Megan Thee Stallion recently offered an update on her relationship with Nicki Minaj. She became close to The Pinkprint rapper in 2019, even collaborating that year on the seasonal anthem “Hot Girl Summer”. But their friendship was called into question in 2020 after Megan Thee Stallion worked with Nicki Minaj’s rival Cardi B.
Releasing the air, Megan Thee Stallion revealed that she’s always been cool with the “Good Form” rapper while also sharing her belief that she should be able to work with whoever she wants.
Some fans thought Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj would drop after ‘WAP’
When rumors emerged in early July that Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B had a song coming up, reactions were mixed. While some were overjoyed to see the two meet, others reacted negatively, accusing Megan Thee Stallion of “betraying” Nicki Minaj over her years-long feud with Cardi B.
Megan Thee Stallion did not immediately respond to the allegations.

Megan Thee Stallion’s comments came in an interview on 107.5 WGCI Chicago. When asked if she felt the need to tell Nicki Minaj about her collaboration with Cardi B ahead of her release, Megan Thee Stallion said no.
“I didn’t feel like I had to call him first. I mean, because at the end of the day I’m still an artist and I should be free to work with whoever I want to work with, ”she said around 10:00 am.
“My personal relationship with anyone does not affect what I choose to do as an artist,” continued Megan Thee Stallion. “Even the relationship between Cardi and I continued after the song, like she was great on her own. I love him as a person, we talk a lot, we talk a lot. Me and Nicki, our relationship hasn’t changed since we did ‘Hot Girl Summer’.
“I feel like women, we really know how to coexist and we really know how not to be mean, so despite the popular opinion on the internet, it really isn’t,” she added.
Megan Thee Stallion maintained that she was a staunch friend, but said at the end of the day that she had to have a “logical reason” before taking sides. “I’m that friend if my daughter at home doesn’t love you, I don’t love you.” This is what it is. But girl, you’re gonna have to give me a logical reason, ”she continued. “Like, you don’t have to be in everyone’s beef, you don’t have to be in everyone’s fight… like, if you’ve never done anything to me, that’s fine.” Everyone is good.
