Could Nicki Minaj’s Barbz fanbase be as rabid and vengeful as that of Donald Trump’s MAGA cult 45? We don’t know but some people down in Texas certainly seem to think so.
According to TMZ the Texas cemetery where Megan Thee Stallion’s mom, Holly Thomas was laid to rest has asked local authorities for extra security as Nicki Minaj referenced Megan’s deceased mother in her struggle diss record “Bigfoot.” After the record dropped, fans of Nicki took to social media and began to murmur about ways to get back at Megan Thee Stallion for slandering their Queen which included desecrating her mother’s gravesite. Knowing such a disgusting act was possible, the cemetery alerted authorities to the threat.
TMZ reports:
What’s more … we’re told PSC will continue to monitor the situation as they take all matters regarding safety and security seriously — and lately, things have been getting too real.
They do add … as of yet, thankfully nothing has happened to the gravesite, but they emphasize they’re on high alert regardless.
The extra precautions come after some of Nicki’s “Barbz” — AKA, her army of fiercely loyal supporters — first leaked the location of Holly’s burial site on social media … encouraging others to go and desecrate her grave as a way to get back at MTS for her OG diss.
Doxing locations is such a MAGA thing to do these days. Just sayin.’
We really hope that no one out there actually goes out and disrespects Ms. Holly’s resting place just in the name of Nicki Minaj, but the way people have become so tribal these days over political views and pop culture even, you just never know what they’re capable of.
All of this just because Megan Thee Stallion took a subliminal shot at Nicki’s husband being a convicted sex offender. Hip-Hop beef in 2024 SMH.
What do y’all think of this situation? Let us know in the comments section below.

Megan Thee Stallion is putting her head down and getting busy in 2024.
Fresh off the heels of her record “Hiss,” which got one rapper reacting for numerous days just off one bar, Megan Thee Stallion is keeping the momentum going and will be dropping a new album and going on tour.
Now on the independent tip, Megan Thee Stallion continues to strike while the iron is hot. She revealed to Good Morning America that she is prepping her third studio album and will hit the road for her Hot Girl Summer Tour later this year.
“Oh, we’ve having the tour this year. The Hot Girl Sumer tour is going to be 2024, summertime,” the Houston rapper said during her GMA appearance. “I feel like I’ve never been able to be outside doing my own thing during the summer, since like 2019. So this is going to be the first time that I drop an album on time for the summer. I do want to give the hotties the Megan Thee Stallion experience.
Megan Thee Stallion Dropped “Hiss” & Kept It Moving
Both the album and tour have no solid dates, but Thee Stallion already dropped two singles in “Cobra” and, most recently, the scathing record “Hiss.”
Speaking of “Hiss,” the news of her upcoming moves comes on the heels of her feud with Nicki Minaj. In the record, Megan Thee Stallion didn’t say Minaj’s name. Still, many believe her bar referencing Megan’s Law was a shot at the Queen’s rapper and her decision to marry Kenneth Petty, a convicted sex offender.
While Minaj has been hollering and pushing her diss track “Big Foot,” which landed with a thud as far as being a response record according to social media, don’t tell Minaj or her fans that Megan Thee Stallion has seemingly moved on and is just focusing on her next move.

