Megan Thee Stallion’s new album, titled Megan, dropped on Friday, June 28th, and it has already sparked a flurry of speculation among fans. Many believe the rapper is subtly dissing Nicki Minaj on several tracks, reigniting their ongoing feud.
The history between the two artists is well-documented. Earlier this year, Nicki Minaj released the diss track “Big Foot” in response to Megan’s hit song “Hiss,” which topped the Hot 100 chart and serves as the intro track on Megan. Notably, fans think the real jabs come in the very next song, “Rattle.”
In “Rattle,” Megan wastes no time, opening with the line, “Ain’t got no tea on me, this ho think she TMZ.” This appears to be a direct response to a rant from Nicki at the end of “Big Foot,” where she says, “Now listen up, Big Foot. You know I got a lotta tea. I went easy on you.”
Megan continues with what fans interpret as more veiled shots at Minaj: “Damn, b—h, it been four years / Worry ’bout your man and your kid,” and “Your life must be borin’ as f—k if you still reminiscin’ ’bout s—t that we did.” These lyrics seem to reference her collaborations with Nicki on “Hot Girl Summer” and with Cardi B on “WAP,” released in 2019 and 2020, around the time their relationship began to sour. Megan closes the verse with, “And I ain’t worried ’bout the bitter b—h link up / Y’all h—s earned them seats in the fan club,” potentially alluding to the artists who performed the “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)” with Nicki during her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
In the subsequent track “Figueroa,” Megan delivers another potential diss: “I’m a motherf—n’ Brat, not a Barbie / On go with any b—h that wanna start it.” Fans were quick to catch on, noting that Nicki’s fanbase is famously known as the Barbz.
With these apparent digs, fans are buzzing with the question of whether Nicki Minaj will respond in kind, much like Kendrick Lamar did following Drake’s “Push Ups.” Here are a few fan reactions to Megan’s provocative lyrics:
LEVII’S JEANS: “Go tf AWF Meg!!!!!!! 🔥🔥 ‘Damn bitch it’s been 4 years, worry bout your man and your kid’ ‘And I ain’t worried bout that bitter bitch link up, y’all hoes earned them seats in the fan club’”

CY Chels: “Is Nicki Minaj now on the clock guys??? Looks like Megan thee Stallion dissed her.”
As the drama unfolds, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Nicki Minaj will take the bait and fire back at Megan Thee Stallion, further fueling the flames of their feud.
