Nicki Minaj has beef, and she lets it sizzle with “Bigfoot.”
Announced over the weekend and unleashed at the stroke of midnight, “Bigfoot” appears to be the response to Megan Thee Stallion‘s apparent diss on her just-released single “Hiss.”
Megan spits venom in the direction of Minaj on “Hiss,” on which she sinks her fangs into her husband, registered sex offender Kenneth Petty, while referencing Megan’s Law, a federal law requiring law enforcement to make information available about registered sex offenders.
“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law/ I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start/ B—h, you a p—y, never finna check me/ Every chance you get, bet your weak ass won’t address me,” the Houston rapper unloads on “Hiss,” which arrived on Friday (Jan. 26)
Minaj wasted little time in firing back. Later Friday, the Trinidadian hip-hop star previewed an unreleased track, in which she references Megan getting shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in 2020. The shooting case ended last year with the Canadian artist sent to jail.
“Bad b—h she like six foot, I call her big foot/ The b—h fell off, I said get up on your good foot,” Nicki raps on “Bigfoot”.
And at the top, she drops, “Your flow is such a bore/ Drinkin’ a bottle of Henny through a straw/ b—h, you better stop that dialog/ ‘Fore I hit Carl and buy your catalog.”
Nicky rounded on “Hiss” with a spray on social media, and waited for her moment to drop “Bigfoot” in full. “It’s been rdy for 2 days. just was tryna be cool & let her get her lil streams,” she writes on X (formerly Twitter). “Wasn’t gon say anything. But I remember how everyone kept my name in their mouth & how I said the next person mention my family gon regret it. Btw, they haven’t even heard the song. Who said it’s even a “diss”? Never even knew I had this much power.”
The Queen of Rap’s cover art features a high-heeled pink boot stepping into a much larger footprint embossed in pink concrete. If there was every any doubt of its target, the image appears alongside a close-up of Megan’s face looking distressed.
The “Bigfoot” line is, most likely, a reference to Megan’s proportions. The “WAP” singer reportedly adopted the name “stallion” in her youth on account of her height (she’s said to be 5’10”). As Minaj fired away on X, #Bigfoot became a trending topic.
In another post, Nicki hinted that she has a slate of unreleased tracks to introduce into the world. That’s in addition to Pink Friday 2, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last month, marking her third leader on the albums chart — and the most No. 1s among female rappers. She previously reigned on the tally with Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in 2012 and her debut studio set Pink Friday in 2011.
