Nicki Minaj v Jay-Z/Roc Nation & SZA

from Uzo Speaks · host Sarah Osondu

Nicki reignited her long-standing beef with Jay‑Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, publicly alleging she was severely short‑changed in the 2021 sale of TIDAL. She claims she received just $1 million for a 3% equity stake—far below the $100–$200 million she says she’s owed—calling it “karmic debt” and a betrayal of their artist-led platform approach. Nicki Minaj also exposed how allegedly Roc Nation were trying to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit against Meg thee Stallion and the paternity suit against Jay-Z. Nicki Minaj escalated a subtle SZA post into a full-on social media feud—insulting SZA's looks, music, and credibility — while SZA responded by leaning on her strong fan support and chart-topping success. Has Nicki Minaj further destroyed her legacy by her crashouts? I share my thoughts in this episode
