Here’s Every Heated Moment Between Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill Since Their Breakup

They always say the hottest love has the coldest end, don’t they?

According to early reports from TMZ, the former couple—affectionately referred to by fans as Omeeka—got into a huge blowout while on vacation in 2017, making for the final straw in their relationship. Sources connected to the pair said that Nicki had complained to Meek that he wasn’t showing her enough attention, with which he responded to by simply leaving the island in anger. Nicki reportedly broke up with him a short time later.

The exchange seemingly happened after Meek liked a meme poking fun at Petty on Instagram, which prompted a response from Minaj on the same platform. After calling her ex a clown on her IG Story, she made allegations of domestic abuse, which was the first time she’d ever alluded to such a serious matter with Meek.

Meek’s responses were just as serious, alleging that Minaj was aware of the heinous acts her older brother engaged in with a minor before  he was formally charged with predatory sexual assault against a child. While Meek denied the abuse claims Minaj accused him of, she also denied Meek’s claims and alleged that her brother’s charges stem from an extortion plot.

The spat follows an in-person altercation in January, when the pair crossed paths at a West Hollywood, Calif. shopping store during the 2020 Grammy Awards weekend.

As the drama has everyone reflecting on some of their other intense moments, XXL compiles a list of all of the most heated moments Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have had since their split in January of 2017.

Meek Mill Claims Certain Blogs Are on Nicki Minaj’s Payroll

March 2017

Just months after their confirmed split, Meek apparently felt that he had the short end of the stick in regards to media coverage of himself and Nicki. In a since-deleted Instagram post, the Dreamchasers rapper accused his ex of employing people like social media marketer Karen Civil to purposely put out bad press on him and conversely, only paint Nicki in a positive light.

“Y’all bum ass Internet hoes being paid by Nicki lol to try to discredit my name,” Meek wrote with a picture that tagged both Nicki and Karen. “By the way Karen I got the tapes of ya corny ass saying Nicki paying ya corny ass Nicki paying y’all for this geek shit…after all I did for ya nut ass y’all sold y’all souls for a few bands…Why y’all don’t post about that man molesting that lil girl? Oh I forgot y’all on payroll.”

Meek Mill’s Crew Get in Altercation With Safaree

June 2017

During the 2017 BET Awards Weekend in Los Angeles, video surfaced of Nicki’s ex-boyfriend Safaree being jumped outside of a DJ Khaled day party while Meek Mill is nearby. In the clip, Safaree can be seen speaking to a few people while Meek exits a nearby vehicle. Then out of nowhere, someone swings on Safaree and he runs off.

Following the melee, Safaree accused Meek of setting him up in an Instagram video.

“Listen, straight up, I hopped out the whip. Saw Meek, he hopped out the whip. Then I just got snuck,” Safaree said. “Niggas jumped me. A whole bunch of niggas. Meek, you are the biggest pussy on this planet. You saw me. You ain’t do shit. You got your niggas to jump me. One-on-one, you can’t fuck with me. So that’s why you had to do that. Niggas caught me from the back. Niggas caught me from the side. All that.”

Meek later denied the claims when asked about the fight by TMZ, telling paparazzi, “Ain’t no beef. I don’t know how they got us confused with that type stuff.”

Meek Mill Upset With Nicki Minaj for Speaking on Jail Case

May 2018

During an interview with The Breakfast Club, Meek Mill was asked about Nicki Minaj commenting on his then-ongoing case with Judge Genece Brinkley and expressed his disdain for how his ex-girlfriend handled it.

“I wasn’t feeling that. [Nicki] shouldn’t have said nothing and we leave it at that,” Meek said. “I don’t feel no way… when it comes to freedom, I don’t care who it is—this could be Safaree, this could be anybody—if I know something, and that man’s freedom is on the line and I could say something to help the situation, I’m gonna say it. If I don’t say it, I just won’t say nothing.”

Meek’s response was in reference to a comment Nicki had made the month prior during an April 2018 interview with Zane Lowe. Despite the publicized issues that Meek claimed to be having with Brinkley at the time, Nicki refused to criticize her.

“The judge in question did everything I asked of her, so I can’t bad mouth her ’cause I met her personally and I know what she said to us and [Meek] knows that,” Minaj said.
