Bathong, Nicki Minaj has started yet another beef with a fellow industry colleague. The Trinidadian rapper seemed to have ruffled SZA's feathers on social media with her recent tweets.

"Nicki is mad her prime is over and she’s washed up and has to hate on others to stay relevant. It’s sad."

@LeeLovesBey replied:

"She's threatened by SZA’s success as always."
