As per Celebrity Net Worth, Nicki Minaj has a net worth of $150 million, while SZA has a net worth of $12 million. SZA clapped back at Minaj as the rappers' feud intensifies. Minaj had earlier taken to X to fire shots at SZA with multiple threads of tweets, claiming that SZA allegedly "sucks" up to artists after publicly insulting them.

In a July 17 tweet, Nicki called SZA a "fake girls' girl" and said,

"lol. These be the fake girls' girls who talk shit but will run u down for a photo or do sh** like this on camera to pretend they're not the hater they rlly are."

While Nicki didn't mention SZA's name, the tweet was in response to a clip which featured SZA trying to greet Rihanna at the Met Gala. This comes after SZA's old tweets, where she allegedly roasted Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Ciara, resurfaced on the internet.

Hours later, SZA responded to Nicki and posted screenshots of their conversations online, and said,

"Nicki. You absolutely know my music and what I contribute cause you've asked for features twice to no response. In addition to rapping my lyrics on 'Feeling Myself'' - 'Cooking up the bass looking like a kilo'? Lol ur having a moment...I'm not sure why but be blessed."

In the screenshots, Nicki Minaj can be seen reaching out via a mutual contact, suggesting a hook and a collaboration between the two.


Why are Nicki Minaj and SZA feuding?

Nicki Minaj and SZA began feuding on July 15, after Minaj took to X to fire shots at Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence "Punch" Henderson and accused him of bullying and blackmailing her. She also called out Roc Nation's CEO, Desiree Perez, after her daughter, Demoree, accused her of abusing her. SZA, who is signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, posted a tweet hours later saying,

"Mercury retrograde...don't take the bait lol silly goose."

Minaj thought the tweet was aimed at her, despite SZA clarifying that it was not, and began slamming SZA. Minaj posted a bunch of tweets addressing SZA's resurfaced tweets where she dissed Rihanna and Ciara, and accused the artist of drawing "freckles on & got to sucking" when she needed to get opportunities from them.

Nicki Minaj took to Stationhead and claimed that SZA downplayed and downgraded "top black women" instead of showing support to Black women against abuse in the music industry. She also compared their success and flexed her performances, while questioning SZA if she has "ever headlined to 80k people."
