Nicki Minaj is on the defensive in her crusade against Megan Thee Stallion, denying allegations that she is using cocaine.
After spending the better part of this past weekend disparaging the Houston rapper on social media, Nicki faced suggestions that she was on drugs, with one X user accusing her of being on a “coke rant.”

In response, Nicki shut down the claim and clarified that she has “never done coke in [her] life.”
“Whenever you see the words ‘coke rant’ you know they mad,” she wrote. “If y’all hear how loud I’m laughing [laughing emojis]. I’ve never done coke in my life. But if I did, I’d do it proudly.”
This isn’t the first time that the “Roman’s Revenge” spitter has been accused of using cocaine. Back in 2021, people couldn’t help but notice her constant sniffles during an Instagram Live session, prompting rumors of drug use.
Azealia Banks, who’s never afraid to speak her mind, was among the many wondering if Nicki had done cocaine prior to her broadcast.

“Girl, if you sniffle one more time on this muthafuckin’ Live, sis,” Banks said. “The Barbz, y’all need to check her on that. No, we have to talk about that sniffling, Nicki. You not low. Please stop sniffling, sis.
“That shit is not even cute no more. Cocaine is not even cocaine no more. Once they locked El Chapo up, bitch, the original formula is gone.

Nicki responded: “I don’t know if it’s just me, but I wouldn’t be embarrassed about any fuckin’ drugs I did. That’s why I talk about the muthafuckin’ drugs I do in my muthafuckin’ music. Always have, always fuckin’ will. If I’m off ’em, I’m off ’em, child.
“But I want to make this clear so open everybody’s ears, clear them ears out. I have never, ever in my life with my hands on Jesus Christ — and y’all know how I feel about my Lord and savior — never in my life, ever, not even once sniffed coke. Ever.”
Late last year, the Young Money hitmaker revealed that she did briefly struggle with an opioid addiction.
Speaking to Vogue, whose December issue she covered, Nicki detailed how she was prescribed Percocet for menstrual pain and quickly became hooked.

“No one told me that this was a narcotic and this was addictive. Luckily I was able to ground myself. But — once an addict, always an addict,” she said.
“I feel like if you’ve ever experienced addiction to anything, which I have, you always have to think twice and three times about the choices that you make.”

Of course, these latest rumors stem from Nicki Minaj’s bitter feud with Megan Thee Stallion, which was sparked by the latter seemingly dissing Nicki on her single “Hiss.”
Following a stream of scathing social media posts, Nicki fired back on Monday (January 29) with “Big Foot,” which she says is the first of five diss songs.

“Big Foot” finds the Queens native making a number of lurid accusations about Megan, spitting: “How you fuck your mother man when she die?/ How you go on Gayle King and can’t cry? Chile, bye/ Big foot, but you still a small fry/ Swearing on your dead mother when you lie.”
