"Anaconda" Singer Nicki Minaj Is Fueding With Lil Kim & 6 More Celebs She's Had Beef With
Nicki Minaj may have plenty of celebrity friends, but for every famous pal, it seems Minaj has feuded with one more. Her most recent battle with a fellow celebrity was over a verse in her Beyoncé collaboration "Flawless," which pissed off her longtime rival Lil' Kim. Lil' Kim took Minaj's declaration that she was the queen of rap as a direct insult, because Lil' Kim considers herself the self-appointed "Queen B." Lil Kim fired back her own verse of "Flawless" that disses Minaj and Beyoncé as payback ... this feud has officially commenced.
This incident with Lil' Kim isn't the first time Minaj made another celebrity mad. Even when Minaj isn't fueling the feud (let's be honest, that whole "Flawless" verse probably had absolutely nothing to do with Lil' Kim) the "Super Bass" singer seems to be a magnet for conflict. Check out Minaj's most famous celebrity feuds — she sure has a lot of them.
Mariah Carey
Minaj and Carey weren’t always feuding — in fact, back in February of 2010, Carey recruited Minaj to rap a verse on her song “Up Out of My Face.” The two stars first began having issues when they shared the judges’ panel on American Idol and a video surfaced of the two arguing on camera. Carey then called Barbara Walters at The View and said that she hired “extra security” just in case Minaj came after her. Since then, things have calmed down a bit — probably because the singers no longer have to share a stage.
Iggy Azalea
Both Minaj and Azalea stress that this “feud” was created by the media, and I’m pretty sure that I believe them. The media ran with the story after Minaj threw shade at rappers who didn’t write their own raps — something Azalea has been accused of in the past. Minaj cleared the air and said that she supported Azalea’s success, meaning that this feud was dead on arrival.
Devin Velez
Velez, a contestant on Season 12 of American Idol, told E! News that he believed he was eliminated because Minaj wanted a woman to win the competition. Minaj rightly fired back to his BS comment, saying that he can blame America — his potential future fans — for getting sent home.
Lil' Mama
Lil’ Mama slammed Minaj for copying her hairstyle back in 2011 (even though Minaj changes her hair on the daily) and called her out again in 2013 for not supporting her fellow female rappers. You know what really shows you don’t support other female rappers? Calling out other female rappers.
Gucci Mane
Mane went on a Twitter rant in which he claimed that he had sex with Minaj and a whole bunch of other celebrities. He later apologized and said that the rant was due to his addiction to lean. Minaj told fans on Twitter that she’d like God to strike her dead if she ever slept with “that animal.”
Lil' Kim
Lil’ Kim may be mad at Minaj for that “Flawless” verse, but this fight started much earlier than that. Lil’ Kim insists that Minaj’s early records indirectly dissed her and that Minaj is “overrated.” The feud is far from over: According to Lil’ Kim, the female rappers aren’t even open to a potential reconciliation in the future. Can’t we all just get along?
Azealia Banks
Banks is the queen of Twitter feuds, so it was only a matter of time before Minaj and Banks butted heads via the social media platform. After Banks tweeted that Minaj invited her on tour, Minaj tweeted back “#ManTheseBetchesDelirious,” which Banks saw as an attack on her previous post. Banks told Minaj that the real word she was looking for was “delusional,” which, though true, didn’t exactly help Banks’ case, either.
