Nicki Minaj and former NFL star Dez Bryant are embroiled in a fiery Twitter feud, with personal jabs flying openly.
It all began when Dez Bryant, previously of the Dallas Cowboys, criticized team owner Jerry Jones over management and contract dealings. Enter Nicki Minaj, who, without hesitation, jumped into the fray.
Minaj took to Twitter, writing, “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,” she wrote, threatening to unveil stories involving Roc Nation, Jay-Z, and Desiree Perez.
The spat intensified as Minaj dragged into the conversation a sensitive topic: Bryant’s alleged altercation with his mother. She unleashed harsh words, saying, “Go beat your mom & then ask Desiree Perez & Jay-Z why they’ve been vile…don’t beat your mom. Im sure she loved you once.”
Bryant didn’t shy away, coming back with a fierce defense. He denied the allegations and shifted focus to Minaj’s controversial marriage, posting, “Say I didn’t go to jail or touch my mama…I was dealing with some corrupt shit in Dallas… I don’t get how you can even be on the internet with your husband being a sex offender.”
Not backing down, Minaj offered Bryant $10 million to fight her husband, Kenneth Petty, adding more heat to the argument: “I’m so happy you brought this up. I’ll give you 10 million in cash if you’d come & fight him since you BEAT UR OWN MOM.”
Bryant swiftly accepted the challenge, expressing his willingness to face Petty in a confrontation: “Go get that 10 million in cash…I’ll stomp that guy out right in front of you.. and it’s ROC for life.”
After the heated exchange, Bryant took a moment to address his younger fans, acknowledging his lapse and apologizing: “I apologize to the kids who follow me because I care about setting the right example more than you know… you can make it through anything if you put your mind to it.”
The back-and-forth between Minaj and Bryant was intense and personal. While initially sparked by football politics, the argument quickly turned to personal histories and challenges. As tempers cool, it’s a reminder of the unpredictable nature of social media exchanges.
