Nicki Minaj called on Jay-Z to pay up during a rant on X, formerly Twitter.
After weeks of shading the rapper and media mogul, on Tuesday (July 8), Minaj continued her recent claims that Jay-Z owed her millions of dollars for her stake in Tidal.
Upon launching the music platform in 2015, fifteen artists, including Nicki, Beyoncé, Rihanna, J. Cole and Ye, were gifted three percent Tidal equity when it was worth $56 million. In 2021, Tidal was sold to the Jack Dorsey-owned Square for $302 million. Minaj and the other celebrity owners reportedly kept their stake after the sale. The rapper has said that she was offered $1 million for her share of the company — not the around $9 million (3 percent of $300 million) that would come if the company was valued at the price of the Square sale.
On X, Minaj alleged that her "Monster" collaborator now owes her an amount nearing the entire price of the sale.
"We’ve calculated about 100-200MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It’s only collecting more interest," she wrote.
Minaj added that the rapper remains among her favorites. "You still in my TOP 5 tho. Let’s get it n***a," she continued.
The Pink Friday 2 artist concluded by saying that fans who call Jay-Z "Hov" must "answer to God for the blasphemy."
Minaj reposted Barbz who backed her. She also said that she'd use the money she claims is owed to her "to send some of my Barbz to college, pay their school fees & student loans via my #StudentOfTheGame charity."
Minaj's tirade against Jay-Z's Roc Nation company continued on Thursday with insults aimed at Roc Nation artist Megan Thee Stallion. Minaj's digs centered around a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against the H-town rapper.
