On August 29, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion was reportedly shot in the foot by Tory Lanez after leaving Kylie Jenner&rsquo;s party in Hollywood Hills. Tory Lanez would be charged with assault and stand trial in 2022. Tory Lanez was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison in August 2023.&nbsp;
In the past, 50 Cent and Drake have shared similar sentiments to Fivio on the shooting incident publicly.&nbsp;
Fans shared Fivio's past support for Tory Lanez after he spoke about the situation. On Jan.29, Fivio tweeted on X with a lock emoji, &ldquo;Free Tory.&rdquo;

Megan Thee Stallion's shooting situation resurfaced last week during her <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/megan-thee-stallion-vs-nicki-minaj-the-complete-timeline-and-who-won">feud with Nicki Minaj</a>. While promoting her response track, &ldquo;BigFoot,&rdquo; Minaj said that Megan lied about being shot.

Despite appearing as best friends on the hit song "Hot Girl Summer" in 2019, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion would become the biggest feud in hip-hop in 2024. There may be a deep-rooted issue between these two that extends much longer than a month, as evidenced by this beef.
Within one week, these two have become a trending topic, climbed the charts, generated record-breaking numbers, uncovered other women's hip-hop feuds, and more. Megan and Nicki's feud is a game-changer that the world has obsessed over since the first preview on January 25.
There are different stories about the feud's origin and who won between the two. As the final numbers continue to tally, speculations arise on whether Nicki Minaj is still the queen and if Megan's "HISS" is better than "BigFoot." How far will this go?
&nbsp;This article examines how these two go from making a #1 hit to feuding to competing for this week's top hip-hop song.
&nbsp;
Who Is Nicki Minaj
In 2007, Nicki Minaj burst out of Jamacia Queens, New York, by way of Trinidad and Tobago, into hip-hop with her salacious street rhymes and debut mixtape, Playtime Is Over. She became a global superstar in 2010 with her record-breaking debut album, Pink Friday, and revered as the &ldquo;Queen of Rap&rdquo; by 2014 on her third &ndash; and self-proclaimed favorite &ndash; album, The Pink Print. Today's female hip-hop landscape is influenced by Nicki's accolades, image, and revolution, with superstars like <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/doja-cat-addresses-claims-that-shes-a-satanist">Doja Cat</a>, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/ice-spice-announces-her-debut-album-y2k-coming-in-2024">Ice Spice</a>, and <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/hot-97s-top-22-songs-of-2022">Billie Eillish</a> claiming her star power as a major inspiration.
After a five-year hiatus, her new album, Pink Friday 2, proved her reign continues as it debuted at #1, was the female rap album with the highest number of songs to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 with 17 out of the 22 songs charting, and achieved gold-selling status with over 500,000 units sold two days after it&rsquo;s release in December 2023. According to Chart Data, the new album sold over <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minajs-pink-friday-2-reportedly-sells-over-one-million-units">one million copies</a> equivalently as of January 2023.&nbsp;
Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice&rsquo;s collaboration &ldquo;Barbie World&rdquo; was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 2024 Grammys.
&nbsp;
Who Is Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion&rsquo;s debut song, &ldquo;Like A Stallion,&rdquo; came out in 2016; however, she wasn't able to reach mainstream fame until 2018 with her EP Tina Snow, which included &ldquo;Big Ol&rsquo; Freak,&rdquo; &ldquo;Hot Girl,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Make A Bag.&rdquo; She rose to prominence in 2019 with her undeniable sex appeal, empowering lyrics, scene-stealing features, and viral songs, including &ldquo;Hot Girl Summer&rdquo; and &ldquo;Savage.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Megan is best known for her collaborations with <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/beyonce-celebrates-renaissance-a-film-going-number-one-sends-heartfelt">Beyonce</a> on the &ldquo;Saveage Remix,&rdquo; <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/wale-ft-major-lazer-wizkid-dua-lipa-my-love-video">Dua Lipa</a> on &ldquo;Sweetest Pie,&rdquo; and <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/cardi-b-announces-new-limited-edition-strawberry-whipshots-for-valentines">Cardi B</a> on &ldquo;WAP.&rdquo; In 2021, she won two Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.&nbsp;
She released two full-length projects, Good News in 2020 and Traumazine in 2022. In 2019, Roc Nation signed a management deal with her.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
How The Feud Began
The ongoing feud between Nicki Minaj and rival Cardi B has forced women in hip-hop to choose sides since they made their beef public in an altercation at the <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minaj-just-announced-new-album-queen-at-met-gala-video">2018 Met Gala</a>. Megan was one of the women affected by the beef as she worked with both artists.&nbsp;
Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion's relationship was in great shape before August 2020. The two collaborated, hosting Instagram Live sessions and speaking highly of each other in the press.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Nicki Minaj unfollowed Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram in January 2021. In 2023, speculation of issues between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion arose behind Nicki&rsquo;s verse on &ldquo;Red Ruby Da Sleeze,&rdquo; referencing horses synonymous with Megan. Nicky raps, ​​&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t f &ndash; &ndash; k with horses since Christopher Reeves.&rdquo;
&nbsp;&ldquo;Red Ruby Da Sleeze&rdquo; appears to mark the official ignition of the feud. While subliminal, it was the first time that either woman referenced one another in a song.&nbsp;
&nbsp;The feud would cease fire while Megan Thee Stallion endured the <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/tory-lanez-legal-teams-reportedly-makes-2nd-attempt-at-bail">Tory Lanez trial</a> in 2022 and 2023.&nbsp;
&nbsp;After years of suspicion, their grudge became public in January with the release of &ldquo;HISS&rdquo; and &ldquo;BigFoot.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
HISS
&nbsp;After previewing the track on January 25, Megan released her anticipated track, &ldquo;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/megan-thee-stallion-spits-venom-at-nicki-minaj-and-others-in-new-single-hiss">HISS</a>&rdquo; on January 26. Along with Nicki, Thee Stallion injected venom in other enemies such as Drake, DaBaby, Tory Lanez, and ex-boyfriend Pradison Fontaine. It was Nicki&rsquo;s husband who received the worst of the track, with Megan rapping about his history of sexual assault.&nbsp;
&nbsp;&ldquo;These hoes don&rsquo;t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan&rsquo;s Law,&rdquo; raps Megan in the standout verse. &nbsp;
Megan&rsquo;s Law is the federal law that makes registered sex offender's information available to the public. Minaj&rsquo;s husband, Kenneth Petty, was convicted of attempted rape in 1995 and received a three-year probation sentence in July 2022 after failing to register as a sex offender in California in 2020.
The Megan&rsquo;s Law line amused her fans but not the family. The family of the law expressed displeasure with Megan's use of their daughter&rsquo;s name in profanity.&nbsp;
The song sparked a 72-hour Instagram Live session by Nicki Minaj as she prepared for her response. &ldquo;HISS&rdquo; is set to appear on Megan&rsquo;s third studio album, Corba, coming in 2024.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
https://youtu.be/XVgCLQ_JQfU?si=wRF9CyczwN2YGQ9j
&nbsp;
BigFoot
&nbsp;Nicki released &ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; three days after &ldquo;HISS.&rdquo; The producer did not clear the original beat. Minaj clarified that the song was not a &ldquo;diss track&rdquo; but a &ldquo;response track.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&nbsp;The response addressed Megan&rsquo;s love life, shooting, mother, and rap skills. Nicki flipped the Megan&rsquo;s Law line with producers who could sleep with Thee Stallion in exchange for free beats. &ldquo;Megan&rsquo;s law. For a free beat, you could hit #MeganRAW,&rdquo; raps Minaj.&nbsp;
Nicki would refer to Megan&rsquo;s shooting with the line, &ldquo;The bitch fell off, I said, &lsquo;Get up on your good foot.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; is the biggest female rap debut of 2024 on Spotify.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<a href="https://x.com/chartdata/status/1752099219395981733?s=20">https://x.com/chartdata/status/1752099219395981733?s=20</a>
&nbsp;
Nicki Minaj's taunts towards Megan in 2024 centered on the shooting incident and trial. Tory Lanez was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison in April 2023 for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.&nbsp;
&ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; is merely the beginning, as Minaj revealed she has more music about Megan on the way. On January 29, Nicki tweeted, &ldquo;On the next song I delve into all the ppl Desiree allegedly fired for unknown reasons&hellip;other things as well. So many ppl were blind-sighted &amp; hurt by her. Allegedly. She&rsquo;s willing to go broke to try to replace me&hellip;? Fix it JESUS.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoodFoot?src=hashtag_click"> #GoodFoot</a>.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
https://x.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/1751862148199063669?s=20
&nbsp;
Taking Sides
&nbsp;Like Cardi and Nicki, people showed allegiance to the feud through social media. <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/latto-shows-megan-thee-stallion-love-following-new-single-hiss">Latto</a>, who has also had beef with Nicki in the past, supported Megan in the comments on Instagram with, &ldquo;U making us proud.&rdquo; Rubi Rose trolled Nicki Minaj on Instagram in support of Megan.&nbsp;
<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/sexyy-red-posts-herself-dancing-to-nicki-minaj-bigfoot-on-instagram">Sexyy Red</a> would support Nicki Minaj on Instagram with a clip of her twerking while &ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; plays. <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/ice-spice-reignites-beef-with-latto-heres-why">Ice Spice</a>, who has worked with Nicki on several collaborations, released a new single, &ldquo;Think U The Shit (Fart),&rdquo; last week that she revealed to reignite her beef with Latto.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Megan&rsquo;s ex-best friend <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/kelseys-revenge-megan-thee-stallions-ex-friend-previews-bigfoot-remix-nicki">Kelsey Harris</a> and Nicki Minaj have plans to release a sequel to &ldquo;BigFoot,&rdquo; which is in the works.&nbsp;

