Exploring other interactions between Sabrina Carpenter and Nicki Minaj

Sabrina Carpenter gave a shoutout to Nicki Minaj on X during the release of her previous album, Short N' Sweet, in August 2024. The shoutout happened during her Billboard 200 battle with Travis Scott as both Short N' Sweet and Scott's re-release of his 2014 mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, competed head-to-head for the No. 1 spot on the chart.

this one’s for nicki

For the uninformed, Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott had a similar encounter in 2018, which resulted in Scott's Astroworld topping the Billboard 200 charts over Minaj's album, Queen. At the time, the Barbie World rapper had accused Scott of resorting to underhanded tactics to boost album sales, writing on X:

“I put my blood, sweat, and tears [into] writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling [people] to come see her and Stormi. I’m actually laughing. Queen broke the record of being No. 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus, and thank you to my fans.”

In the end, Short n' Sweet debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with Scott's mixtape following at No. 2. In September 2024, Carpenter shared a picture of a white bouquet that Nicki Minaj reportedly sent to her, captioning the Instagram Story with:

“I adore u @nickiminaj + the barbz. this is so thoughtful!!!! and these are so beautiful.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj called Sabrina Carpenter a "breath of fresh air" during her May 2025 interview with Vogue Italia. When asked to name some of her favorite new artists, the rapper replied:

“Sabrina Carpenter. I didn’t know she’d been around that long when I started listening to her. A breath of fresh air. I like Billie Eilish. I love everything she does. Then there’s a dancehall artist… his name’s Skeng.”

In other news, Sabrina Carpenter recently clarified that her new album, Man's Best Friend, was not for "any pearl clutchers" during a recent interview with CBS News' Gayle King, which aired on August 28, 2025.

The album, released on August 29, previously garnered backlash for its cover image, which featured the singer kneeling in front of a man grabbing her hair. In June 2025, she released an alternate album cover, which she dubbed "approved by God," in light of the backlash.

Carpenter has never been one to shy away from criticism. In her June cover story with Rolling Stone, she addressed the outcry she received for mimicking s*x acts during her live performances of Juno, adding that the moment went viral because people chose to obsess over it instead of other moments from her concert.