Men lie, women lie, and numbers don’t, but are numbers indicative of something’s actual worth? Nicki Minaj certainly seems to think so.
Responding to Megan Thee Stallion’s “subliminal” diss on “HISS,” Nicki Minaj clapped back with the lackluster response track “Bigfoot” and though most Hip-Hop fans called the song a complete dud, Nicki feels she struck gold as she boasted about the numbers the song garnered upon its release.
Hopping on Instagram to take a victory lap, Nicki felt that the 2.45 million views that the track got on the first day of its release was something to celebrate and in the caption said as much even though many of her fans weren’t feeling the cut.
“Imagine being backed by a machine & going up against me, THEE MACHINE. Imagine spending money on a music video & full campaign only for an audio of a blank screen with just my RAPS to gets more views. A rap I made up joking on IG LIVE in mins Broke APPLE MUSIC & YOUTUBE records. NOW WE WAITING ON SPOTIFY!!!!!!! WHO WANNA PLAY WIT NICKI?!?? 🤣 Spotify ain’t gotta lie!!!!!! They REALLY STREAMING my music. 😎 #BigFOOT This is what happens when you think FAKE BOTS, PAID BLOGS & FAKE STUNTS will win the war in 2024 this is thinking you that bitch then running into THAT BITCH. #HeavyOnIt@tateko1 lets GOOOOOOOOOOO #GagCITY WHO MAD?!?!!!!!! Idc,” Nicki Minaj wrote.
Well, the numbers are the numbers, so we can’t take that away from her.
Still, fans chimed in on the comments about the song and had some pointed takes saying things like, “this is sooooooooooooooo embarrassing!!!!! song is TRASH and u ruining your legacy 😢,” and “You really tryna package up those stats like you’ve done something.”
But even with the backlash that Nicki’s garnered over her “hit” diss song, many fans came to her defense and praised her for making “history” with her “Bigfoot” drop with posts like “[C]ongratulations and this is not the end at all! You’re only getting warmed up.”
Now we wait and see if this is the end of the Megan vs. Nicki beef or just the beginning.
What do y’all think of Nicki Minaj patting herself on the back for the “success” of “Bigfoot”? Let us know in the comments section below.

A TikTok user defending Megan The Stallion in her rap feud with Nicki Minaj claims that Minaj’s fans doxxed him, threatening his life.
Over the weekend, social media was ablaze as Nicki Minaj publicly vented at length over a line in Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single “Hiss”. “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” the three-time Grammy Award winner said, apparently referencing Kenneth Petty, Minaj’s husband since 2019 (Petty is a convicted sex offender).
Minaj took offense, making fun of the Houston native being shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in 2020 as well as insulting the rapper’s late mother in an Instagram live video on Friday (January 25). That didn’t sit well with Bela Delgado, a TikTok user who blasted the Pink Friday artist in a video.
The video caught the attention of Miraj’s fans known as the “Barbz” whom Delgado said have been harassing and threatening him. “Nicki Minaj fans are attempting to dox me, messaging family members as well as people who aren’t members of my family, sending them s–t — apparently they got somebody’s address,” he said in a video posted on Saturday (January 26). “I am sorry. I’m so sorry that I disrespected Nicki Minaj. I saw a lot of other people doing it; I thought I’d add my two cents.” He cited his autism in the apology, saying to his 1.4 million followers that “sometimes things come out a lot harsher” because he’s on the spectrum.
Delgado said in the now-deleted video that he felt Minaj was a “disgusting and reprehensible person by pretty much all metrics of basic humanity and common decency,” referencing that he was once a former supporter of hers. It changed “when she started intentionally surrounding herself with sex offenders,” referencing Petty & Jelani Miraj, Nicki’s brother who was convicted of raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter in 2015.
The back-and-forth between Nicki Minaj and the “Savage” rapper has gotten exceedingly ugly, as Minaj released a new song entitled “Bigfoot” which included lyrics previewed in her Instagram live video: “She like 6 foot, I call her big foot,” Minaj raps, before saying someone “fell off, I said get up on your good foot.” Minaj has also been spotted amplifying her fans’ posts on X, formerly Twitter. For her part, Megan Thee Stallion replied on her Instagram showing her doubled over in laughter covering her mouth as she previewed Minaj’s response to “Hiss”.

