Nicki Minaj has appeared to take shots at Megan Thee Stallion and Latto on her new album, Pink Friday 2.
The Young Money hitmaker released her long-awaited fifth LP on Friday (December 8) and it seemingly contains a few shots at some of her female rap rivals.
On the track “FTCU,” Nicki appears to take aim at Megan Thee Stallion, who she’s rumored to have fallen out with, by referencing Tory Lanez and Iggy Azalea.
“Stay in your Tory lane, bitch, I’m not Iggy,” she warns over speaker-rattling, trap-flavored production from ATL Jacob.
Megan and Iggy previously had an issue in 2019 over a failed collaboration, but the miscommunication was quickly cleared up.
Iggy was also rumored to be dating Tory last year and recently wrote a letter in support of him in his shooting case against Megan.
The apparent diss didn’t go unnoticed by fans, with many taking to social media to share their reactions.
“Lmao yes… she slapped Megan thee Stallion several times.. told that horse to stay in #ToryLanez meaning stay where you been dicking riding coins.. lmao SICKENING!! #FREETORYLANEZ lmao Nicki ate her up thru out the album!! FINALLY,” one X user wrote.
“nicki minaj is so obsessed with this one sided rap beef with megan. girl worry about yo man beeping ankle and the fact he cant take your son to school,” another said, referencing her husband Kenneth Petty’s house arrest.
Someone else wrote: “That Megan diss was tooo nasty wtf did she do to Nicki I need to know.”
Nicki Minaj also appears to take shots at Latto on “Fallin 4 U,” seemingly using her clever wordplay skills to blur the line between “locs, ho” and the rapper’s name.
“Picture you endin’ up under the seat, where the dread at?/ Picture not listenin’ when I said you would dread that/ I mean locs, ho, you-you’s a chop ho/ I’m number one, y’all go argue over top four/ Clean, sweep, you gettin’ mopped, ho,” she raps.
This verse sparked similar strong reactions on social media, with one commenter writing: “nicki is so funny for sonically overlaying latto with locs hoe. she got everyone confused af #PinkFriday2.”
Another fan said: “Nicki just dissed Latto? Nicki is a cornball. Now she wanna say names but couldn’t say names before? Please,” another fan wrote.
Released via Young Money and Republic Records, Pink Friday 2 clocks in at 22 tracks — including the previously released “Super Freaky Girl,” “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” and “Last Time I Saw You” — and boasts features from Drake, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Future, Lil Uzi Vert and others.
The project serves as the sequel to her 2010 debut album Pink Friday and her first album since 2018’s Queen, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 185,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
