Nicki Minaj Calls Out Jay-Z over Alleged $200 Million Debt

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Nicki Minaj alleges Jay-Z owes her up to $200 million from the 2021 Tidal sale and questions the political motives of Roc Nation's CEO, Desiree Perez, amid ongoing legal disputes.

  • On July 8, 2025, Nicki Minaj publicly accused Jay-Z of owing her between $100 million and $200 million linked to her equity in Tidal, during a social media rant.
  • Minaj's allegations arise from Tidal's 2015 launch where she was granted a 3% stake, and the platform's 2021 sale to Square for $302 million, after which she claims she was underpaid.
  • Her posts targeted Jay-Z, Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, and Megan Thee Stallion, including the release of a track titled 'Big Foot' seen as mocking Megan’s 2020 gunshot injury.
  • Minaj stated, "We've calculated about 100-200MM so far," urged Jay-Z to settle this karmic debt before interest accumulates, and said she would use the funds to support fans’ education.
  • Jay-Z has not publicly responded, the feud remains active, and ongoing legal issues against Megan Thee Stallion reflect persistent tensions among the involved artists and affiliates.
