As billboard.com states, “Megan Thee Stallion banks her first top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs as ‘Hot Girl Summer’ debuts at No. 7 and opens at No. 11 on the Hot 100.” This song paved the way for collaborations in the music industry because of its popularity.
The friendship between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj turned to feud when Megan released a series of songs featuring Nicki’s rival, Cardi B. These infamous songs are labeled as “Bongos” and “WAP”. As latimes.com states, “Cardi B’s fourth No. 1 single and Megan Thee Stallion’s second, “WAP” was powered in part by a splashy music video featuring cameos by Normani, Rosalía and Kylie Jenner…” This collaboration was infamous and brought fame and fortune to both Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. As a result of this success, the song “WAP” was criticized by Nicki Minaj. On Twitter (now known as X), Nicki is reported saying, “You can give out millions in cashapp money tho.” states hiphopDX.com.

On January 26, Megan Thee Stallion released the song labeled “Hiss”. In this song, Megan comes after Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty. In “Hiss”, Megan is quoted saying “Aye, these **** don’t be mad at Megan, these **** mad at Megan’s Law”, according to genius.com. Megan’s Law is a legal term used to “Mandate public disclosure of information about registered sex offenders when required to protect the public,” according to smart.ojp.gov.
Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty was supposed to register as a sex offender; however, he refused. This is because as marca.com states, “In 1994, he faced a first-degree rape charge after a 16-year-old girl accused him of sexually assaulting her at knifepoint. Though initially denying the accusations, Petty ultimately pleaded guilty to attempted rape, serving over four years in prison and being mandated to register as a sex offender.” As vulture.com states, “Petty failed to register as a sex offender in Los Angeles, and as a result he has been sentenced to probation and house arrest, as well as a fine of $55,000.”
