SZA Says She Has No Ties to Nicki Minaj in New GQ Interview

She frames the summer exchange as an industry narrative rather than a personal feud.

Overview

  • Minaj targeted SZA on X in July with insults including calling her a “hater” and telling her to “go draw your freckles back on,” according to coverage of the posts.
  • SZA countered by sharing screenshots she said showed Minaj previously reaching out for a collaboration and feature requests.
  • Reports situate the flare-up within Minaj’s broader criticisms of TDE leadership and figures linked to Roc Nation.
  • Cardi B later weighed in on social media, defending SZA and criticizing Minaj’s pattern of conflicts.
  • SZA tells GQ she is focused on her health, family and making new music rather than extending the dispute.
