AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj is well-known for her unapologetic attitude and a propensity for beef with other rappers when she's not topping music charts. Her simmering conflict with Jay-Z has come to a boil following the announcement that Kendrick Lamar, not Lil Wayne, would headline the 2025 Halftime Show in New Orleans. Minaj took to Twitter on September 9 to question Jay-Z's allegiances, hurling some scathing remarks at the hip-hop mogul. But that was just the beginning.

Just a day after her initial Twitter tirade, Minaj decided to vent more frustrations in a TikTok post by DJ Akademiks, who was covering both the Halftime Show fallout and the rumored tensions between Jay-Z and Drake. In the comment section, Minaj made some bold accusations about Jay-Z's former streaming service, Tidal. Launched with much fanfare in 2015, Tidal promised to revolutionize the streaming industry by offering a better deal for artists, and Minaj was one of many stars who signed onto the platform, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with big names like Rihanna and Madonna.

However, Minaj claimed that she never received any compensation for her involvement with Tidal. "I didn't even get one red penny," she wrote, expressing her frustration. She also took issue with the promotional efforts she had made for Tidal, arguing that she had dedicated as much time and energy as Jay-Z's own wife, Beyonce Knowles. "No one promoted it more than me outside of Beyonce," she remarked.
