foot” response track and liking shady posts on Twitter.
According to Akbar V, however, Meg didn’t really do much with “Hiss.” She’s shared several Tweets suggesting that she expected more from the Houston MC, despite being a friend of Nicki’s. “Damn you mean to tell me all the shhhh she done said you come back with that weak sh*t,” she began one Tweet. “#hiphop is dooooooomd i gotta couple questions 1. Was you scared 2. Who wrote it ? 3. Who gassed you ? 4. Who let you do it ?”
Akbar didn’t stop there, however. “Now if Meg did say some due shhhh i would’ve said oh that was hard but still team Nicki … but girl u ain’t eat nun ….” she added. The Atlanta native went on to claim that Nicki’s going to come out on top when she finally drops “Big Foot,” suggesting that Meg should get to work on her own response immediately. “Meg u need to already b in the studio like last night …..Nicki bout to clear u ….., this is Hiphop get back up Meg and try it again the first one ain’t stick u gotta get up and try again like Aaliyah said in that song,” she said.

So, remember how seemingly half the hip-hop world spent about three years making fun of Megan Thee Stallion for being shot, or calling her a liar and saying she wasn’t shot, or calling her a liar and saying the person who shot her wasn’t Tory Lanez?
Well, Megan remembers. She remembers, and she comes for literary revenge with her new single “Hiss.” While plenty of attention has been given to the obvious shot at Nicki Minaj, Meg reserves rhymes for just about everybody who threw dirt on her name. From Drake, who turned her trauma into a punchline, to her ex, Pardison Fontaine, who fueled a promo tour behind their recent breakup, Megan’s got plenty of targets on her latest, and she hits them all.
Absolutely. Here’s the line: “Bodies on bodies on bodies on bodies / Say he f*cked Megan and now he the topic / These n****s thinkin’ they lowered the value / All this free promo, I’m turnin’ a profit.”
DaBaby, with whom Megan fell out in the immediate aftermath of the shooting over his collaboration with Tory, made it a point to go around telling anyone who would listen that he smashed his “Cry Baby” collaborator, receiving a resounding yawn in return.
You better believe it. This one’s a little dicier and spread out, but we’ve got some juicy selections to choose from. “These n****s hate on BBLs and be walkin’ ’round with the same scars,” and “Cosplay gangsters, fake-ass accents,” both refer to rumors and accusations floating around about Drake. It’s not the first time the Toronto rapper has been accused of going under the knife, and his accents and mobsterisms have been the subject of ridicule for years.
Drake came for Megan unbidden in 2022, when his Her Loss track “Circo Loco” seemed to poke fun at Megan getting shot. “This b*tch lie ’bout getting shot but she still a stallion,” he raps, playing on the recent Brazilian butt lift trend and connecting it to the slang term for tall, thick women from which Megan got her name. There were two ways to read this, neither very nice to Meg: either he was using her shooting as the punchline of a sleazy dad joke, or suggesting that she too was lying about getting shot.
Meg wasn’t happy about it, especially considering he couldn’t wait to cozy up to her during her 2019 rise to stardom and doesn’t even seem to like Tory very much. An all-around bad look for Drake, who could have finally shook some of those soft misogyny allegations with a simple solidarity post.
Does Megan Diss Pardison Fontaine On “Hiss?”
Of course. While there’s some ambiguity to these. “I feel like Mariah Carey, got these n****s so obsessed…” and “He can’t move on, can’t let it go / he hooked, nose full of that Tina Snow,” are the most obvious, attributing Pardi’s recent slate of radio interviews and singles to the sense that perhaps he’s feeling a lack of closure. Meg also says, “I’m way too f*ckin’ cocky to take him back if he been cheatin’,” which could be about Pardi. While he denies cheating on her, Meg hasn’t exactly backed him up.
During a livestream on Instagram over the holidays, she responded to his interviews, saying, “If this man is saying, ‘I didn’t cheat on her. I didn’t do that’ — well then why the f*ck is you responding to me? Do you know how many n****s y’all claim I done f*cked with? Why are you answering? Why are you trying to make that shoe fit? Was it you getting your dick sucked in the same spot I was sleeping? If you said it wasn’t you, why the hell is you dissing me? Like what the f*ck is going on? Why are you talking to me? If you said I wasn’t talking to you. I wasn’t talking to you.”
Like the old saying goes, “hit dogs holler” — and Pardi has done some hollering.
Does Megan Diss Tory Lanez On “Hiss?”
Not directly. Instead, she reserves her vitriol for his online groupies, who’ve spent the last three years attacking her. “I don’t give a f*ck who think what,” she snarls. “You n****s is typin’ for nothin’ / On the internet typin’ this sh*t to me? Write him a letter or somethin’.”
This one seems pretty self-explanatory. If the guys want to be buddy-buddy with Tory, talk to him, not Meg. Stop being weird on Twitter.