&nbsp;https://youtu.be/z-cWfyd-CK8?si=4Ou1zTbCaGbsoFzf
&nbsp;
Who Won?
&nbsp;Like all beef in hip-hop, it&rsquo;s subjective.&nbsp;
Megan Thee Stallion won the battle based on accolades. The diss track followed with the announcement of Megan signing a one-of-a-kind distribution deal with Warner Records. The new agreement was accompanied by Megan announcing she would hit the road this summer on the Hot Girl Summer tour. On top of the song, she was barely edging out &ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; for the #1 spot on the top of the charts, simply because it came out days earlier.&nbsp;
Nicki didn't use the response track for promotion, and it generated streaming numbers without it. Nicki lashed out at Roc Nation for using &ldquo;HISS&rdquo; in advertisements on social media with plans to reveal the bots and fake streams that helped build the song into a chart-topping success.&nbsp;
[Update]: It was announced on Monday, February 5, by Chart Data that Megan Thee Stallion officially earns the biggest U.S. pure sales week for a solo female rap song this decade with "HISS".

Megan Thee Stallion has a lot to celebrate these days. From awaiting her upcoming album release and tour to signing a new distribution deal with Warner Music Group. But that's not all: the Houston rapper will remain independent.&nbsp;
Warner Music Group has taken a particular interest in Megan &mdash; not only has the company partnered with her for distribution, but she will also have the opportunity to remain independent with her entertainment entitiy, Hot Girl Productions.
The agreement will allow Megan The Stallion to release her forthcoming projects while WMG assists with services like promotion and global marketing. &ldquo;This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter of my life and career," Megan said in a statment to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/megan-thee-stallion-warner-music-group-distribution-deal-1234959966/">Rolling Stone</a>. "I&rsquo;m really focused on building an empire and growing as an entrepreneur, so I&rsquo;m proud to take this next step in my journey and work with Max Lousada and the entire Warner Music Group team in this new capacity. I know we&rsquo;re going to create history together."
In regards to management, the rapper has been signed with Roc Nation since 2019. Newly made CEO, Desiree Perez descirbes Megan as a "trailblazer." She continued: "This new chapter with Warner Music Group will shift the landscape in the music industry and empower other independent artists to follow in her footsteps and claim their power."
Before the announcement, Megan released two new tracks, "Cobra" and "Hiss," via Hot Girl Productions. The tracks set social media ablaze and even landed the 28-year-old star in a <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minaj-fires-back-at-megan-the-stallion-over-alleged-diss">rap beef with Nicki Minaj</a>.

