SZA States No Connection to Nicki Minaj Amid Social Media Clash
Imagine two famous singers, SZA and Nicki Minaj.
One day, SZA wrote a short message on social media, maybe about how tricky it is when a certain planet, Mercury, seems to be acting up, and told people not to fall for tricks.
Nicki Minaj thought SZA was talking about her and got upset, writing some mean things back.
SZA was confused because she said her message wasn't meant for Nicki at all.
She later explained in an interview that she doesn't even know Nicki Minaj and they have no connection.
She felt it was strange that Nicki got mad.
SZA even showed that Nicki had once asked her to work on a song together before.
Even though they had this online fight, both singers are still making music and are very popular.
SZA has publicly stated that she has no connection to Nicki Minaj amidst their social media clash.
The feud began in July 2025 when Minaj perceived a cryptic tweet from SZA as a personal attack.
SZA explained in a GQ interview that her tweet was about Mercury retrograde and not directed at Minaj or anyone specific.
SZA presented evidence of past interactions, including Minaj requesting a song feature and SZA co-writing one of Minaj's songs.
Despite the online drama, both artists continue to achieve success in their music careers.
