Nicki Minaj’s rap sheet of beefs is long enough to fill its own highlight reel.

Nicki Swift’s video “All The Celebs Who Can’t Stand Nicki Minaj” runs through the rapper’s most public collisions with fellow industry names, from a thrown shoe at a Harper’s Bazaar party to a decade-old grudge with Lil’ Kim. The rundown pulls together feuds that played out on Twitter, on live television, and once, allegedly, with a knife. Here’s what’s actually on the record.

• Cardi B threw a shoe at Nicki Minaj during the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party in September 2018, sustaining an injury in the scuffle before the two called a social media truce the following month.
• Nicki Minaj’s ex Safaree Samuels traded accusations with her on Twitter in August 2018, including a claim that she once stabbed him with a knife.
• Mariah Carey and Minaj clashed repeatedly during season 12 of American Idol in 2012-2013, with leaked footage of a profanity-laced outburst and Carey later saying she didn’t feel safe on set.

Cardi B: From MotorSport Tension to a Thrown Shoe

The friction between Cardi B and Minaj traces back to Migos’ 2017 single “MotorSport,” where both rappers appeared and, according to the video’s account, sniped at each other through passive-aggressive lines and interviews rather than outright confrontation. That slow burn boiled over in September 2018 at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party during New York Fashion Week, where Cardi threw a shoe at Minaj and came away with an injury from the altercation. The two spent weeks afterward sparring publicly over payola accusations, competing Fashion Nova endorsement deals, and a leaked phone number, before both sides announced a truce on social media in October 2018.

Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus Clash at the VMAs

Minaj’s beef with Taylor Swift began in July 2015 on Twitter, when Minaj criticized the VMAs for snubbing “Anaconda” in the Video of the Year category, pointing to racial and body-type bias in the industry. Swift assumed the comment was aimed at her personally and fired back, only to apologize once it became clear Minaj wasn’t singling her out — the two later performed together at that year’s VMAs. Miley Cyrus got pulled into a separate flare-up around the same show after calling Minaj “not too polite” in a New York Times interview ahead of hosting the ceremony. Minaj answered on stage during the live broadcast with a line that instantly went viral.

Miley, what’s good?

Iggy Azalea and the Ghostwriting Fallout

At the 2014 BET Awards, Minaj used her acceptance speech to draw a sharp line under the ghostwriting debate that had been trailing Iggy Azalea, declaring, “when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it.” The comment wasn’t subtle, and it fed a wave of accusations that Azalea relied on outside writers for her verses — a charge that stuck to Azalea’s career narrative for years afterward.

Mariah Carey’s American Idol Meltdown

Nothing on this list matches the scale of the Mariah Carey blowup. As fellow judges on American Idol’s twelfth season in 2012-2013, Carey and Minaj clashed on camera repeatedly, and leaked footage eventually surfaced showing Minaj unleashing a profanity-heavy outburst during taping. Carey later said plainly that she did not feel safe working alongside Minaj on set, a comment that closed the door on any reconciliation between the two.

Lil’ Kim’s Diss Track War and Safaree Samuels’ Knife Claim

The Lil’ Kim feud is the oldest one in the video, built on accusations that Minaj imitated Kim’s lyrical style and image on her way up. It generated actual diss tracks on both sides — Lil’ Kim’s “Black Friday” mixtape and Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge” — turning a stylistic gripe into a recorded back-and-forth. More recently, Minaj’s ex-partner Safaree Samuels aired a vitriolic Twitter battle with her in August 2018, throwing around accusations of infidelity and disputes over songwriting credit, and claiming at one point that Minaj had stabbed him with a knife. Travis Scott rounds out the list; in August 2018, Minaj went after him on Queen Radio and Twitter, accusing him of inflating his Billboard 200 chart position through tour-ticket bundles and promotional help from Kylie Jenner. Anyone curious just how many names land on Minaj’s list of rivals can find the fuller breakdown in The 14 People Nicki Minaj Should Be Most Afraid Of, and the pattern of alliances curdling into feuds isn’t unique to her — Celebs Who Started Out Friends And Ended Up Enemies covers plenty of other examples across the industry.

The Cardi B truce from October 2018 is the freshest entry on the list, and it’s the one worth watching — both rappers went quiet on the subject after burying it on social media, which is about as close to a ceasefire as either has managed with anyone on this rundown.
