By Heather Cichowski | May 28, 2019
There is no shortage of beef in Hollywood. It seems like every time we turn our backs for a second, there is new drama bubbling up. The fights often start on social media or in interviews, but sometimes they start face-to-face in a public setting. #Drama No celebrity is immune to getting caught up in the fighting, but it seems like some are involved more than others. Nicki Minaj is one celebrity who doesn't shy away from it. And there are quite a few celebrities who don't get along with Nicki Minaj.
There are some infamous feuds involving the "Chun Li" rapper. There are others that you might have been following at the time, but have since forgotten about because there has been plenty of fresh hate to keep up with. We're here to remind you of it all. It would be nice if everyone could just get along, but we're not holding our breath. Take a look at 16 celebrities who don't get along with Nicki Minaj. Drama is coming.

This has to be the fight that pops into your mind as soon as you hear "Nicki Minaj" and "beef." It is one of the most recent compared to others on the list, it is pretty high profile, and it involved two of the biggest female rappers in the game. The whole thing has more drama than an episode of Game of Thrones. (RIP) Things are rumored to have started in summer 2017. Cardi B released "Bodak Yellow" earlier that year and smashed records. Nicki was originally congratulatory, but then diss tracks started between the two of them. See Nick's rhyme, "Lil' b*tch I heard these labels tryna make another me/Everything you getting little h** is cause of me" in "No Flags." Each rapper denied the feud, but things got worse. It was thought Cardi insinuated Nicki blocked her on Twitter. During Fashion Week in September 2018, things reached new levels of drama when Cardi left a party with what looked like a bruise on her face and no shoes. It was reported that she and Nicki came to blows after Nicki reportedly insulted the "Please Me" rapper's daughter then-eight-month-old Kulture. OMG.
Lil' Kim is another one of the celebrities who don't get along with Nicki Minaj. It would be nice if all the female rappers got along and supported each other, but that sadly never seems to happen for very long. Lil' Kim criticized Nicki early on her career, saying that she essentially ripped off her sound and look. In 2009, they both rapped on a Birdman song, "Grindin' Making Money," but it's thought neither one knew about the other's involvement which is why there appeared to be some shady verses. The drama has continued with everyone from Drake to Beyoncé getting involved over the years. In summer 2018, Lil' Kim claimed not to know Nicki and showed love for Cardi B.
Here we go again, folks. At the 2014 BET Awards, Nicki seemingly insulted Iggy Azalea in her acceptance speech and insinuated she used a ghostwriter for her hit "Fancy." ("When you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it...") Although, she backtracked on Twitter and said the "media is always putting words in her mouth" and claimed she had congratulated the Australian native. Iggy said she was "exhausted" by everything. Interestingly, the "Black Widow" rapper appeared to side with Nicki in her feud with designer Steve Madden. In a now-deleted tweet, she called the shoe designer a f*ck boy and revealed he did some "sidebar sh*t."
It didn't matter that Nicki and Cardi once appeared together on Migos's track "Motorsport." A lot of people ended up taking sides in the massive Cardi B versus Nicki Minaj war. Given that Migos performer Offset is the father of Cardi B's daughter Kulture, you know what side he defended. In the midst of all the barbs between Nicki and Cardi, Offset posted a message on Instagram Stories which read, "N*ggas should stay in they lane [sic] I don't play fair." Many assumed the shade was being thrown and Nicki. As for the other two members of Migos, Nicki called them all out in April 2018 when she said no one backed her up about a scheduling conflict preventing her from filming the "Motorsport" video with Cardi and Migos. It fueled feud rumors. "When it was time to clear the air about that, no one did that," the rapper said to Rolling Stone. "All of them allowed me to look like I lied."

Travis Scott also has his name on the long list of Nicki Minaj feuds. Their beef appears to have started when his album, Astroworld, hit the number-one spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart. (Nicki's album, Queen, was released a week after the hip hop musician's.) She called out the "SICKO MODE" singer for using his relationship with Kylie Jenner to boost his sales and for somehow having merchandise sales count as album sales. "I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi," Nicki tweeted. "lol. I'm actually laughing..." For his part, Travis finished his performance at the 2018 VMAs saying, "Astroworld, No. 1 right now!"

Taylor Swift is dragged into this, too? The "ME!" singer has a massive squad, but she has had to deal with some hate. In 2015, Nicki didn't receive a nomination for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards — but T.Swift did. Nicki took to Twitter to speak out about it. It's important to note that the "Super Bass" rapper never mentioned Taylor explicitly. She said, "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year." Taylor wasn't cool and they got into a heated exchange about putting women against each other. Apologies were made and they even performed with each other at the show. But, Nicki did later collaborate with Taylor's known frenemy Katy Perry on "Swish Swish"...

As we can see by now it's not just rappers that have trouble keeping the peace with the "Starships" rapper. Mariah Carey, like Nicki, loves a good celebrity feud — so it's not a huge surprise these two songstresses can't get along. Some will likely remember the drama on American Idol when they were both judges in 2012. Some said that there were problems from the first day of filming, despite the two once getting along. Things took a bad turn when they were recorded arguing (and cursing) during an audition round. Interestingly, they both announced they were leaving the show in 2013 on the same day.
Miley Cyrus typically generates controversy with her NSFW photo captions or her wardrobe choices. She found herself in some hot water hosting the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards and getting caught up in the Taylor-Nicki drama. Before the awards, Miley appeared to side with Taylor in a New York Times interview. She talked about how Nicki could have had a better approach about her tweeting about the nominations and said "What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind." When Nicki won at the awards show, she called Miley out on the stage. "Now, back to this b*tch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good?!" Awkward. Miley tried to say interview quotes can be misinterpreted, but Nicki didn't let it die. She continued to talk about the feud in an interview — ironically in the New York Times.

