Megan Thee Stallion has expressed confusion over her ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj, stating she still does not understand the root of their conflict. In a recent Billboard interview, Megan remarked, "I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is." The feud escalated in early 2024 when Megan released her diss track "Hiss," which seemingly targeted Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, prompting Minaj to retaliate with her own diss track, "Big Foot." Despite the hostility, Megan views being targeted as a sign of her rising status in the rap game, saying it makes her feel like she is considered competition. Their relationship once flourished with the collaboration on "Hot Girl Summer" in 2019, but tensions have since surfaced, partially stemming from past jokes and rivalries. The exchange of diss tracks has contributed to an environment of competitive energy in hip-hop this year.
