On Friday, Jan. 26, artist, rapper and all-around hot girl Megan Thee Stallion released a song that, in essence, dissed some of the most prominent faces in rap, including “Drizzy” Drake and, perhaps unshockingly if you possess an X account, Nicki Minaj.

Megan’s one callout that could be drawn to Minaj isn’t even really about her but is about her husband: “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law.” 

Megan’s Law is a federal law in the U.S. of A that requires law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders. 

Minaj’s husband, Kenny Petty, is a registered sex offender. Petty pleaded guilty to raping a 16-year-old girl. The pair have a child together. You can imagine the posts. 

Minaj took Megan’s diss… hard.

For two days straight, Minaj was on and off lives, posting throughout all hours of the day and dropping some admittedly hard phrases such as, “You (Megan) are a disgusting serpent, SERPENT THOU ART LOOSE.” She could also be heard repeating the phrase, “lying on your dead momma,” several times and, my personal favorite, a word vomit that goes a bit like, “Fragment, fragment, ooh, uh, skaa, fragment foot, bullet fragment foot b*tch, bullet fragment, bullet fragment b*tch, she a bullet fragment b*tch.”

To say the least, Minaj’s behavior was worrying. The lauded “Queen of Rap” was in a tizzy, and some of her fans, the Barbz, were either abandoning ship en masse or begging for their queen to strike back, to use her silver tongue to put the Stallion in the stable for good. 

Others took matters into their own hands, doxxing people who dared to side with Megan. Allegedly, one such victim is a lawyer, so you might be able to imagine how those psycho fans will be dealt with. 

And perhaps even more shocking for those of us who’ve become desensitized to doxxing — specifically at the hands of the Barbz, seriously, not a single other fanbase has such an obsession with doxxing — Pop Crave and TMZ reported that the cemetery in which Megan’s mother is buried heightened its security after the location was leaked.

Alternatively, Hotties (Megan Thee Stallion’s fans) were salivating over the fuchsia-colored corpse that Megan had single bar-ingly handed to them on a silver platter. They proclaimed that Minaj fell off years ago, emboldened by the relative floppiness of her newest album “Pink Friday 2.” 

Perhaps the most embarrassing thing for the Barbz and their mother is that the only thing the Original Hot Girl had to say about the situation was, well, nothing. Absolutely embarrassing for Minaj. Oh, and Minaj released a song that she claimed isn’t a diss track, but in the words of Pop Base, “well what do you call it then?”

The title of Minaj’s great comeback? “Big Foot.” Yep.

The entire song is honestly very fun and did rise to No. 1 on the Apple Music charts; however, just because it’s fun doesn’t make it good. Minaj basically went after Megan with rhymes that are borderline Dr. Seuss-ian, “Bad b*tch, she like six foot, I call her Big Foot / The b*tch fell off, I said, ‘Get up on your good foot.’”

I’m sure making fun of a woman named “Thee Stallion” for being tall, and then attacking her for getting shot in the foot will prove to be evergreen insults. 

Some of the other insults included calling Megan a liar, saying she got liposuction and saying Megan can’t rap. Very elementary, schoolhouse playground-type stuff. 

And by far the funniest part of the song is when Minaj just starts a podcast at the end. In this heart-to-heart with the listeners, Minaj claims she’s got lots of secrets Megan doesn’t want to come out and that she better apologize.

You know, apologize for a bar that doesn’t even directly call out Minaj. 

Minaj allowed her own petty bitterness to knock the already slipping crown off her dome. As a now ex-barb this was both shocking and heartbreaking to watch. 

In another universe, Minaj retired gracefully and didn’t defend or marry sex offenders. And her fans aren’t freakish and annoying. But that’s not this universe, and I think that unless the threats that Minaj made (that she has five tracks waiting to be released) are just pure perfection, this is the end for her.
