Nicki Minaj escalated her ongoing feud with Megan Thee Stallion by making a controversial remark about the late mother of the "Savage" rapper. The conflict reignited after Megan criticized Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, in her latest song, "Hiss."

In Megan's track, she mentions "Megan’s Law," a reference to the US law disclosing information about registered sex offenders. Given Petty's history as a registered sex offender, Minaj's fans perceived it as a dig, possibly at Minaj's brother, Jelani Maraj, convicted of predatory sexual assault in 2017.

Responding to the song, Minaj urged Megan to "conjure up her mother and apologize," deeming the lyric "disgusting." Megan's mother, Holly Thomas, passed away in 2019 from a cancerous brain tumor. While Megan has not commented on Minaj's remarks, fans expressed disappointment on social media.

Minaj, without specifying her motive, stated that her family is a constant "focal point" of criticism, expressing frustration. This latest clash follows Minaj's preview of an unreleased single targeting Megan's foot injuries from the 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. In December 2022, Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan and later sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The origin of Minaj and Megan's feud is unclear, but they collaborated amicably on "Hot Girl Summer" in 2019. Speculation suggests the friendship soured when Megan worked with Cardi B, Minaj's rival, on "WAP" in 2020. The recent incidents highlight the ongoing tension between the two prominent artists.