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have disrupted the Hip-Hop timeline in a major fashion, with the Queens veteran launching an all-out online assault on the Houston star. After the perceived shot from Megan Thee Stallion towards Nicki Minaj on “Hiss,” the Pink Friday 2 star fired back with the diss track “Bigfoot,” and fans are reacting.
As we previously reported, Megan Thee Stallion dropped her latest single, “Hiss,” last week as part of her return to the music scene, and one line in particular seemed to ruffle the feathers of Nicki Minaj.
The lyric in question reads, “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,” which has been assumed to be about Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty and his past legal woes.
This, in turn, sparked Minaj to go on a days-long tirade on social media, egged on her legion of fans known as the “Barbz,” and things got ugly with MTS’ deceased parents being brought into the fray and mention of the shooting incident with Tory Lanez.
With “Bigfoot,” Minaj wasted little time addressing the line mentioned above from “Hiss” and continued to pile on the attacks in a song with all the current tea within.
From “Bigfoot”:
This lil’ beggin’ whore talkin’ ’bout Megan’s lawFor a free beat, you could hit Megan raw (Ooh)If you a ghost writer, Pardi in Megan jaw (Ooh-ooh)Shots thrown, but I still ain’t let Megan score (Tell ’em)Bad bitch, she like six foot (Ooh), I call her Big Foot (Brr-brr)The bitch fell off, I said, “Get up on your good foot” (Ah, ah)
Minaj ends the song by suggesting she. has more ammo in the tank for Megan should she want this beef to continue. As expected, the Barbz and the Hotties, which are MTS’ supporters, are at each other’s virtual throats and we’ve got all the reactions to “Bigfoot” below.

Megan Thee Stallion spoke her piece in her fiery diss track, “Hiss,” and it had the people reacting all day on Friday (Jan. 26). One person in particular who took offense was Nicki Minaj, who was responding to Meg’s hollow point shot almost all day.
It started when Meg dropped “Hiss” early Friday morning and most everyone took note of the line, “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.”
That was clearly aimed at Nicki Minaj since Megan’s Law is a federal law that requires sexual offender’s names to be made public for the safety of the community they reside in. The law thus applies to Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender, and eventually her brother, Jelani Maraj, who is currently serving time for child rape.
Soon after the release of “Hiss,” Minaj went on Instagram Live to return fire, posting a snippet of a Megan diss song she apparently had tucked. While also cracking on the size of Meg’s feet and trying to shame her for getting Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting her, sent to jail, Minaj’s retort just didn’t hit. And then ish got extra dark when she came for Meg’s deceased mother.
While the Barbz are a devoted bunch still have Minaj’s back, it does seem like the tide is turning with many on social media noting she’s coming off more and more like a bully (which isn’t a new complaint). This particular kid critic on Tik Tok went in and managed to get “Queen Of Rape” trending…whew.
Clearly, it’s been a long time since 2019, when Meg and Nicki collaborated on “Hot Girl Summer.” And to think this all may stem from Minaj not appreciating that Meg collaborated with Cardi B on “WAP.”
Peep the wildest reactions to Meg vs Nicki, and the latter’s spiral on social media, in the gallery.

Megan Thee Stallion is back with another snake-themed single following last year’s “Cobra” with the blistering “Hiss” track and it looks like there’s some smoke for a fellow artist if the chatter is true. Some fans believe Megan Thee Stallion took a swipe at Nicki Minaj on “Hiss” and the reactions are going crazy right now.
Megan Thee Stallion has been inching her way back to the limelight after taking time away to gather her resources, doing so with the explosive “Cobra” last November. While that track gave fans some insight into Megan’s journey to healing, “Hiss” is a return to Tina Snow addressing all her haters in a big and bold fashion.
However, there is a portion of the song’s first verse that seemingly has the Barbz forming like Voltron to attack the Houston Hottie by calling her “Bigfoot” as some believe it was a dig at Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty.
“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,” reads the lyric. Megan’s Law is a federal law that “require(s) the release of relevant information to protect the public from sexually violent offenders” — and some are connecting this bar to Petty’s sex offenders registry inclusion.
In the early part of the verse, Megan addressed her so-called promiscuity, which came under fire during the Tory Lanez trial and was once brought up again by her ex-boyfriend, Pardison Fontaine. In the second verse, Megan seemingly takes a shot at Drake and that too is causing a stir online.
That said, Megan Thee Stallion is taking ownership of her choices and body, and it doesn’t look like she’s letting her foot up off the gas anytime soon.
Check out the reaction from all sides below, along with the lyric video.

