Nicki Minaj recently made headlines by referencing Beyoncé in a controversial context related to Jay-Z. Nicki alleged on her social media that Jay-Z got upset with her over a beat used in a song she did with The Weeknd on her 2018 album "Queen." She claimed Jay-Z said the beat belonged to Beyoncé, and then someone named Hoeberson laid down the beat, allowing them to take it and sue her for remaking a similar beat. This mention brought Beyoncé into a public dispute mainly focused on Jay-Z but implicating Beyoncé as well. Nicki continued to slam Jay-Z strongly but the tensions involving Beyoncé appear mostly tied to the beat issue in that collaboration context.
Nicki has also been involved in other social media spats and has a complicated relationship with the Carters, including Beyoncé, with some fans interpreting that she feels threatened or targeted by the Roc Nation camp including Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The overall tone around Nicki’s recent comments is quite confrontational, especially regarding Jay-Z, but Beyoncé is mentioned mainly in association with him and the disputed beat.
In the past, Nicki also mentioned discussions with Beyoncé during the recording of the song "Feeling Myself," during which both expressed reluctance about certain lyrics, showing some degree of professional interaction between them. However, her most recent public statements have been more charged and less friendly.
In summary, Nicki Minaj's recent remarks about Beyoncé are mostly in the context of criticism or accusations involving Jay-Z and a disputed beat, with suggestions of tension but no detailed personal feuds directly stated with Beyoncé herself.
