SZA And Nicki Minaj Fight On Twitter
The drama started yesterday when SZA posted a tweet that Nicki appeared to interpret as shade. At the time, she had been tweeting about Terrence "Punch" Henderson, the president of SZA's label, TDE, whom she claimed "bullied" her after she "rejected his business proposition."
For reference, SZA is currently on the Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar.
SZA then tried to move on from the drama, writing, "LMAO lemme go back to being calm shy and meek . Yall have blessed night ! See you tomorrow for night 2 Paris !! ❤️🫶" But Nicki continued to tweet her, telling her, "Shutup ugly." She also proceeded to body-shame her and take aim at her music career.
"Wait. Does Sza think she's more successful than me?" Nicki wrote after SZA reacted to an unrelated post about SOS nearing diamond certification. "Lol yall catch me up pls."
"Sza if every song you've ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn't even miss you," she continued. "I've been to countries that never heard of you. I know you're not THAT stupid are you? Stadiums? Did you look at the venues I played on my OWN headlined FESTIVAL tour out of the country last year? Bitch have you ever headlined to 80K ppl? Btch what have you ever done besides yodel with auto tune that needed retuning?"
"Boo im an icon. You're not. The end," Nicki stated, despite SZA's glowing track record, which includes multiple Grammys, two mega successful albums, and two No. 1-charting hits, "Kill Bill" and "Luther." Her CTRL album spent 422 weeks on the Billboard 200, while SOS spent 135 weeks on the chart and broke a record previously held by Michael Jackson's Thriller.
But Nicki didn't stop there. She also questioned, "Why didn't u speak up when your exec was bullying & harassing me ya dirty mangy cunt? These botted numbers on all platforms have yall losing yall mother fkng minds. You the type that would've been quiet in school trying to fit in. You still have no clue who you are! I know you went nights w/o washing that musty face. Btch how u remember exactly where every freckle go?"
At that point, she was basically talking to herself, because SZA didn't publicly respond to any of those tweets. But as you can see, fans had a lot to say about the drama:
When The Breakfast Club host Loren Lorosa asked him about the origins of the drama, Punch claimed everything began in 2020 when Nicki allegedly contacted him for a SZA feature. Loren said, "He responded and told Nicki Minaj that SZA was in album mode heavy and that he would get it over to her, and that was it. They never spoke again. [The] feature didn't happen, but he says he's lost after that as well." So far, Nicki hasn't publicly responded to his claims, but we've reached out for comment.

Martin Garrix On New Single ‘Sleepless Nights,' Lollapalooza Set
As Lollapalooza celebrates 20 years as a destination festival in Chicago, Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix helped wrap up this year's installment, closing out Perry's stage opposite performances from fellow headliners Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP Rocky. Prior to his performance last weekend on the final day of Lollapalooza 2025, Garrix performed on stage at the downtown Chicago festival in 2014 and 2016 in addition to sets at Lollapalooza Berlin, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paris over the course of the last ten years, fully leveraging arguably the strongest global brand in the festival realm. The Forbes 30 Under 30 alum was also named one of the world's highest paid DJs in 2019 and celebrates today's release of his latest single 'Sleepless Nights," his first trance track and a collaboration with DJ/producer Armin van Buuren and singer Libby Whitehouse. 'I'm excited to play it tonight,' said Garrix backstage Sunday of his latest single prior to his Lollapalooza set in Chicago, where he kayaked the Chicago River earlier in the day. 'It's my first trance song ever. My first song at 138bpm," he explained. 'It was super fun. I love Armin. I've known him since forever. So, it was just a matter of time until we ended up doing a song together,' said Garrix of the duo's first ever collaboration. "And Libby was incredible. She came to Amsterdam with both Armin and I. We recorded with her in the studio. We wrote the bridge together. And just the whole song has been fun.' I spoke with Martin Garrix about returning to Lollapalooza, what he takes as an artist from the collaborative process and philanthropic efforts aimed at helping children during tumultuous times. A transcript of our conversation at Lollapalooza, lightly edited for length and clarity, follows below. Jim Ryan: How's your weekend been so far? Martin Garrix: It's been good. I played Ibiza Thursday night. Friday night and Saturday was Las Vegas. And then today in Chicago. Tonight, I fly right after the show to Utah. Ryan: Obviously, you're no stranger to Lollapalooza. Any fond moments that stick out over the years? Garrix: I remember just the first time coming here. I think it was 2014. And I was just mindblown by the size of the festival - by the energy, by the crowds. And just the skyline. What I remember the most is that I walked on stage and it felt so surreal. You've got the crowd of people and then the skyline in the back. Really special. Ryan: You arrive here set to play in front of another