Nicki Minaj reignited her long-running dispute with Jay‑Z over payouts from his former streaming platform, Tidal.
On Tuesday, July 8, she took to X to claim she was short‑changed, saying she was owed from “100‑200 MM” tied to her equity stake. She called it a “karmic debt” and urged Jay‑Z to “call me to settle this karmic debt.”
According to The Express Tribune, Nicki explained she held a 3% stake in Tidal but received only about $1 million instead of the roughly $9 million she expected from the sale to Block in 2021. She also accused Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez of shady dealings and brought fresh attention to her broader frustrations, including comments about the Super Bowl halftime show line‑up.
The post sparked reactions from fans and industry figures. Mid‑rumblings of a potential move to alternate streaming platforms like Kick or Twitch surfaced, though Minaj herself hasn’t confirmed any shift.
As of now, Jay‑Z hasn’t publicly responded, but Minaj’s post has reignited conversations about artist equity in streaming ventures—and whether Tidal’s 2021 sale delivered fairly on its promises.
