Nicki Minaj Warns YouTube Executive Lyor Cohen: “Don’t Play With Me”

The embattled MC insists an alleged industry-wide conspiracy is trying to take her down.

Nicki Minaj’s week-long rampage against her perceived enemies continues. After dissing Megan Thee Stallion on her poorly-received “Big Foot” record, Minaj also had words for Lyor Cohen.

Joe Budden hosted an X Spaces on Wednesday (January 31). Nicki Minaj joined the public conversation which mostly focused on her issues with Megan Thee Stallion. At one point, Minaj addressed the Global Head of Music at YouTube.

“We have screenshots of the YouTube bots. It’s crazy,” Nicki Minaj claimed. The Pink Friday 2 album creator likely referred to the countless negative comments under the YouTube audio version for “Big Foot.” She did not provide evidence to support her accusation.

Minaj also stated, “Lyor, you better not… Lyor, don’t play with me, n####. I hope you ain’t around that company no more right now.” In addition, the 41-year-old rap star also pushed unsubstantiated theories that mass YouTube, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok accounts conspired against her.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” Is Outcharting Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot” On Streaming Platforms

“Big Foot” quickly fell down the daily streaming rankings. Nicki Minaj’s diss record directed at Megan The Stallion has already slipped to No. 6 on Apple Music’s Top 100: USA chart. Plus, the song dropped 46 spots to No. 69 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart.

Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” remains at No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top 100: USA chart and at No. 1 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart. The song also climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes all-genre chart. Four other versions of the record sit in the iTunes chart’s Top 6.

“Hiss” is on pace to debut in the Top 5 of next week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart. The LilJuMadeDaBeat-produced single kicked off the most recent round in the Megan Thee Stallion versus Nicki Minaj feud. The “these hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law” line triggered Minaj’s now-six-day tirade on social media.
