In a dramatic turn on social media this week, hip‑hop superstar Nicki Minaj unleashed a fierce call-out aimed at fellow rap icon Jay‑Z, alleging that he owes her a staggering sum—somewhere between $100 million and $200 million.

Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, posting two direct messages addressing the situation. In her first post, she wrote:

“We’ve calculated about 100‑200 MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It’s only collecting more interest. You still in my TOP 5 tho. Let’s get it n***a. And anyone still calling him Hov will answer to God for the blasphemy.”

She doubled down moments later, revealing a philanthropic twist: she plans to use the funds to support her fans’ education. “I’m going to use some of the money #JayZ owes me to send some of my Barbz to college, pay their school fees & student loans via my #StudentOfTheGame charity,” she added.

Minaj’s threats of legal action or public slander are laced with an emphatic commitment: any money reclaimed will be redistributed to her devoted fanbase—affectionately known as the “Barbz”—to help them with tuition and student debt. Her mention of #StudentOfTheGame suggests she’s thinking far beyond personal grievances.

Tidal Troubles: Past Tensions Reignite

This isn’t the first time Minaj and Jay‑Z have locked horns. Earlier in the month, she amplified fan complaints on X over her partnership with Jay‑Z’s streaming platform, Tidal. Supporters claimed she was short‑changed after the service sold to Square in 2021, with Minaj reportedly receiving only a $1 million payout instead of her deserved cut. She reacted with a series of emojis to fan complaints reading: “#jayz owes Nicki Minaj money & an apology” and “#JayZ should of paid Nicki Minaj her cut of the Tidal deal”.

Her recent X rant wasn’t limited to the financial dispute. She also took jabs at Jay‑Z’s broader role in the music industry and political circles, even bringing up unresolved rumors and controversies. Yet, at its core, this latest demand—hundreds of millions and college funding for fans—signals a new and serious escalation in what has become a very public clash.
