If there’s one factor Tina Knowles is gonna do, it’s throw some shade to defend her infants!
Nicki Minaj has been airing out her beef with Jay-Z, Megan Thee Stallion, and Roc Nation as an entire for a number of days now. After mocking Meg for the lawsuit a former cameraman filed in opposition to her, the rapper turned her consideration to Jay-Z, alleging he owes her a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of {dollars} for her stake in Tidal.
When Jay first launched the music streaming platform, fifteen artists–together with Nicki–had been gifted three p.c Tidal fairness, price $56 million on the time, per Complicated. In 2021, Tidal was bought to Sq. for $302 million, with Minaj and the opposite movie star house owners reportedly preserving their stake after the sale.
Now, Minaj is saying that she was supplied $1 million for her share of the corporate, not the roughly $9 million that she can be owed if the corporate was valued on the value of the Sq. sale. Due to this, she is publicly blasting Jay-Z for allegedly owing her $200 million together with curiosity.
She additionally posted seemingly-fake information a few long-standing paternity case involving Hov shifting ahead, highlighting a person that has been claiming to be Jay’s son for years now.
Whereas everyone knows Jay-Z isn’t going to reply, at the least publicly, one particular person we are able to at all times depend on to chime in with the quickness is Ms. Tina! Whereas one among her infants wasn’t talked about, immediately, Nicki taking goal at her longtime son-in-law, his firm, and pushing claims he has an illegitimate youngster had been sufficient for her to put up a refined response.