immense festival crowd. In a situation like that, do you tweak the performance or the presentation in order to connect with the larger crowd like that? Garrix: I'm just gonna go with the flow from the crowd. I know my first three songs. I'll do those with confidence so I don't have to think too much about the first three. And after that, I'll figure it out. Ryan: The 'Sleepless Nights' single is [now available]. What was it like collaborating with Armin Van Buren and Libby Whitehouse on that track? Garrix: It was super fun. I love Armin. I've known him since forever. So, it was just a matter of time until we ended up doing a song together. And Libby was incredible. She came to Amsterdam with both Armin and I. We recorded with her in the studio. We wrote the bridge together. And just the whole song has been fun. It's my first trance song ever. My first song at 138bpm. So, I'm excited to play it tonight. Ryan: In addition to 'Sleepless Nights,' you worked recently with Lauv on 'Mad' and with AFROJACK, David Guetta and Amél on 'Our Time.' As an artist, what are you able to take from that collaborative process? Garrix: Any collaboration, I'm learning so much from the people that I collaborate with - from the production point of view or the songwriting point of view. Some artists that I've worked with have a completely different approach to songwriting and production. So, it's always cool to meet in the middle. And, for me, it's also to get out of my comfort zone. And, by being out of my comfort zone, learning a lot. I love collaborating. Ryan: Obviously, these days I think you have to pay a little different level of attention to the business side in a way that maybe artists haven't had to historically. When it comes to branding and authenticity, how do you kind of approach the business side of what you do? Garrix: So, with the business side, I luckily have an incredible team in my corner who basically make sure that from the branding side to the business side, it's good. I will double check everything to make sure that I fully agree with everything. But they basically keep me just focused on the music and on the shows. And, of course, if it's like artwork or an album cover, we sit together, put our brains together and brainstorm. But, for all of the more boring business stuff, I'm in the loop and I'm in the know on everything with every decision we make - but I do like to focus more on the music and on the creative. Ryan: I was reading earlier about the work you've done with War Child and S.O.S. Children's Villages. Especially during crazy times like these, how important is it to be involved philanthropically like that and give back in that way? Garrix: I feel like any artist, or anybody with a following in general - when they have a position where they can inspire people and help people - I think to use that platform not only for shows but if you can also use it for good to help people and make an impact, I think that's crucial. It's very important. Most of the charity work that I do is for kids. Because I just think they deserve the world. And the world is sometimes a bit crazy. Especially now.

"A Truly Vile Song": 11 Songs People Think Are "The Worst Of All Time," And One That Caused A Debate For Being Included
It's already August, and I think it's safe to say that, unlike Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" last year, there is no defining hit of summer 2025 thus far. That is, unless you count the "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!" song, I guess. Twitter: @RACH4_theSTARZ It's not an exaggeration to say that Twitter (now X) is a bit of a flaming dumpster fire sometimes, so I've taken it upon myself to bring you the Discourse of The Week™️ myself. This time, everyone is fighting over which song(s) are "the worst of all time." Here are 11 of the most popularly-hated songs (and one absolutely beloved song). I'm genuinely curious if you agree. up, the clip that started it all — "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Here are some of its lyrics: Related: 2."Dance Monkey" by Tones and I. A hundred thousand people liked this post calling it "the closest thing to an objectively dogshit song." Here are some of its lyrics: 3."All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor got 67,000 likes. Here are some of its lyrics: 4."Rude" by MAGIC! got 74,000 likes. Here are some of its lyrics: Related: 5."Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond Here are some of its lyrics: 6."Cheerleader" by OMI Here are some of its lyrics: 7."Anxiety" by Doechii Related: Here are some of its lyrics: 8."The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" by Ylvis Here are some of its lyrics: 9."Tag, You're It" by Melanie Martinez Here are some of its lyrics: 10."All Summer Long" by Kid Rock Here are some of its lyrics: Related: 11."Hey, Soul Sister" by Train Here are some of its lyrics: finally, there was one song that was tossed into the mix, but Twitter users ended the conversation around it FAST. It was, of course, "Hey Ya!" by OutKast. People DO NOT play about that song. So, do you agree? Here are some of its lyrics: Are there any "worst songs ever" we missed? Or do you wholeheartedly believe one of these does not deserve such a title? Give us your hot takes in the comments below! Also in Internet Finds: Also in Internet Finds: Also in Internet Finds:
