Nicki Minaj Refutes Rumors She Dissed Beyonce As An “Absolute Lie”

Nicki Minaj has refuted the rumors that she intended to diss Beyonce by tweeting and deleting the phrase, “Robot on timing.” When a theory about the meaning of their alleged post began to spread, Minaj took to the comments section of an Instagram post to write: “This is an absolute lie.” 

Regardless of Nicki’s clarification, fans weren’t buying that all is well between her and Beyonce as she’s continuously criticized JAY-Z on social media in recent weeks. “I still can’t figure out how ya maintain a genuine friendship with somebody who very openly hates your spouse,” one user commented. “Like how does that work? Cuz if u say something about her husband, it’s up.” Another wrote: “When you speak on somebody husband I hope you know his wife will never deal with you again. I know I wouldn’t and I would tell you to take that up with me since you female as well!”

As for Nicki’s criticism of JAY-Z, she’s been unhappy with the role he played in selecting Kendrick Lamar to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. With the game being in New Orleans, she wanted the NFL to choose the hometown artist and her longtime collaborator, Lil Wayne. In an initial post on the matter, Minaj wrote: “Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out. A white man.
