As the feud between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion continues to escalate, an unexpected figure has emerged in support of Minaj: conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
Minaj, known for her fiery responses and sharp lyrics, took to X on Wednesday night to promote Shapiro’s newly released single “Facts.”
The collaboration between Shapiro and white Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald takes aim at hip-hop culture and American leftists, with Shapiro delivering lines critiquing “woke Karens” and financial illiteracy.
Shapiro referenced his previous criticism of Megan over her sexually explicit track “WAP” with Cardi B, suggesting that it contradicted feminist ideals.

The timing of Shapiro’s endorsement of “Facts” coincides with the success of Megan’s latest single “Hiss,” which reached No. 1 on major streaming platforms. In response, Shapiro boasted about “Facts” climbing the charts and hinted at competition with Megan, while also acknowledging Minaj’s talent.
The feud between Minaj and Megan reached a boiling point with the release of “Big Foot,” Minaj’s scathing response to “Hiss.”
In the song, Minaj took aim at Megan’s personal life, including references to her 2020 shooting incident and alleged liposuction, sparking intense debate online.
One line in “Hiss” particularly ignited controversy, as Megan referenced “Megan’s Law,” a legislation aimed at sex offenders, leading listeners to speculate that she was targeting Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender. Minaj retaliated on “Big Foot,” further intensifying the feud.
