The mother of all feuds.
Nicki Minaj took her rekindled feud with Megan Thee Stallion to a new level on Friday when she made a joke about the “Savage” rapper's mother, who died a few years ago.
Minaj went on Instagram Live after the 28-year-old slammed her husband of four years, Kenneth Petty, in her new song “Hiss.”
Megan's title contains the lyrics “These hoes ain't mad at Megan / These hoes ain't mad at Megan's Law,” which refers to the U.S. law that requires law enforcement to share information about registered sex offenders with the public.
The text was taken by Minaj's fans as dissident since her husband, 45, is a registered sex offender and was convicted of attempted rape.

Some fans even suspected it could be a dig at the 41-year-old “Anaconda” rapper's brother, Jelani Maraj, who was convicted of predatory sexual assault in 2017 for raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter.
After the song's release, Minaj told Megan to “call out her mother and apologize” because the lyrics were “disgusting.”

Megan previously mentioned her mother's death while accepting her 2021 Glamor Woman of the Year award, but she has yet to comment on Nicki's comments.
However, fans on social media did.
“Nicki is completely losing me, that was really disgusting of her,” one X user wrote, while another added: “I can't believe we lived through the day where Nicki became insecure and bitter.”

Minaj didn't directly say why she went after Megan's late mother, but she told her fans that her family is constantly “the focus” of criticism and she's getting tired of it.

Minaj's new attack on Megan comes shortly after Minaj – born Onika Maraj – previewed an unreleased single targeting the foot injuries Megan sustained after being shot by Tory Lanez in July 2020.
“Bad bitch, she like six feet tall / I call her Bigfoot / That bitch fell off / I said stand on your good foot,” the “Barbie World” rapper says in the song.
It's not clear when their feud began, but it was sometime after their collaboration on “Hot Girl Summer” in 2019. Instagram
In December 2022, Lanez, 31, was found guilty on all counts of shooting Megan, and a few months later he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
It's still unclear when Minaj and Megan's feud actually began, but they were on good terms in 2019 when they collaborated on her hit song “Hot Girl Summer.”
Some fans believe the friendship ended after Megan collaborated with Minaj's nemesis Cardi B on her hit single “WAP,” which was released in 2020.
