Popular rapper Nicki Minaj and former Cowboys star Dez Bryant are in a bitter online feud filled with personal jabs, past controversies, and even a $10 million fight challenge.
What began as a contract standoff between Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and team owner Jerry Jones has taken a dramatic and unexpected turn.
The controversy began when Jerry Jones accused Dez Bryant and Roc Nation founder Jay-Z of ghosting him after agreeing in principle to a contract deal years ago, a claim both Bryant and Roc Nation swiftly denied. Bryant responded by warning Jones to “back off” or risk having the full story come out.
Though not directly involved in the NFL saga, Minaj, who has a separate, ongoing feud with Roc Nation, saw an opening and inserted herself into the conversation.
In a tweet directed at Bryant, she wrote:
“How about we play a game? Every time you do a ‘Jerry Jones’ or ‘NFL’ story time, I’ll do a ‘story time’ of my own.”
Bryant replied with a GIF captioned, “I want to play a game.”
Minaj fired back:
“All my stories will be about ROC NATION, JAYZ & THE ALLEGED RACIST DESIREE PEREZ, ROC NATION CEO. I hope you fully understand the rules. It’s your turn.”