It seems like St. Louis rap star <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/sexyy-red-recalls-how-painful-hiding-her-pregnancy-while-on-tour-w-drake-was">Sexyy Red</a> is taking <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minaj-spazzes-out-on-roc-nation-for-supporting-megan-thee-stallions">Nicki Minaj</a>'s side in the ongoing feud with Megan Thee Stallion. On Tuesday morning (January 31), she shared a video on her Instagram Story in which she can be seen dancing with Minaj's "BigFoot" attached to a reel.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Set to delete in 24 hours, Sexyy Red shared an eight-second reel by Instagram user o7cumms showing her twerking and chickenhead-ing on stage. Nicki Minaj&rsquo;s &ldquo;Big Foot&rdquo; is attached to the video and could be perceived as Sexyy Redd siding with the Barbz in Hip-Hop&rsquo;s biggest beef at the moment.&nbsp;
Sexyy Red and Nicki Minaj previously collaborated on the remix of Redd&rsquo;s breakout hit, &ldquo;Pound Town.&rdquo; In November, it was reported that Nicki provided Sexyy Redd with unreleased tracks that no longer suited her. Since the collaboration, the two have been spotted together multiple times on social media.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
https://www.tiktok.com/@nickiminaj/video/7239470421081460011
&nbsp;
Sexyy Redd has not commented on the current beef between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion or the two individually at press time. Sexy Red toured with <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/drake-on-young-thug-mariah-the-scientist-jail-call-video-let-him-come-home">Drake</a>, another one of the artists Megan Thee Stallion took a shot at on her new single &ldquo;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/kris-jenner-reacts-to-megan-thee-stallion-name-dropping-her-in-new-single">HISS</a>,&rdquo; in 2023 as the opening act for his It&rsquo;s All A Blur Tour with <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/21-savage-seemingly-tattooed-lattos-name-behind-his-ear">21 Savage</a>.&nbsp;
Sexyy Red released her anticipated EP, Hood Hottest Princess, in June 2023 on Gamma. The project includes hit songs &ldquo;Female Gucci Mane,&rdquo; &ldquo;Pound Town 2,&rdquo; and &ldquo;SkeeYee.&rdquo; A deluxe version was released in December 2023 and features Juicy J, Nicki Minaj, Chief Keef, G Herbo, and 42 Dugg.

