Nicki Minaj and former NFL star Dez Bryant have been engaged in a fiery social media exchange since last weekend. The beef, which started with one tweet, quickly escalated into a wild showdown involving a $10 million cash offer and a promise of physical violence.
It all started when Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made comments about Dez Bryant’s past contract negotiations with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. Nicki Minaj, who has her own issues with the company, used Bryant’s post to air her own grievances with Jay-Z. Bryant, realizing he was caught in the middle of a much bigger feud, tried to disengage, tweeting a video saying, “Look, Ms. Nicki. Leave me out of it. I don’t want no problems. I’m a huge fan. I hope you’re having a great day.”
But it was too late. The “Queen” of clapbacks wasn’t having it. She responded with a post that began with, “It’s Mrs. Petty” and ended with, “I’d mind my business if I were you. Be blessed.” The energy shifted from playful to combative fast, with Nicki bringing up a 2012 news story where Bryant was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother. She also referenced a 2020 article accusing Dez of jumping into a past beef involving her, which he denied.
That’s when Dez snapped back. He defended himself, clarifying that he was never jailed or convicted and was only protecting himself during a chaotic incident. But he didn’t stop there. He hit back at Nicki’s personal life, bringing up her husband Kenneth Petty’s criminal history as a sex offender.
And then, the moment that broke the internet. Nicki clapped back with a sarcastic, yet shocking offer. She tweeted, “I’ll give you 10 million in cash if you’d come & fight him since you BEAT UR OWN MOM.”
Dez Bryant, not one to back down, had an even wilder response. He tweeted, “Go get that 10 million in cash.. I’ll stomp that n**a out right in front of you.. and it’s ROC for life, btch.”
Twitter exploded. The social media feud, which began with a simple tweet, has evolved into a spectacle involving a multi-million-dollar offer and a challenge to a physical fight. The internet is in a frenzy, and it’s clear that this fiery exchange is far from over.
