Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj are trending again after a viral livestream moment sparked debate across social media about whether Doja was looking for Nicki’s trouble.
During a recent Twitch stream, Doja Cat found herself distracted by her pet cat, which began chewing on the wires connected to her streaming setup. In the middle of the moment, she jokingly addressed the pet, saying, “Are you Nicki Minaj? Are you chewing on the wires? Don’t chew on the wires. Let go… let go Nicki, let go Nicki,” as she tried to pull the cables away.
The clip quickly circulated online, with fans dissecting the comment. Some viewers interpreted the moment as a subtle shade directed at Nicki Minaj, especially amid ongoing online conversations comparing Doja to the Queens rapper as one of the leading voices in rap today. Others pointed to a different possible reference, recalling a 2025 viral joke that blamed “Nicki chewing wires backstage” for a near-malfunction during a Beyoncé concert.
Despite the speculation, the two artists share a history of collaboration. In 2020, Nicki Minaj joined Doja Cat on the remix of “Say So,” which appeared on Doja’s album Hot Pink. Their connection nearly extended further in 2022, when Nicki revealed during a Twitter Spaces session that she had been approached to feature on Doja’s track “Get Into It (Yuh),” but ultimately declined, saying she did not feel she had anything unique to add at the time.
As the clip continues to circulate, the question remains: was this a Nicki shade
