According to US Weekly, Nicki Minaj took to social media to announce her public disagreement with Jay-Z. Her beef with the record executive reportedly stems from their deal at Tidal, a global music streaming service that Jay-Z co-founded in 2015.

When the streaming service was founded, Minaj, who was one of the artist partners, was reportedly gifted 3 per cent in equity. However, Jay-Z sold the majority ownership of Tidal in 2021 to Jack Dorsey’s Square company for $302 million.

After Tidal was sold, Nicki wrote a tweet in September 2024 and alleged that she didn’t receive a fair deal and was only offered $1,000,000 for her share. She claimed:

“I received a call advising tidal was sold & they made no money on the deal so all they could offer me was a million dollars… The lawyer advised that Desirat advised him that I HAD TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT IN 24 HOURS IF I WANTED THE 1MM or the “offer” was off the table.”

The artist went on and doubled down on the financial dispute. On July 9, 2025, Nicki shared a tweet and wrote:

“We’ve calculated about 100-200MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It’s only collecting more interest. You still in my TOP 5 tho. Let’s get it nigga.”

According to Vice, Nicki has also directed her criticism towards Roc Nation members and its CEO, Desiree Perez, besides Jay-Z.