Sexyy Red Posts Herself Dancing To Nicki Minaj “BigFoot” On Instagram

In the midst of Megan Thee Stallion vs. <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minaj-spazzes-out-on-roc-nation-for-supporting-megan-thee-stallions">Nicki Minaj</a> feud, Kelsey Harris, Megan's ex-best friend, is ready to unleash a remix of "<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minaj-responds-to-megan-thee-stallion-w-track-big-foot">BigFoot</a>" aimed at the former friend.
&nbsp;
https://x.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/1752165438770074063?s=20
&nbsp;
On Monday evening (Jan. 29) Nicki Minaj re-posted a video of a known associate of Kelsey remaking the &ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; beat on X with the comment, &ldquo;Oh I am moving to THIS hunty!!!!!! Lemme get this up as an alternate version ASAP chiiii. Might call it: Kelsey&rsquo;s Revenge.&rdquo;
Outside of the production, Kelsey&rsquo;s verses to the response track have not been revealed. However, the Houston native took to her Instagram Story to share that she has been making music since 2017 and tried to help others but was declined. Kelsey wrote the following:&nbsp;
&ldquo;Stop hating! We working! Watch how this make mfs tap into the city forreal!!&rdquo; she wrote. &ldquo;I was grinding in the city b4 I got on that road. Those that been watching me since 2017 know! When I was on the road, yalls shit was getting turned down every time I tried to make shit happen for y&rsquo;all! I had to find nice ways to tell y&rsquo;all it ain&rsquo;t work out.&rdquo;
https://www.instagram.com/p/C2tqOaNL7M9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
As she embarks on the next chapter of her career, Kelsey reminds her followers she can&rsquo;t be stopped and delivers harsh words to those who doubted her in the past.
She continued: &ldquo;I had to say certain things for the h town legends to even be acknowledged forreal! So yea s/o to everyone that turned their back on me, fuck y&rsquo;all&hellip;respectfully. Can&rsquo;t dim my mf light!! This shit is in my blood! And I don&rsquo;t owe anyone a mf thang I&rsquo;m creating a way for me &amp; mine!&rdquo;
Megan would appear to respond to Kelsey's comments on X with a since-deleted post with laughing emojis and a video of her listening to her 2022 track, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s New,&rdquo; with friends while putting their middle fingers up on Instagram.
&nbsp;Kelsey held an Instagram Live session after Megan&rsquo;s post to clarify the beef between the two former friends where she revealed that Megan won&rsquo;t speak to her.&nbsp;
Nicki Minaj referenced Kelsey on &ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; several times as she responded to Megan Thee Stallion&rsquo;s new single &ldquo;HISS.&rdquo; Nicki spoke on Kelsey accusing Megan of sleeping with Kelsey&rsquo;s boyfriend and being a fake friend as she raps about Megan not really being shot in her 2020 situation involving <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/tory-lanez-jail-call-to-megan-thee-stallions-ex-bff-kelsey-harris-leaks-online">Tory Lanez</a>.
&ldquo;BigFoot&rdquo; and &ldquo;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/megan-thee-stallion-spits-venom-at-nicki-minaj-and-others-in-new-single-hiss">HISS</a>&rdquo; have broken several records and have been the <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/kris-jenner-reacts-to-megan-thee-stallion-name-dropping-her-in-new-single">hottest topic</a> in pop culture. Both Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion will be touring in 2024 with Nicki&rsquo;s Pink Friday 2 tour and Megan&rsquo;s Hot Girl Summer Tour, which she announced on Monday.

Nicki Minaj criticized Roc Nation, Megan Thee Stallion's management, in an X rant on Sunday evening (Jan. 28) for their promotional ad support in the Houston Hottie's <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/megan-thee-stallion-and-nicki-minaj-exchange-disses-following-megans-new">diss track</a> "HISS.&rdquo; Minaj addressed Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez directly regarding the company's involvement in the ongoing feud between her and Megan.

Before he passed in 2007, Pimp C was instrumental in Megan&rsquo;s career with his estate owning recordings of collaborations between the two. <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/bun-b-speaks-out-in-support-of-megan-thee-stallion-sends-tory-lanez-a-message">Bun B</a>, Pimp C&rsquo;s <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/ugks-archive-lost-in-hurricane-harvey-floods-photo">UGK</a> group member, said Megan Thee Satllion reminds him of Pimp C during his interview with Drink Champs in 2023.&nbsp;
In a mocking imitation of Pimp C, Nicki Minaj implied Megan alleged &ldquo;one flow&rdquo; and &ldquo;needs to learn how to rap on beat.&rdquo; Megan's style was talked about on X as Nicki promised a response track. After previewing the track during a 72 hour Instagram Live session, Nicki Minaj released a response to Megan Thee Stallion&rsquo;s new song on Sunday evening with &ldquo;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minaj-responds-to-megan-thee-stallion-w-track-big-foot">Big Foot</a>.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Nicki Minaj would continue to address Megan after &ldquo;Big Foot&rdquo; released on X where she shared with Pop Base that the track is not a &ldquo;diss track,&rdquo; fan reactions, and social media statistics.
Megan Thee Stallion has not issued a response to &ldquo;Big Foot&rdquo; yet as of press time.

