Rapper Nicki Minaj has made headlines after accusing Jay-Z of owing her a staggering amount of money reportedly between 13 billion and 26 billion Kenyan shillings (equivalent to over $200 million).

In a post on social media platform X, Nicki Minaj expressed her frustration, citing a long-standing dispute believed to be connected to the Tidal streaming platform deal. She alleged she was promised a large payout but received only a small portion of what was due.

Nicki Minaj, despite the accusations, still referred to Jay-Z as one of her “top five” rappers, suggesting a complex relationship marked by both admiration and disappointment.

She stated that if paid, part of the funds would go toward her “Student Of The Game” charity, aimed at helping her fans clear school fees and student loans.

This controversy has reignited discussions about artist compensation and transparency in music streaming ventures.

Jay-Z, a key figure behind Tidal, has yet to respond publicly to Minaj’s claims.

The situation adds to growing concerns from various artists about being short-changed in the digital music era.

Fans now await clarity and potential legal action as the dispute continues to unfold online.
