6C. Nicki Minaj ↔ SZA
Nicki Minaj’s midsummer tweet-storm (July 15-16 2025) dragged SZA into the beef economy after Nicki accused TDE president Punch of “bullying” and interpreted SZA’s cryptic “Love & light” tweet as shade. The #NickiVsSZA hashtag shot to No. 1 worldwide as Nicki fired 15+ insults, while SZA’s measured replies doubled as promo for her Kendrick-co-headlined Grand National Tour, neatly tying this peripheral clash back to the Main Event hub. In the end, a few late-night posts added fresh eyes—and ticket buyers—to both artists without a single diss track dropping.
