Nicki Minaj asks Florida congresswoman for help over alleged threat amid feud with SZA

Rapper Nicki Minaj reached out to Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna for help over alleged threats a DJ and streamer made in response to her social media beef with SZA.

MackWop, an associate of the record label Top Dawg Entertainment, chimed in on the feud during a livestream, telling Minaj: “Hey, Nicki, relax, relax before you get put in a blender like your boy did.” SZA is signed under TDE.

Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj-Petty, re-posted a clip of the livestream on X Thursday, writing, “Is this a threat?” She tagged the FBI in her post.

“@MackWop did you just threaten to harm me? @FBI I want this man investigated right away,” she wrote in a follow-up post.

According to Complex, MackWop could have been referring to the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, who is on the same Young Money Entertainment label as Minaj.

The “Super Bass” rapper, however, didn't take the comment lightly and made a post addressing Luna, who previously made headlines for calling for the release of rapper Tory Lanez after he was convicted of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.

“@RepLuna this man just publicly threatened me,” Minaj posted. “I’ve notified the FBI & CIA. I want this thug locked up & I’m ready to talk about everything these ppl have done to me.”

Luna said she would help Minaj.

“Can confirm, I spoke with @NICKIMINAJ directly and will be doing everything we can to ensure her safety,” the Republican congresswoman said. “We take threats of violence and assassination very seriously. RICO is also illegal. I am deeply concerned that there has been unchecked corruption within certain aspects of the rap industry. Artists should be respected and not afraid of managers, labels, etc.”


Earlier this week Minaj took a few jabs at SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, while coming after Top Dawg Entertainment founder Punch, according to Complex. In a lengthy, vulgar post on X on Thursday, Minaj claimed that she was originally asked to be featured on Drake’s song “Rich Baby Daddy” instead of SZA.

“He wanted me & sexy on it. I still have the version of just drake & sexy,” she posted, referring to rapper Sexyy Red, who is also featured on the song.

The pair continued to go back and forth with Minaj calling SZA a “clown.”

NBC News reached out to representatives for both Minaj and SZA but did not hear immediately back.

Trump paves path for private equity and crypto in retirement accounts. Here's what it means for your 401(k)

  Employers would have to decide to offer the plans — and experts anticipate many might be reluctant, as they could be held liable for losses. Aug. 10, 2025, 5:03 PM GMT+6 By  Kayla Steinberg  and  Emily Lorsch Your 401(k) options could change soon. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to clear the way for Americans to invest their retirement savings in private equity, cryptocurrency, real estate and other alternative assets. It’s a big win for the asset industry — giving financial managers access to some of the  $12.2 trillion in Americans’ 401(k) and related retirement plans . Private assets can also be more lucrative, and the Trump administration said they can give retirement savers more opportunities. “The theoretical benefits are that everyday Americans can invest in a broader menu of companies,” said Robert Brokamp, a financial planning expert at stock market research company The Motley Fool. But there are higher risks — and not ne...