Pimp C’s Widow Chinara Butler Responds To Nicki Minaj Mimicking Late Rapper In Megan Thee Stallion Feud

Nicki Minaj And Megan Thee Stallion's rumored beef has boiled over after the Houston rapper dropped her latest track, "HISS."&nbsp;
On Friday, Janurary 27, Megan The Stallion dropped her latest track, "HISS," which will be on her upcoming album. Following its release, the track sent social media into disarray. Several lyrics in the song seemingly took shots at several artists &mdash; among them were allegedly Drake and Nicki Minaj.&nbsp;
"These n*ggas hate on BBLs and be walkin' 'round with the same scars (Ah)/Real curvy, no edgin', n*ggas fight to get in my section (My section)," the Houston hottie rapped. Fans speculated that this could've been a shot at Drake.&nbsp;
However, the main event came when she dropped a verse mentioning "Megan's Law," a federal law created in 1994 that requires law enforcement authorities to make information regarding registered sex offenders available to the public. Some fans speculated that this could be a shot aimed at Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty. Decades ago, Petty was accused and found guilty of first-degree rape.&nbsp;
As expected, Nicki Minaj galvanized her fanbase &mdash; the Barbz&mdash; as she went on an X (formerly known as Twitter) rampage. "If your last 5-10 releases flopped&hellip;If The internet checks don't clear outside in real life. If all the paid blogs &amp; paid tweets = flop after flop after FLOP album," she wrote.
"Did y'all run up that 'Barbie World' song they tried?" she tweeted. "It's bubbling under this week. Video &amp; all and didn't crack the HOT 100. It's a BUB. They losing so much money with BF&hellip; ain't generate not one penny of a profit yet &amp; claim she went to college but can't read her contract &hellip;? Another manipulation so she can kick ppl to the curb after they helped her."
But it didn't end there. Nicki also took her rant to other social media platforms like Instagram.

Nicki Minaj Continues To Fire At Megan The Stallion Over Alleged Diss 

As teased, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/megan-thee-stallion-named-mother-fitness-in-planet-fitness-partnership">Megan Thee Stallion</a> snakes, slithered and delivered venomous bites to the haters on her anticipated new single, &ldquo;HISS&rdquo; released on Friday (Jan. 26).

&nbsp;
Produced by Bankrollgotit, Lil Ju, and Source, Megan gets everything off her chest and awaits the response. &ldquo;I just want to kick this shit off by saying fuck y&rsquo;all,&rdquo; She says at the beginning of the track. &ldquo;I ain&rsquo;t gotta clear my name on a muthafuckin&rsquo; thing. Every time I get mentioned, one of y&rsquo;all bitch-ass n-ggas get 24 hours of attention. I&rsquo;m finna get this shit off my chest and lay it to rest. Let&rsquo;s go!&rdquo;
It is well known that Megan Thee Stallion and <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nicki-minajs-pink-friday-2-reportedly-sells-over-one-million-units">Nicki Minaj</a> have had a feud, and Megan bites Nicki first in her song. Megan attacks Nicki Minaj by rapping about her husband's sexual assault case. On Kenny Petty, Megan raps: &ldquo;These hoes don&rsquo;t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan&rsquo;s Law/ I don&rsquo;t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y&rsquo;all don&rsquo;t want me to start.&rdquo;
Outside Nicki, others to get bitten are Megan&rsquo;s ex-boyfriend <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/pardison-fontaine-reveals-what-he-learned-from-his-relationship-working-with">Pradison Fontaine</a> and the blogs as Megan raps: "Allegations from the opposition, b***h n***as just eating it up/These blogs get paid to lie, y'all talk s**t and be broke as f**k," she raps on the second verse. "Bottom line is I'm still rich, do Megan bad and I'm still good/Bringing up who I might've f**ked and the bottom line they still would."
&ldquo;HISS&rdquo; adds to the serpent concept of her new image and upcoming album. Megan released her previous single &ldquo;Corba,&rdquo; which marked her return to music following the <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/tory-lanez-posts-message-from-prison-says-hes-in-good-spirits">Tory Lanez trial</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
After signing a new deal with Warner last month, Megan plans to release new music in 2024 as part of a new era.
Megan joined Ebro in the Morning in 2020 where she talked about her label issues, dating history, and more with Ebro, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez.
