In February, Megan Thee Stallion took shots at Nicki Minaj on “HISS” — and earned her first solo Hot 100 No. 1 in the process. The record prompted the New York rapper to respond with “Big Foot.” Aside from a few subliminal shots, the two have mostly let the beef rest where it stands.
On Wednesday (Sept. 4), during an interview with Billboard, Megan shared that making amends isn’t on the table, mainly because she has no idea why they’re even feuding. She told the publication, “I still, to this day, don’t know what the problem is. I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is.”
In 2019, the artists linked up for “Hot Girl Summer,” which was RIAA-certified platinum that same year. Its accompanying visuals have over 135 million YouTube views to date, while the song itself peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100. Many speculated that Minaj fell out with Megan after her 2020 collaboration with Cardi B on “WAP.”
However, the Texas star shut down those rumors during a chat with Chicago’s 107.5 WGCI FM: “Me and Nicki, our relationship hasn’t changed since we did ‘Hot Girl Summer.' I feel like women, we really do know how to coexist, and we really do know how to not be catty. So, despite popular Internet opinion, that’s really not the case.”
Elsewhere in her Billboard cover story, Megan opened up about her self-titled LP, which was released in June. “With this album, I wanted to show people my personal interests and thoughts,” she explained. “I wanted to touch on my love for all things anime, all things Southern, how much I like to have fun, and I wanted to be myself. I feel like I did that.”
MEGAN consisted of 18 tracks, including the Yuki Chiba-assisted “Mamushi,” “Cobra,” “B.A.S.” featuring Kyle Richh and “Paper Together.” Regarding the last-mentioned track, which featured posthumous bars from UGK’s Pimp C, the Grammy Award winner stated, “To have my voice on a song with my favorite rapper ever, an unreleased verse? Motherf**kers ain’t walking around with Pimp C verses. And I got blessed with one.”
