Controversy Erupts: Nicki Minaj Faces Backlash Over Comments on Megan Thee Stallion and ‘Rihanna Moment’

Nicki Minaj has been slammed for saying rival Megan Thee Stallion was trying to have her ‘Rihanna moment’ by discussing Tory Lanez shooting her during a 2022 TV interview.

Megan, 28, who reignited her feud with Nicki, 41, courtesy of new diss track Hiss, detailed how Lanez had shot her in the foot during a CBS interview with Gayle King. The attack took place during a drunken argument after a pool party at Kylie Jenner‘s house in 2020 and Lanez currently serving 10 years in prison.

Rihanna famously appeared on ABC News in 2009 in which she broke down in tears while discussing Brown’s physical assault on her after Clive Davis‘s pre-Grammy party in February.

Nicki joined podcast host Joe Budden on Spaces on Wednesday, with the rapper accusing Megan of garnering sympathy via feuding with her to reignite her career.

She said: ‘It’s so obvious. She wanted a Rihanna moment so bad’ before adding ‘You gon google.’

‘Rihanna never would milk. You could tell she couldn’t wait to try to move on with her life. And then people even bashed her for not milking it.

‘Rihanna knows she was a superstar with or without controversy. She’s loved, with or without controversy, sympathy.’

Fans quickly took to social media to slate Nicki , with one writing: ‘Everyday I start losing more and more respect for Nicki Minaj. like beefing with Megan Thee Stallion for no clear reason is one thing but this is just gone way too far to mock her trauma online. like this is not normal behavior.

Another typed: ‘The fact that the only thing nicki can come for is megan’s trauma and her height? goes to show who the real rap queen is!! lmao nicki minaj so corny she need to go find some business and take care of her family.’

A third typed: ‘Nicki Minaj weaponizes Rihanna’s DV against Megan Thee Stallion. Saying Meg wanted a ‘Rihanna moment’ and following with this…’

Another wrote: ‘you are actually going to hell Nicki Minaj. this is actually insane and incredibly insensitive to compare Megan Thee Stallion getting shot to claiming “she wanted to have a Rihanna moment”. domestic violence is never funny to bring up or even compare.’

One fan penned: ‘Nicki Minaj, a woman who has allegedly experienced and spoken out about abuse, has now criticized Megan Thee Stallion—a Black woman—for also enduring abuse.

‘She even compared the trauma of Rihanna and Megan to make a point. It’s ironic how we’re expected to empathize with Nicki’s experiences, but when it’s about other women, it’s labeled as seeking ‘sympathy points.’ Her actions are really unhinged and disgusting, and she seriously needs an intervention.

Rapper Latto sent support to Megan in the wake of her feud, writing in a comment on an Instagram post: ‘U making us proud Meg’ – with the star responding with hearts,

This comes after Megan was slammed for bringing up ‘Megan’s Law’ in her new diss track, which ignited her recent feud with Nicki.

Richard Kanka, who championed the s~x-offender notification law named after his late daughter Megan Kanka, who was murdered in 1994, called the lyric ‘disrespectful’ as per TMZ.

In her new song ‘Hiss’, the rapper appears to take aim at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, 45, who is a registered s~x offender in New York.

‘These h**s don’t be mad at Megan,’ she rapped, referring to herself, before adding, ‘These h**s mad at Megan’s Law.’

Though many defended the lyric by pointing out that it brings awareness to the law, Kanka nonetheless finds his late daughter’s name being brought up in the expletive-filled song offensive, and is considering legal action.
