Just when we thought the songs “Savage” and “Say So” couldn’t get any better,
Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj hopped on the remixes and they each took their song to a new level.
But as much as we loved the new versions, some fans now think that Nicki was actually
throwing shade at Beyoncé in her verse.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the latest news updates you
need to know and I know it’s only Monday you guys, but the tea is HOT.
Last week, both Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé dropped remixes to some of today’s most popular
songs!
Nicki remixed “Say So” by Doja Cat and Beyonce remixed “Savage” by Megan Thee
Stallion.
And the new versions of both songs were EPIC.
I spent all weekend dancing to both of these songs alone in my bedroom.
Don’t judge me.
Anyway, in this time where we should be listening to these songs and celebrating the fact that
we got brand new versions of two of our favorite bops, clues are actually pointing toward a
possible Nicki Minaj/Beyoncé feud.
I know, I know there’s enough going on in the world right now, the last thing we need
is for these two queens to be going at it.
So why do some people think that Nicki shaded Beyoncé?
Here’s what went down.
Last Wednesday, the Beyoncé/Megan Thee Stallion “Savage” remix dropped and it was everything
we didn’t know we needed.
Queen Bey sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker!
SORRY, I had to!
She had a bunch of great lines like “I heard they asking for the queen, they brought some
cameras in here I’m a bad b*tch, she’s a savage, no comparison here.”
But the lyric that has people talking is when Beyoncé says, “If you wanna see some real
ass, baby, here’s your chance.”
Ok so this lyric caught fans’ attention because two days after Bey and Megan dropped
their remix, Nicki and Doja Cat dropped theirs.
And the “Say So” remix also took over the internet, but it wasn’t just because
of the collab, it was also because of some shady lines by Nicki.
And what makes it even shadier, is that the lines in question were seemingly added to
the track after an earlier version of the remix was leaked.
So did Nicki hear Beyoncé’s Savage remix and feel the need to respond?
Well this is what Nicki said…
Towards the end of the track, around the 3:12 mark, Nicki raps, “Why you talkin’ bout
who body fake?
With all the fillers in your face, you just full of hate.
That real a** ain’t keep your n*gga home.
Now you lookin’ silly, that’s word to silicone.”
Let’s rewind for a second and remember that in Beyonce’s version of Savage she did say
“If you wanna see some real ass, baby, here’s your chance.”
So it seems possible that Nicki could’ve been throwing shade at Bey, but that’s not
what fans thought at first.
Upon a first listen, people thought Nicki could’ve been shading talk show host, Wendy
Williams, who she has an ongoing feud with.
The drama between these two started around October of 2019 when Wendy criticized Nicki
for marrying Kenneth Petty because of his controversial past.
Then, on an episode of Queen Radio, Nicki called Wendy “demonic” and made fun of
her divorce from her longtime husband Kevin Hunter, who Wendy split up with last year.
And with the drama continuing on between Nicki and Wendy, fans took to Twitter to share their
thoughts on the lyrics.
One person tweeted writing quote, “Was that last part of say So nicki Minaj verse towards
Wendy Williams i hope so”
Another chimed in saying quote, “@NICKIMINAJ Dragged @WendyWilliams On Say So Remix That
Verse”
And another fan came through with this meme writing quote, “#wendywilliams hearing the
say so remix with #NickiMinaj like”
But Nicki actually took to her Instagram stories to clear the air and claims that the line
wasn’t about Wendy at all.
She wrote quote, “The line ain’t about Wendy though #SaySoRemix”
So this is when fans started wondering who else the lyrics could be about and questioned
if it could be about Beyoncé.
This fan took to Twitter to speculate writing quote, “Did nicki minaj just diss Beyoncé
in #SaySoRemix ?”
Another person called Nicki out saying quote, “nicki minaj is literally so bored she’s
trying to come for BEYONCÉ”
And this fan pointed out that while Nicki shut down the Wendy rumors, she hasn’t spoken
out about Beyoncé yet writing that quote, “I truly love both artists it’s just all
so confusing to me she debunked the Wendy rumors but not the Beyonce rumors so that’s
what’s throwing me off”
And this fan put both lyrics side by side writing quote, “Not trying to Reach buttt
I need answers #SavageRemix #SaySoRemix”
Ok so while neither Beyoncé nor Nicki have spoken out about these lyrics yet, we did
some digging into their relationship to see if we really think Nicki could’ve been shading
Bey.
Before all of this, it seemed like these two had a good working relationship.
They’ve collaborated in the past on songs like Nicki’s track “Feeling Myself”
and they’ve even performed at shows together.
And more recently, there were even rumors that Bey had allegedly sided with Nicki in
her ongoing feud with Cardi B.
And Nicki also publicly praised Beyoncé’s song “Sorry.”
And while neither of them has said much about the other over the last few months, there
hasn’t been any indication that they’ve had a falling out.
So with keeping all that in mind, it doesn’t seem likely that Nicki’s lyrics are about
Beyoncé, but you never know.
Clearly she was shading someone and maybe time will tell who those lyrics are REALLY
about.
Let me know if you think these lyrics are about Wendy, Beyoncé, or someone else all
together down in the comments below.
