After seeing the put up, Nicki Minaj took it as shade in the direction of her and responded with:
“Lol. Y’all keep in mind that man from TDE who saved bullying me on Twitter for no cause? Now we have the receipts. Lol. I by no means even responded to him. What was his identify once more, y’all? I’m going to provide him a nickname. Ima name him “minus 30 million” any further.”
She then made follow-up posts. One calling him out for bullying ladies and suggesting he would by no means have the identical power for a person. And one other one the place she outlined the acronym TDE as “Tiny D*** Government.”
So, how does SZA match into this? Properly, on a separate nook of X, SZA posted, “Mercury retrograde.. don’t take the bait lol foolish goose.”
Maybe shade to Nicki Minaj or possibly a reminder to herself that in astrology, when Mercury is in retrograde, it’s a time of miscommunication. An astrology follower, SZA is understood to consider in astrology and has posts that date again so far as 2015, the place she posts about Mercury Retrograde.
Nevertheless, if it’s Mercury Retrograde inflicting miscommunication points, the “Tremendous Bass” rapper took the bait.

There’s a principle on-line that almost all of Nicki Minaj’s anger with the ladies she has argued with stems from the truth that they’ve obtained a Grammy earlier than her.