Nicki Minaj is preparing to tour the world in support of her latest studio album, Pink Friday 2, but given her level of fame, she also has to contend with attacks on her character. After a gossip blog alleged Nicki Minaj needed rehab before hitting the road, the Queens superstar responded to the claims.
By way of the blog CrazyDaysAndNights, the author of the site posted a “blind item” which was suggested to be about the popular music star and later disscusted on the @CelebriTEAblinds TikTok page.
“Speaking of horrible people, this foreign-born former A+ list rapper definitely needs rehab before she tries to do a tour. It will be awful,” read the blind item post, which seemingly appears to be scrubbed from the CrazyDaysAndNights page according to our search efforts.
@CelebriTEAblinds elaborated on the rumor in the video below, which garnered a reply from Minaj.
The account then posted a direct message from Minaj and recorded another video explaining their side and also confusion over Minaj’s comment, which read, “Once ugly disease allegedly is being paid to get uglier.”
The account then attempted to decipher a comment from Minaj reading “Allegedly they are sucking someone’s dick & being paid to try and tear down a tour. SOLD OUT. SOLD OUT. SOLD OUT. Allegedly you have a disease?” which can be seen in the clip below.
To help clear up any confusion, Minaj let it be known that she’s referring to @CelebriTEAblinds as “ugly” due to discussing the blind items. As is the case with content like this, @CelebriTEAblinds is angling this to get more views on their page and even explaining what a blind item is to the unfamiliar.
Check out the final salvo in the discussion from Nicki Minaj below.

It’s that time of year where everyone makes some kind of New Year’s resolution, but Nicki Minaj’s promise to herself seems to have thrown CNN’s Anderson Cooper for a loop.
During CNN’s annual New Year’s Eve Live broadcast Sunday (Dec. 31), Cohen played a clip of his Watch What Happens Live interview with Nicki Minaj in which he asked her what her New Year’s resolution would be. True to form, Nicki told Cohen “My New Year’s resolution is to keep my foot on these b*tches’ necks!” Of course, we in the Hip-Hop community know what Minaj was talking about, but Cooper was taken aback and astonished at the statement the Queen rapper made.
Clearly stunned by the clip, Cooper turned to Cohen and asked, “Wow, what was that? What did she say?” to which Cohen gleefully replied: “Keep my foot on these b*tches necks!” After Cooper asked who she could be “referring to,” Cohen simply stated “B*tches.”
These dudes are hilarious.
We all know who’s been beefing with Nicki for the past few years, so we know who that dart was meant for, but apparently Anderson Cooper doesn’t keep up with the latest drama in Hip-Hop culture.
Viewers saw the moment and immediately hopped on social media to share in their delight of the segment.
You gotta love it.

The Barbz are R E A C T I N G all because Trina shared her opinion on who she feels is the Queen of Rap, and here’s a hint: it’s not Nicki Minaj.
The “baddest b*tch” shook the Hip-Hop tables when she crowned Beyoncé the queen of Rap during an interview with HipHopDX after she was asked about her thoughts on the new wave of female Hip-Hop stars.
The “Pull Over” crafter credited the Houston singer with opening doors, allowing for many female rappers in the ever-evolving and constantly growing Hip-Hop industry.
Yeah, Beyoncé ’cause she’s like the number one female rapper when she does rap,” Trina said.
She continued, “It’s just one of those things like, of course, this is the Queen’s Beyoncé, but when you hear her do a song and it’s rapping involved, it’s like, ‘Oh my God,’ like it just, it’s more inspiration and, um, I don’t know it’s just a good thing, man.”
The Barbz Are Mad & Trina Doesn’t Care
Trina’s opinion hit a nerve with the Barbz, who feel their queen, Nicki Minaj, currently holds that title. They didn’t realize that Trina wasn’t one to back down, and she took to Instagram to tell them to stay mad while doubling down on what she said during the interview.
In a post shared in her IG Stories, she wrote:
“For the dusty crusty funky b***hes in the bacccckkkk [loudly speaking emoji] Beyoncé is the queen of rap (when she raps) and ALL other genres of music,” she wrote in her IG Story post, which can be viewed below. “Now stay mad goofy’s I said what I said and NANN b***h gone check me. [middle finger emoji] Carry on [hot face emoji].”
She also shared a permanent post on her Instagram timeline for good measure.
She said what she said.
