Rapper [[Nicki Minaj]] took offense to the line "These hoes don't be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at [[Megan's Law]]", interpreting it to be a diss directed at her; both her brother and her husband, Jelani Maraj and [[Kenneth Petty]], are registered sex offenders. In 2019, Petty was sentenced to a year of house arrest along with probation and a $55,000 fine for failing to register as a sex offender in California.[{{cite web |last=Trepany |first=Charles |title=Nicki Minaj's husband Kenneth Petty on probation, house arrest for not registering as sex offender |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/07/06/nicki-minaj-husband-kenneth-petty-probation-not-registering-sex-offender/7827490001/ |website=[[USA Today]] |access-date=March 28, 2024 |date=July 6, 2022 |archive-date=April 5, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240405135747/https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/07/06/nicki-minaj-husband-kenneth-petty-probation-not-registering-sex-offender/7827490001/ |url-status=live }}] Following the release of "Hiss", Minaj almost immediately took to [[Instagram Live]] to preview her own song, rapping "Bad bitch, she like 6 foot, I call her [[Bigfoot]]/The bitch fell off, I said 'Get up on your good foot'", referencing the 2020 shooting of Megan by Lanez. On the live, Minaj criticized Megan, saying "You have three [[Grammys]] and you have to learn how to rap on the beat and being comfortable in the music", before mocking her rap flow. Minaj also liked hundreds of tweets from fans talking negatively about Megan, many of which mocked her for the shooting.

''[[Rolling Stone]]'' reported that Minaj posted a 3,100-character diatribe on [[Twitter]] directed at Megan, stating she did not "condone bullying" before calling Megan a "horrible actor that can't cry on cue" and a "pathological and manipulative liar". In the same post, Minaj bragged about the performance of her fifth studio album ''[[Pink Friday 2]]'' (2023) and compared the success of her song "[[Barbie World]]" for ''[[Barbie (film)|Barbie]]'' (2023) to Megan's song "Hell No!" for ''[[The Color Purple (2023 film)|The Color Purple]]'' (2023).
