After a relatively subdued 2023, Megan Thee Stallion ignited the world of female rap with her bold “HISS” diss track in the early weeks of 2024. Despite not explicitly naming Nicki Minaj, Megan addressed Megan’s Law, designed to protect sexual assault victims, stirring controversy around Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty. The discourse has continued as Minaj responds to the perceived shots in the track.
While “HISS” isn’t exclusive to Nicki Minaj, the “Barbie Dreams” artist appears to be the most affected. On the other hand, those referenced in Megan Thee Stallion’s verses seem to embrace the mention. Kris Jenner, for instance, shared the track on her Instagram Story, specifically highlighting the part where Megan alludes to a potential management contract with Jenner in the future.
“I feel like Mariah Carey, got these n*ggas so obsessed / My pu**y so famous, might get managed by Kris Jenner next,” Megan rhymes early in the track. Kris Jenner responded by sharing the snippet on her Instagram Story with the caption “@theestallion 🤣🤣❤️,” signaling her appreciation for Megan’s humor. Jenner has a history of supporting female artists, as seen in her previous nod to Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” visual in 2018, where she channeled Amy Poehler’s Mean Girls character.
Despite the backlash from “HISS,” Megan Thee Stallion has found support from various quarters, with notable exceptions including Nicki Minaj and The Barbz. Even her ex-best friend Kelsey Nicole has taken to social media to tease her take on Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot” diss track. Explore more about the ongoing saga at the provided link below.
