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.

Questions swirl around 'Arab forces' named in Netanyahu's Gaza plan

  Even if Israel managed to somehow execute its plan, “we will not change anything in the approach of Hamas,” a former Israeli general told USA NEWS DAILY Aug. 9, 2025, 5:26 AM GMT+6 By  Alexander Smith Israel’s plan to seize Gaza City and hand control of the enclave to unspecified “Arab forces” has not only drawn condemnation by Western governments and aid agencies — some former officials and experts inside Israel say it would be unworkable. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  and his security cabinet voted early on Friday for a plan to capture the city in the north of the enclave, one of the few places inside the strip that the Israeli military does not control, while distributing aid to civilians outside combat zones. The five-point plan “for concluding the war ” calls for the disarming of Hamas, the return of all hostages and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, which would be under Israeli security control. It also proposes that a governm...

The strategy reflects a broader shift among tech giants — long known for self-funding growth — as they grapple with the  soaring cost  of building and powering data centers to support generative AI. The social media giant said earlier this week that it was exploring ways to work with financial partners to co-develop data centers to help finance its  massive capital outlay  for next year. “We’re exploring ways to work with financial partners to co-develop data centers,” Meta Chief Finance Officer Susan Li said on a post-earnings conference call on Wednesday.
