Nicki Minaj GOES OFF On Tyla For Exposing Her As a Dr*g Addict | Nicki Sends 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 To Tyla? | HO’

Nicki Minaj is once again at the center of a social-media firestorm — and this time, the fallout involves rising Afrobeats star Tyla, a viral retweet, political rants, and comments so extreme that fans are now asking whether the Queen of Rap has officially crossed a line she can’t walk back from.

What started as a single shady retweet quickly escalated into a full-blown online explosion, with Nicki accusing Tyla of being a “puppet,” dragging Jay-Z and Roc Nation into the mess (again), and unleashing language that many fans interpreted as violent threats. The internet is now split down the middle: Was Tyla hacked — or did she knowingly poke the Barbz hive? And is Nicki simply defending herself, or spiraling in real time?

Here’s how it all went down.

THE TWEET THAT LIT THE MATCH

The drama ignited after Tyla appeared to retweet a brutally harsh post that many interpreted as a direct attack on Nicki Minaj. The tweet read, in part:

“Keep that album. Delete social media. Hide yourself from the public. Just go away and never come back. You’re done. You’re too mentally insane to be in the public eye anymore.”

While Tyla did not write the tweet herself, her decision to repost it immediately raised eyebrows — especially since Nicki has been on a high-volume tweeting spree for weeks, frequently targeting industry figures, fellow artists, and even politicians.

Fans knew instantly: Nicki does not let things slide. Ever.

NICKI’S RECENT RANTS RAISED RED FLAGS

Before Tyla’s retweet even surfaced, Nicki had already been drawing criticism for a string of erratic, politically charged tweets, including controversial comments about California Governor Gavin Newsom and trans youth — statements that many found confusing, contradictory, and alarming.

In one moment, Nicki appeared to criticize Newsom harshly. In another, she oddly complimented his looks, calling him “cute,” “sexy,” and “hot,” before mocking him again. Fans were left asking: Is this satire? Obsession? Or something deeper?

Several commentators suggested that Nicki’s recent online behavior felt unfiltered, manic, and concerning — which is precisely why Tyla’s retweet struck such a nerve.

NICKI NOTICES… AND GOES NUCLEAR

It didn’t take long for Nicki to signal that she had seen the post. She tweeted:

“Looks like there’s some new scum on the timeline.”

Then came the warning:

“The problem with people who think everything is a joke is they don’t realize everyone else isn’t playing. I joke. I do NOT play.”

From that moment on, it was clear — Nicki was locked in.

ROCK NATION, JAY-Z, AND “THE PUPPET” THEORY

As expected, Nicki quickly looped Roc Nation and Jay-Z into the narrative, suggesting that Tyla was not acting independently but was instead being sent to antagonize her.

She referred to Tyla as a “puppet,” questioned who was behind her, and reignited her long-running belief that powerful industry forces are coordinating attacks against her. This paranoia-tinged narrative is nothing new — Nicki has repeatedly accused Roc Nation of orchestrating smear campaigns against her over the years.

To her supporters, it’s confirmation she’s being targeted. To critics, it’s another sign she’s losing perspective.

TYLA CLAIMS SHE WAS HACKED

Shortly after the backlash erupted, Tyla took to Instagram using Nicki’s own song “Your Love” as background music and claimed her account had been hacked.

“In trouble on the net again… everybody makes mistakes… everybody has those days. Hacked.”

But the excuse didn’t land.

Fans quickly pointed out that this was allegedly the third time this year Tyla claimed to be hacked — a defense many celebrities have used when caught liking or reposting something controversial.

The internet wasn’t buying it.

FANS TURN ON TYLA — AND EACH OTHER

Social media exploded into chaos.

Some users accused Tyla of clout-chasing, saying she intentionally stirred drama for attention and streams. Others defended her fiercely, noting that she has always shown love to Nicki, even recreating some of Nicki’s iconic looks in the past.

Supporters also raised a crucial question:

Why would a South African artist with no history of U.S. political commentary suddenly jump into American culture wars and Nicki Minaj beef?

To them, the hack story made sense.

BUT NICKI WAS NOT HEARING IT

Regardless of Tyla’s explanation, Nicki continued escalating — posting increasingly aggressive messages that many fans interpreted as calls to action.

In one alarming moment, Nicki referenced scripture while warning that those who rise against her would “lose their life,” language that instantly set off alarm bells across social media.

Critics accused her of inciting harassment, while supporters insisted she was speaking metaphorically and spiritually — not literally.

Still, the tone was unmistakable: this was not playful shade.

DEATH THREAT ALLEGATIONS SHAKE THE INTERNET

The most disturbing moment came when audio clips and tweets circulated suggesting Nicki had threatened Tyla’s life or encouraged her fanbase — the Barbz — to “handle it.”

While Nicki has not explicitly stated a direct, verifiable death threat in a legal sense, the language and implications were enough for many fans to call it reckless and dangerous.

Even some longtime Barbz admitted online:
“This is going too far.”

DRUG USE CLAIMS — FACT OR CHARACTER ASSASSINATION?

As the drama spiraled, some fans and commentators began openly questioning Nicki’s mental health and sobriety, speculating that her behavior resembled someone under the influence.

Important distinction:
There is no verified evidence that Nicki Minaj is a drug addict.

These claims exist purely as online speculation, fueled by her erratic posting patterns, extreme language, and prolonged rants. Still, the conversation itself has added fuel to the controversy — and Nicki’s silence on that specific accusation has only amplified the chatter.

A PATTERN WITH FEMALE ARTISTS

This isn’t the first time Nicki has found herself in explosive conflict with another woman in the industry.

From Cardi B to Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki’s feuds often follow a familiar trajectory: perceived disrespect, public retaliation, fan mobilization, and total chaos.

Critics argue that Nicki consistently positions herself as the victim while escalating situations beyond repair. Supporters say she’s simply refusing to be bullied by an industry that never truly embraced her power.

WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE TYLA?

For now, Tyla has gone quiet — reportedly focused on touring and avoiding further escalation. Her PR team has not issued additional statements, and she has not directly responded to Nicki’s latest outbursts.

Industry insiders suggest distancing herself may be the smartest move.

FINAL THOUGHTS: DEFENSE OR SELF-DESTRUCTION?

At this point, the situation feels less like typical celebrity beef and more like a public meltdown unfolding in real time.

Is Nicki Minaj protecting her legacy — or sabotaging it?

Is Tyla a clout-chaser — or collateral damage?

One thing is certain:
This drama is far from over.

And if history tells us anything, when Nicki Minaj goes this hard, the aftermath is never quiet — and never clean.

Buckle up.
