Nicki Minaj Reaches Out to Congresswoman Over Perceived Threat From TDE Affiliate

MackWop said, "Relax before you get put in the blender like your boy did." The rapper saw that as a threat.

Nicki Minaj has gotten in touch with Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna on the platform formerly known as Twitter, accusing TDE affiliate MackWop of publicly threatening her in his response to the back-and-forth between the rapper and SZA on social media.

While on a livestream, MackWop reacted to the ongoing feud, laughing at the situation before issuing a warning. "Nicki, relax," he said. "Relax before you get put in the blender like your boy did."

The TDE affiliate was almost certainly referencing the lyrical-turned-legal beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, whom he refers to as "your boy," given their ties as labelmates on Young Money Entertainment.

Minaj interpreted the remark as a threat, and tagged the FBI in her response.

The rapper tagged the FBI again in another post, demanding an investigation into MackWop. She also appears to genuinely believe that the "blender" line was an admission to a prior crime. "Which boy was put in a blender?" she asked.

Someone else speculated on X that there was some connection between the "blender" line, and a possible murder-for-hire plot. This individual tagged the FBI and Rep. Luna in their post. Nicki also reached out to the congresswoman, claiming MackWop "publicly threatened" her, while also referring to him as a "thug" whom she wants "locked up."

"Please text my cell, I will forward this to law enforcement immediately," Rep. Luna responded. "Threats of violence and assassination should be taken very seriously. Hope you’re ok, we’ll talk soon."

Following her interaction with Rep. Luna on X, Nicki directed another message to MackWop, portraying him as someone who would "talk shit then hide behind police" before demanding his incarceration again.

Minaj has since stopped talking about MackWop...for now.

In May, Rep. Luna asked California Gov. Gavin Newsom to pardon Tory Lanez due to what she believes to be "flawed evidence, political pressure, and prosecutorial bias," stemming from his conviction in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

Nicki Minaj reignited tension with SZA earlier this week by claiming she was originally asked to feature on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” instead of the TDE singer. In a post on X, Nicki said Drake wanted her and Sexyy Red on the track, but she declined to save a future collaboration with him for her own album, Pink Friday 2.

She then mocked SZA for still “shaking that ass for Drake,” adding a jab about their rumored past. Drake and SZA briefly dated in 2009, a relationship he referenced in 21 Savage’s “Mr. Right Now.”
