The Young Money rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her frustration over JAY-Z allegedly denying Lil Wayne the opportunity to headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans next February.
In a series of explosive posts, Nicki accused JAY-Z of playing a role in preventing Lil Wayne from taking the stage, sparking a wave of controversy within the hip-hop community.
