For context, in an alleged tweet dating back to May 11, 2009, the female rapper asked for Jay-Z to replace Desiree Perez and get a new manager for 40/40- an American chain of lounges and sports bars owned by Hov, in Jersey. While what transpired between Nicki and Desiree at the time isn't known, the rapper mentioned in her tweet:

"I guess she (Desiree Perez) ain't know when Nicki Minaj Leave da club EVERYBODY leaves the club...sorry Ray-J"

However, Nicki, who has now deleted multiple tweets supporting the theories of X users concerning the resurfaced tweet, had posted a Chucky GIF on an X user's claim.

The X user mentioned that the alleged Nicki tweet about Jay-Z and Desiree Perez had fewer than 30 likes before it randomly showed up on everyone's feeds, adding that it was possible to set up tweets going up on certain dates, including past dates.

On the same day, Nicki wrote a lengthy tweet targeting Desiree Perez, questioning that people's "so called black savior" Jay-Z has a Hispanic CEO who was pardoned by President Trump.

In her tweet, the rapper mentioned that Trump granted a presidential pardon to Desiree Perez in 2021. Perez was charged in 1994 for drug distribution conspiracy and got 5 years' probation after cooperating with authorities. She later violated parole and served 9 months in 1999.

Calling Perez "Desirat", Nicki Minaj questioned if she wasn't a Democrat, adding that she thought Black people hated Trump supporters. Moreover, she also questioned if Jay-Z ever campaigned for former Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming that Hov has benefited from the Democratic Party.

In her series of tweets expressing her discontent with Desiree Perez and Jay-Z, Nicki accused Hov of owing her somewhere between 100-200 million in a tweet dated July 9, 2025.

The Barbie World rapper's tweet concerned her deal with Jay-Z's company, Tidal, in which Nicki reportedly held a 3% share and wasn't given its worth when the company was sold in 2021.
