“The Needle Bursting Balloon” and Nicki Minaj Herself, Heat Up The Feud Between Beyonce And Rihanna again! Nicki Minaj REVEALS Beyonce Is The One Who Ruined Rihanna!
Speculation about Beyonce and Rihanna’s alleged feud is back in the spotlight and this time, none other than Nicki Minaj is seemingly throwing shade at Beyonce for allegedly trying to mess with Rihanna’s career!
Nikki’s candid remarks shed light on what many have suspected for years: a simmering feud between two of music’s most iconic figures. According to Nikki, Beyoncé’s rise to fame has been marred by a pattern of behavior that pits women against each other, with Rihanna being a prime target.
The drama traces back to the mid-2000s when both Beyoncé and Rihanna were on the cusp of superstardom. Despite initial claims of support from Beyoncé, tensions soon arose between the two as rumors swirled about a romantic entanglement between Rihanna and Jay-Z, Beyoncé’s husband and music mogul.

After pushing TLC & Usher to Pop royal status in the 90s the record executive LA Reid set out to do the same with fresh faces as the head of Def Jam in 2005.
Joining him in his mission was the rapper turned exec Jay-Z who, keen to replicate the solo success of his then-girlfriend Beyonce and a ‘Goodies‘-supplying starlet named Ciara– picked up two new artists named Teairra Mari and Rihanna.
The rest as they say is history.
Now, Reid has revealed that Rihanna may not have been treated as a priority at the label if not for moves Beyonce made to support her behind the scenes.
I first laid eyes on Rihanna in the hallway. I didn’t know she was a singer or anything, just a pretty girl standing outside somebody’s office. Then Jay Z burst into my office.
“You have to see this girl,” he said.We went back to his office and he introduced me. She was a startlingly beautiful 17-year-old from Barbados. She opened her audition with a Beyoncé song, singing, but the whole time piercing me with these laser eyes. I saw her determination, her commitment. I saw someone who was going to be a big star someday. My head was spinning. She sang another song, “Pon De Replay,” that would become her first hit. After she was done, I looked at Jay Z.
The funny thing about Rihanna’s success was that we signed two girls at that time — Rihanna and a lovely young lady named Teairra Mari. We had an in-house company showcase and Beyoncé happened to be there with Jay Z. Teairra Mari, Rihanna, a four-girl group called Black Butterfly and Ne-Yo performed. At the label, we thought Teairra Mari would be the big star. We spent more time on her, did more work on her, paid more attention to her. Rihanna already had a hit with “Pon De Replay,” but we still thought it was the other girl. A bell went off for me, however, when, after the showcase, Beyoncé came up to me.
“That Rihanna girl,” she said, “she’s a beast.”
Black Butterfly‘s Amina Schmal would go on to star on VH1’s ‘Love & Hip Hop New York‘ while Mari would go on to make a fool of herself on the platform’s Los Angeles arm.
