Nicki Minaj sparked controversy on Monday after sharing a series of incendiary posts on X, in which she made extreme allegations against an unnamed “favorite artist” — widely interpreted by users as Jay-Z. The implication stemmed from images she shared of the rapper alongside Aaliyah and Beyoncé.
In her posts, Minaj accused figures within the music industry of engaging in satanic practices, claiming children from other countries are harmed and used as so-called “blood sacrifices” in exchange for power. She framed the accusations as part of what she described as a long-standing culture of industry satanism.
Minaj went further by labeling Jay-Z a child predator, again posting old photographs of him with an underage Aaliyah and a young Beyoncé to support her claims. The outburst came shortly after Trevor Noah made a joke about her during the Grammy Awards ceremony, where she received nominations but did not take home a win.
The allegations quickly spread across social media and were widely circulated by users and media outlets.
Jay-Z has not publicly addressed the claims. While conspiracy theories alleging occult practices in the entertainment industry have existed for years, none of Minaj’s accusations have been substantiated.
Her comments have divided fans and observers, with some pointing out that such statements could carry serious legal consequences if considered defamatory.
