Nicki Minaj isn’t afraid to address any drama, especially on social media, even if it isn’t about her. With Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain feuding, she has a lot to say
Nicki Minaj has inserted herself into the Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain feud with her recent posts on X, formerly Twitter.
The award-winning rapper is trying not to take sides, but she cant help but like Lanas diss track against Ethel, All About Ethel. In the record, the dark pop songstress takes aim at the fellow alt pop singer, singing, Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post, think its cute re-enacting my Chicago pose.
Living for the mess, Nicki gives her opinion on Ethel and Lanas ongoing beef, specifically addressing Lanas now-viral song that took shots at Ethel. “Ive been singing Ethel cain hated my instagram post all morning. Help!!!!! Nicki wrote in one of her many X posts about the drama.
And something about the Waffle House & a picture w/some boy? But how can a melody & instruments & background vocals & the mixing be so good that Im walking around all day talking about a person named Ethel who I do not know hating an instagram post I never even posted? HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Im sure Ethel is a nice person. *hums the melody again & drifts off into this somber state whilst looking off into the horizon, she continued.
Nickis Waffle House comment was regarding what Lana mentioned in the shady record about Ethel, in which the Summertime Sadness singer sang about the most famous girl in the Waffle House.
Lanas reference could be a callback to a 2022 New York Times profile of Ethel, titled The Most Famous Girl in the Waffle House, or it could be a double entendre, where Lana is claiming that she is The Most Famous Girl in the Waffle House, i.e., the real Queen B.
In 2023, Lana went viral on the internet after a picture of her working at a Waffle House in Alabama surfaced online.
Nicki weighed in on the feud quite a bit, writing in another post, and there ya have it. Lana has me singing about a person named Ethel Cain due to this DOPE melody, vocal & instrumentation.
It just made me think how many times ppl were probably PROUDLY rapping someones name in one of my songs & had no clue who or what I was talking about.
While she seemed to be on Lana’s side, Nicki didn’t completely forget when Lana came for her along with other big-name pop stars years ago.
“Remember that time Lana dissed all the girlies but we had no idea why but none of us said anything back? Lmaooooo not we let Lana walk in the lunchroom & run EVERYBODY pockets wit no weapon & no gang & said not one thing about it. Lmfaooooo. AYO I fkng love this s- -t yo,” Nicki wrote on X. She was referring to when Lana slighted Nicki, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, in an audacious assessment of them in a social media post she shared in 2020.
Now that the Super Bass rapper has given her opinion on Lana and Ethels battle against each other, fans on social media are now reacting to Nickis thoughts.
One thing about nicki is that if she hears beef she will be there YESTERDAY, one fan joked, as another added, Nicki need to host a podcast and bring all beefs to her.
Another remarked, If Nickis involved, this beef just got promoted to a full course meal.
Lana mightve ignited the feud with her song All About Ethel, but their rivalry has seemingly been brewing for some time.
Over the years, news media outlets have often compared Ethel and Lana to each other, given that they have similar music styles.
Ethel has made it clear that she prefers not to be lumped in with Lana, as she sees it as a lazy assessment.
“I love Lana and I love her music but theres a hundred other things at play here. If thats an entry way for a review, thats fine. But sometimes people arrive at Lana Del Rey and stop at Lana Del Rey, Ethel said in an interview with i-D. “And yeah, I called it lazy writing because its lazy for me and her. I think its kind of a detriment to the expansive work of two female artists to just reduce them to being similar to each other.
