Taking to X, Nicki wrote, “Your favorite artist has been practicing rituals in a satanic cult where they take babies from other countries & mutilate & kill them as a form of a blood sacrifice to their God. You see, when your master is satan, you must constantly shed blood. However, the JIG IS UP."

While the rapper did not name anyone directly, fans were quick to speculate that the post was a response to Noah’s remarks at the Grammys. Many believe it was a jab aimed at the host following his on-stage comments.

Soon after the post went live, fans flooded the comment section, urging Nicki to reveal who she was referring to. One fan commented, "Fans Name names." Another wrote, "Billie eilish? Lady Gaga? Justin Bieber? Bad bunny?" Coming out in support of the rapper, another fan added, "God bless you, Nicki. We all need to pray, pray, PRAY for you and your safety. You're going up against pure evil. I have your back and so does America. I'm so grateful for you!"

Trevor Noah, who was hosting the Grammy Awards for the sixth time, made the joke early in his opening monologue. While addressing the audience, he mentioned Nicki Minaj, who was not present at the ceremony, and played up the crowd’s reaction before launching into a mock exchange involving US President Donald Trump.

Noah said, "Nicki Minaj is not here, she is not here, uh. She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues: 'Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass, I have it. Everybody's saying it Nicki, I know they say it's you, but it's me. Womp womp womp, look at it baby."

Nicki Minaj has been nominated for the Grammy Awards 12 times over the course of her career but has yet to take home the trophy. Her most recent nomination came in 2024 for the song Barbie World from the film Barbie.
