Nicki Minaj lit up social media Thursday night (June 19) with a string of cryptic tweets aimed at JAY-Z, Roc Nation and its CEO Desiree Perez, hinting at explosive revelations and accusing the company of shady tactics.
The NYC rapper kicked things off with a vague but pointed message: “Needing the Barbz is @ an all time high for every distraction. So let me start talking about what I’ve found out. About them. Real juicy. Confirmations.”
She added the hashtag “#PaidMoles” and the phrase “Order in the court,” suggesting she was gearing up to expose what she described as behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Minaj then claimed Twitter axed the feature to see users’ liked posts, implying it was part of a broader effort to silence her.
“They don’t want you to see what I’m liking. So that feature was demolished,” she wrote before alleging surveillance tactics. “Listening devices. Cameras. Car tags. Pages you don’t follow under the ‘following’ section of X now? Hmmmmmm. Do I get paid for that?”
She tied the accusations to JAY-Z and Roc Nation by quoting her own lyrics from the “Banned From NO” remix with Lil Wayne: “NFL FIRE SOME N!GG@z & den [phone emoji].️”
Nicki Minaj Seemingly Shades Roc Nation CEO
Minaj also appeared to reference Desiree Perez’s ongoing legal issues with her daughter, Demoree Hadley, who is suing Perez for allegedly using her influence to have her falsely committed under Florida’s Baker and Marchman Acts.
In a lawsuit filed in May and obtained by NBC Miami, Hadley says she was institutionalized for nearly two weeks based on fabricated claims of drug use and domestic violence, which both she and her husband deny. Prosecutors reportedly declined to pursue charges against her husband, Javon Hadley, citing a lack of evidence.
“All sounds so familiar,” Minaj tweeted. “Trying to tear a husband away from his wife & family with lies & friends in high places. Yuck. No more distractions.”
She also reposted a user’s comment that appeared to reference Perez’s legal troubles, further fanning the flames.
Nicki Minaj has a history of calling out Perez, especially over Roc Nation’s support of Megan Thee Stallion.
Minaj has also taken issue with JAY-Z and Roc Nation’s involvement in the NFL and Super Bowl, further fueling her ongoing feud with the powerhouse label.
