Nicki Minaj appears to have taken the torch from Kanye 'Ye' West as she goes on an explosive social media rant!

Just days after the Yeezy founder apologized for his antisemitic comments and past social media meltdowns, the "Anaconda" hitmaker became the internet's latest crashout queen. She recently slammed several celebrities, including the annual Grammys.

Nicki Minaj's tone has changed significantly from her past, with many believing she has become a shadow of her former self after joining Donald Trump's camp. She has been vocal about her support for the MAGA agenda and Christianity, frequently condemning others with different views.

It is no secret that Minaj has no love for the Grammys, as she last appeared at the awards ceremony in 2015. She has never won the prestigious award despite several nominations and previously blamed it on her controversial "Roman Holiday" performance in 2012.

The performance, which sparked backlash for seemingly disrespecting the Catholic Church, resurfaced after Minaj went on a bizarre rant on X. Although she did not mention the Grammys by name, her words were directed at the annual event, which she implied was a satanic affair.

"As they do their ritual tonight, God Almighty will reveal Himself to them. The ritual will backfire on them. God will not be mocked," Minaj wrote. She added that all those who criticized her, seemingly referencing Trevor Noah's jabs at the Grammys, "shall be condemned and put to shame."

Before attacking the Grammys, Minaj bared her fangs at several A-listers, including Noah, whom she alleged had refused to come out of the closet. She slammed Lizzo for losing weight, writing, "Fat Lizzo lost 300 lbs just to sell 300 albums. So now she has loose skin AND a flop album."

Minaj seemingly referenced the sexual harassment case Lizzo previously faced from three backup dancers, labeling it "a weird charge." Her attacks continued, calling out John Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen. She claimed that it wasn't a secret that the latter "has/had" a male genital.

During her social media crashout, Minaj took another page out of Ye's book by going after Jay-Z and Beyoncé. She repeatedly slammed the Roc Nation founder as a "child predator," claiming he rose to fame by exploiting the innocence of children.

She called out the age gaps in his past relationships, sharing an intimate picture of Jay-Z with the late singer Aaliyah. Minaj alleged Aaliyah was still a minor when the snap was taken; however, a quick internet search revealed the picture was taken in 2000.

Aaliyah was 21 at the time, while Jay-Z was 30. On the other hand, Minaj believed Aaliyah was 15, and Jay-Z was 26, so she labeled him a "child predator." She echoed similar sentiments in a separate tweet, arguing that the record producer had been "hugging & humping on teens in broad daylight."

In another tweet about Jay-Z, Minaj shared throwback pictures of the music mogul with Aaliyah and a shot of him with a young Beyoncé. She added their alleged ages to the snaps, arguing that Jay-Z was romantically tied to these women when they were teenagers.

"Are y'all understanding that these ppl have been sacrificing children as a way of gaining & maintaining power? If you ever vote DemonCrat again, you're just as soulless as they are & will perish," Minaj wrote. She added that she might shed more light on these accusations because they tried to bully her.

Minaj also claimed she wouldn't release another album until her contract was renegotiated and she shared the findings of a RICO investigation allegedly uncovered by a sabotage scheme involving Billboard. She doubled down on her ritual claims in another post, claiming babies from other countries were being sacrificed.

Minaj's allegations continued on X, dropping bombshells about unspecified people against her. She claimed her documentary was "sabotaged" because it revealed the abuse she had endured, with the culprits unrelenting in their efforts to ruin her career.

"They've been trying to stall all my projects in hopes I'd lose a bunch of money & beg them for help," Minaj alleged. She noted that she was speaking out against them after warning them to leave her alone, but they brought destruction upon themselves with their actions.

Minaj's X rants drew mixed reactions on social media, with many condemning her behavior. On the other hand, her loyal supporters enjoyed the crashout and begged her to spill the tea about her alleged industry bullies.