For those who don’t know, Megan Thee Stallion recently unleashed her new song “Hiss,” which features various jabs at those who have spoken down on her. Notably, she threw quite a bit of shade at Nicki Minaj, who she’s had her fair share of differences with in the past. She didn’t call her out by name, but a mention of “Megan’s Law,” a law that requires authorities to notify the public of sex offenders in their area, made it pretty clear who she was talking about.
As expected, she and the Barbz have fired back with full force, leading to online chaos and even an upcoming response track from Nicki, “Big Foot.” As the two rap divas’ fanbases spar on social media, #BigFoot trends on Twitter, and Nicki likes shady posts about Meg, the Houston MC has stayed mostly silent.
She did recently call into The Breakfast Club, however, chatting with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy about the single. During their conversation, Meg reiterated that the song is a warning. “It’s basically telling you to back off,” she described. “I hear you, I see you, back up off me now.” When Charlamagne asked her to clarify whether she named any names, she noted that she didn’t. She went on to suggest that the track is actually aimed at multiple people. “Whoever feel it feel it,” she said.
Meg also mentioned that she doesn’t have social media on her phone, leaving her unbothered by the inevitable “smoke.” “They’re gonna act like it’s unprovoked. I’m gonna take a little nap, and I’ll wake back up to see what they have to say,” she explained. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’s beef?

Fresh off of the release of her new single “Hiss,” it is abundantly clear that Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj aren’t particularly fond of each other. But it wasn’t always like that. Before the top-tier rap women were lyrically at each other’s throats, they publicly sang the praises of one another.
In 2019, the pair even collaborated on Megan’s smash song “Hot Girl Summer.” After their nasty back-and-forth, it’s highly unlikely that the two will ever appear on a track together. But why did things go sour?
Why Do Megan Thee Stallion And Nicki Minaj Have Beef?
The answer will vary depending on which fan base (the Hotties or the Barbz) you ask. On “Hiss,” Megan says she has no idea why they fell out. However, in 2022, Nicki gave her account of the tear in their relationship during an episode of Queens Radio show on AMP. Nicki alleged that a woman rapper encouraged her to consume alcohol, but she refused because she was pregnant. The rapper then suggested she’d get an abortion so that she could truly enjoy herself.

Although Nicki did name Megan, that didn’t stop her fans from accusing her of the vile act. However, after getting wind of the rumor, Megan took to X (formerly Twitter) to deny the claims.
Others have speculated that Megan and Nicki’s beef has much pettier roots. Given Nicki’s rocky history with Cardi B, users online feel that tension began to brew when Megan jumped on Cardi’s 2020 track “WAP.” The beginning is fuzzy. But after Nicki poked fun at Megan being shot by Tory Lanez and, in return, Megan’s dig at Nicki’s husband Kenneth Petty’s sex offender status, things aren’t going to end anytime soon.

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallionare currently in a pretty wild beef. Overall, these two have not liked each other for a while. More recently, Nicki took some shots at Meg on the song “FTCU.” On that track, Nicki made reference to Tory Lanez and Iggy Azalea. Just last night, Megan came through with a diss track called “HISS” in which she went off on Nicki. While she didn’t call her out by name, she made mention of “Megan’s Law.” This law makes it so that law enforcement must make the public aware of sex offenders in the neighborhood. Quite clearly, this is a shot at Kenneth Petty, Minaj’s husband.
In the aftermath of Meg’s diss, Nicki immediately began responding. She levied up a diss that is reportedly called “Big Foot.” In fact, “#BigFoot” has even begun trending on social media. Moreover, Nicki began liking pictures of feet that were meant to mock Meg. Nicki even posted her own feet as a way to poke fun at the Tory Lanez shooting. These are all low blows, but they have certainly led to lots of engagement for Minaj, whose Barbz are out in full force today.
Below, you can see some of the tweets that have popped up in the aftermath of this feud. The vibes on Twitter right now are absolutely calamitous. Fans of both artists are taking sides, and a lot is being said about each other’s character. “All these responses to Nicki’s 10 second snippet and nobody has even spoken about that girls SONG lmaooo,” one person wrote. “Nobody is posting the links, nobody is speaking on anything outside of Nicki’s RESPONSE” Another fan said: “Nicki Minaj was a fresh new sound for so many millennial girls growing up. To have grown, become a woman myself & watch her legacy perish because she chose to marry a predator, enable rapists, and abusers, mock a woman who was shot? A shame. An embarrassment.”
The Fans Go Off

Megan Thee Stallion just released a new song, “Hiss.” On it, she appears to go after Nicki Minaj, rapping, “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law / I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start / B*tch, you a p*ssy, never finna check me / Every chance you get, bet your weak ass won’t address me.”
Since Megan’s Law has to do with sex offenders, the lyric has been interpreted as a reference to Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty. So, what are Minaj’s thoughts on the situation?
Did Nicki Minaj Diss Megan Thee Stallion?
It really looks like it, yeah.
After “Hiss” was released, Minaj hopped on Instagram Live to play a snippet of an unreleased song, on which she raps, “Bad b*tch, she like six foot, I call her Big Foot / The b*tch fell off, I said, ‘Get up on your good foot,’” an apparent reference to Megan getting shot in the foot by Tory Lanez. Furthermore, she also mocked Megan’s rap flow, saying, “You have three Grammys and you have to learn how to rap on the beat and be comfortable in the music.”
OOP! Nicki Minaj quickly responds to the shots Megan Thee Stallion threw on her newly released “HISS” by teasing a diss song and liking tweets of Meg being shot.
