Overview

  • Minaj publicly renewed her claim on July 8–9 that Jay-Z owes her between $100 million and $200 million and an apology for her 3% equity stake in TIDAL.
  • She says she was previously offered only $1 million despite her stake being worth roughly $9 million under TIDAL’s 2021 sale to Square.
  • Her posts on X have prompted fan polls on whether she should switch to platforms like Kick after streamer Adin Ross offered her equity and a free-speech guarantee.
  • Minaj has pledged to channel any funds recovered into her #StudentOfTheGame charity to help cover fans’ college tuition and loan payments.
  • Jay-Z has not publicly responded to Minaj’s allegations.
