The Kanye and Nicki Minaj beef might be one of the weirdest beef this year, as nobody really knows why it started or where it started from.
During her Essence Festival performance last week, Minaj started rapping her verse on Ye’s song “Monster,” but cut the song short and called Ye a clown. “I’m ‘Monster’-ed out, and we don’t f*ck with clowns,” Minaj said to the crowd.
Yesterday, however, it was reported that Kanye unfollowed Minaj on Instagram, in an apparent response to her calling him a “clown” on stage.
It was speculated that there was tension a couple of years ago after Kanye took Nicki’s verse off of an unreleased song “New Body” off of his album Yandhi that was never released as well and replaced with Jesus Is King.
In an interview with The Shade Room, Minaj spoke on the collab, saying that the two weren't “seeing eye to eye on it,” and that Kanye wanted her to change her verse “four times over in order to fit into where [Kanye West] was creatively and spiritually, only to then go on the internet a few months later to see [West] on Drink Champs.”

Kanye West and Nicki Minaj’s friendship has taken another turn. After Kanye opened the door for Nicki to lay one of the most iconic verses of her career to date on “Monster” in 2010, the Dark Fantasy anthem is playing a role in the rift between Ye and the Queens legend over a decade later.
Yeezy appears to have unfollowed Nicki on Instagram as of Monday (July 11) and Kanye hitting the unfollow button looks to come in retaliation for Nicki’s “clown” comments during ESSENCE Festival earlier in July in New Orleans.
“A monster though!” she said. “A monster though! But we don’t fuck with clowns.”
Nicki had her DJ cut the song and she moved to another in her set.