You might be so caught up in the drama between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B (plus other people) that you forgot about the "Anaconda" rapper's longstanding feud with Remy Ma. The beef goes back over a decade with diss tracks and verses being dropped from both parties. In 2007, Rema Ma released her first studio album on which she declared she was the "queen of rap." A few months later Nicki dropped Playtime Is Over with the track "Dirty Money." Many assume the verse "Tell that b*tch with the crown to run it like Chris Brown / She won three rounds, I'mma need a hundred thou/Oh, y'all ain't know? Bet y'all b*thes know now" is about Remy. It has been back and forth like that for 10+ years. In 2017, Nicki opened up about responding to Remy after three months and said "queens don't move on peasant time." She never named names, but said she would "give you half a million dollars if you can book ANY show or interview without mentioning the Queen name."
We knew that the Kylie Cosmetics founder had to be on here given that she ended up involved in the Travis Scott drama by association. The whole Nicki Minaj versus Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner debacle happened right before the 2018 VMAs. It's reported the couple was supposed to sit almost right behind the Queen rhyme buster, but got moved. However, that didn't stop a very awkward red carpet run-in. It's clear the stars tried to avoid each other, but Nicki came to almost passing Kylie on the red carpet. TMZ shared a video of Kylie pulling a quick U-turn, saying something to her team, before going over to fans. Nicki tried to remedy the situation and said she respected Kylie for standing by her man and called the video "entertainment" and Kylie "cute."

If you're going to go against Nicki Minaj, you better be prepared. It all started innocently enough when Nicki reportedly went on Power 105.1 to talk to DJ Clue about her Queen album. Love & Hip Hop's DJ Self has the slot after the American DJ and supposedly tried to talk to Nicki about Cardi B off the air. When she didn't go along with it, he followed up on the radio asking which female rapper had the best album. Nicki wasn't going to take it and called him out on social media saying DJ Self was bitter because she "refused to give him a hug or drop." Things escalated with Nicki warning the DJ she could reveal the rumor the reality TV star allegedly told to her about Cardi. DJ tried to dismiss it saying Nicki had issues with him over his friendships and that he only talked to her when she had things to promote. Nicki wasn't having any of it.
And things keep getting more complicated. Despite Nicki and Ariana Grande collaborating on "Side to Side," "Bed," "Bang Bang," and more there have been rumors that the two singers were feuding. After the Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, and Kylie Jenner dramz, Ariana dropped her Sweetener album, which did end up taking the number-one spot on the charts. Oh no. (Don't forget Nicki and Travis's beef over their albums which came out the same month.) On top of that, Nicki raps in "Bust Down Barbiana," "Killing everybody beat, thank u, next Ariana." People thought the line was a dig. Both performers have claimed on Twitter there's no bad blood, but only time will tell for sure... They're typically each other's biggest supporters.

Hate involving Rihanna? Is it for real? Yup. It has been rumored for a while that the Fenty Beauty founder and Nicki Minaj had problems. They both attended the 2017 Met Gala and Nicki posted what turned out to be a fake list created by a fan of the Best Dressed lists she topped. When people called on the rapper to fact check the post and delete it, she did. Around the same time, Rihanna posted her round-up of places where she was crowned Best Dressed. The distinction was her list was real. The Barbadian singer simply captioned the post "casual" but people thought she was subtly shading Nicki. For what it's worth, RiRi unfollowed Cardi B after her epic beef with Nicki, so perhaps this one could be repaired? Well, it was reported that the "Diamonds" singer unfollowed Nicki before...

Yup, even former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham has gotten involved in the Nicki Minaj beef. The feud between the two ladies goes back to 2016 when the "Bang Bang" rapper tweeted, "Farrah is a c*nt to her mother." She continued Farah should "be happy" her mom was helping with her baby. Unsurprisingly, Farrah responded on social media. "To be clear my mom doesn't help me I help her. I love & care for my mom. Stop disgusting talk," the reality star wrote and added Nicki's videos "look like porn." Then Farrah's daughter, Sophia, called Nicki a loser in a video on Twitter. Hmmm....
You might not have thought that "pretty on fleek" would result in drama, but it did. Take a look at what happened with Christina Milian and Nicki. Christina used the viral phrase as part of her clothing line in 2015. Nicki appeared to throw shade on Instagram saying, "Fleek by Onika - I saw Christina sellin tshirts that say Pretty On Fleek. I was waitin on my percentage at the door! *tilts head*" (Nicki insinuated "on fleek" was her phrase after using it in "Feeling Myself.") Some questions over Twitter and Nicki saying it was a joke prevented things from getting too out of hand. But, it shows the singer-actress became one of the celebrities who don't get along with Nicki Minaj.
Not even the Met Gala can prevent drama from starting. At the 2016 event, Demi Lovato and Nicki Minaj both wore Moschino and went with designer Jeremy Scott. Nicki reportedly shared an Instagram photo from the bash, but failed to mention Demi in it. The "Échame la Culpa" singer left the party early — and shared a side eye photo on Instagram featuring Nicki. Demi later admitted that she exited early to attend an AA meeting and said in a Billboard interview, "I had a terrible experience... This one celebrity was a complete b*tch and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey." Many assumed the celeb in question was Nicki.
