Nicki Minaj has made explosive and unsubstantiated allegations against Beyoncé and Jay-Z during a social media tirade on Grammy Awards night, accusing the couple of child trafficking without providing evidence.
The 42-year-old rapper posted multiple messages on X claiming the A-list pair are “sacrificing children as a way of gaining & maintaining power”. She did not share documentation or proof to support the serious accusations.
Minaj wrote: “Are y’all understanding that these ppl (people) have been sacrificing children as a way of gaining & maintaining power? If you ever vote Demoncrat (Democrat) again, you’re just as soulless as they are & will perish.”
The multi-award-winning artist threatened to reveal undisclosed information about the couple, stating: “Maybe it’s time for me to do some story times – since I was trying to not say what I know – yet they continue to attempt bullying.”
Her posts also announced she would withhold her upcoming album until contract renegotiations are complete. “I won’t be releasing an album until my contract is renegotiated & until I tell you about all the sabotage this Rico is finding out about Billboard,” she added.
Minaj followed up with additional unverified claims alleging the Carters sabotaged her documentary because she exposed how they allegedly abused her. She also made assertions about age gaps in Jay-Z’s past relationships and claimed he began dating Beyoncé when she was a minor, providing no evidence for these statements.
The rapper referenced Jay-Z’s mention in recent Epstein file releases during her tirade, though she did not elaborate on any connection between that and her trafficking allegations.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been frequent targets of Minaj’s social media posts, particularly throughout 2025. The couple has not addressed any of her accusations since she began making claims against them.
Minaj’s latest outburst adds to a growing pattern of conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated allegations she has shared on social media platforms in recent months. Her posts have targeted various individuals in the entertainment industry.
Representatives for Beyoncé and Jay-Z have not issued statements responding to the accusations. The couple’s consistent silence suggests a strategy of not engaging with the allegations publicly.
