Nicki Minaj brings up Drake while reigniting tension with SZA
Nicki Minaj continued her public feud with singer SZA this week, making a series of controversial remarks online, including an eyebrow-raising comment about rapper Drake. The tension between the two artists stems from Minaj's suspicion that SZA supported her former manager, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) president Terrence "Punch" Henderson, amid one of Minaj's earlier outbursts. In a now-viral tweet, shared by Akademiks TV, Minaj alleged that she was Drake's original choice to appear alongside Sexyy Red on the track 'Rich Baby Daddy' from his For All the Dogs album. 'I wonder if she know I turned down being on the 'shake dat a** for Drake' song,' Minaj wrote. 'He wanted me & Sexy on it... I said I want to wait for PF2 for me & him to do a Dricki song so it felt more special.' Nicki Minaj reveals Drake originally wanted her and Sexyy Red to be on 'Rich Baby Daddy,' but she turned the offer down, wanting her and Drake to collaborate on her album. Nicki continues violating SZA. — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) July 17, 2025 Minaj didn't hold back, further insulting SZA with an inflammatory statement. "Now that silly goose still out here shaking dat a** for Drake every day. After swallowing his b-lls. Allegedly. Oh Mza give it up," she added. Though she did not provide evidence for the claims, the comments quickly drew attention due to their graphic and personal nature. Drake and SZA previously dated briefly in 2009, as mentioned in the 21 Savage track 'Mr. Right Now,' according to Complex. SZA has not directly responded to the latest accusations but recently addressed Minaj's earlier insults, writing on X, 'I don't give a fck bout none of that weird sht you popping... Y'all have blessed night!' Minaj also directed criticism at other industry figures this week, including Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. She even contacted the FBI after interpreting comments made by TDE affiliate MackWop as a potential threat during a livestream.

50 Cent edits Father's Day post after referencing custody battle with ex Daphne Joy
On Sunday, June 15, rapper 50 Cent posted a controversial Father's Day message on Instagram that appeared to reference his ongoing custody battle with ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy. Initially, the caption included a derogatory message suggesting he would soon gain full custody of their son, Sire Jackson. However, the original caption was quickly edited, with screenshots of the unedited version circulating on X via Akademiks TV. 50 Cent responds to his son saying he wants 50 to post a photo of them for Fathers Day — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) June 15, 2025 50 Cent speaks — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) June 15, 2025 The updated caption read simply, 'Happy Fathers Day guys. What did you get?'—a notable change from the harsher original message, which included repeated insults. Many online users criticized the tone of the deleted post, while others speculated it was directed at Joy, a social media personality and OnlyFans model whom 50 Cent dated in 2011–2012. This year's Father's Day post reignited public attention on the pair's strained relationship. In March 2024, 50 Cent—born Curtis Jackson—filed for sole custody of their son, following allegations that Joy was financially involved with music mogul Diddy. Shortly after the filing, Joy accused Jackson of rape and abuse in an emotional Instagram story, stating that he had rarely seen their son despite living nearby. 'You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family,' Joy wrote, also accusing him of 'wreaking havoc' in her life. In response, Jackson filed a defamation suit, though it was reportedly dropped in September 2024.
