NICKI DISSES DRAKE AGAIN IN NEW SONG WITH ARIANA GRANDÉ!

The story...

"I give zero fucks, I got zero chill in me" is a line from Nicki Minaj's new verse on "Side to Side," a track on Ariana Grande's album "Dangerous Woman," released Friday (May 20). The queen of rap is not lying when she says she's got zero chill — she's Nicki Minaj, bitch!
The verse, like all of Minaj's verses recently, is a doozy — and it also seems to sneakily reference her ex-pal Drake the way it echoes a verse on "Hype" off his just-released album "Views." For those who thought Nicki and Drake would make up soon, my guess is probs not. 
Minaj has had a low-key year in terms of new music. Yes, she killed her guest verses on Yo Gotti's "Down in the DM (Remix)" and Baby Rexha's "No Broken Hearts" and has hinted at a possibleupcoming mixtape release, but has instead been focusing on giving damn good interviews and demanding respek be put on her name. 
But with this epic response to Drake, we have a feeling the greatest rapper alive is about to be back in full effect soon.
Let's break this down so it's easy to digest:

Okay. So Drake performed his song "Hype" on SNL last weekend (May 14). This is the shady "Hype" verse:


Here are the lyrics to the verse in question.

I hate a rapper especiallyThey feel the same, but they hide itThey just discuss it in privateDon't get along man, we tried itWhat's the point in even tryin'?
I hate a goofy especially
They always dyin' to mention me
They gotta die out eventually
I cannot give you the recipe
You know the game is sold separately
Swear I just had an epiphany
It cost me 50 at Tiffany's
Shout out to Tiffany, Stephanie
They used to always come check for me
My enemies wanna be friends with my other enemies
I don't let it get to me
The music fans at the crowdsourced lyrics database Genius believe Drake is throwing shade towards Travis Scott, who used to date Rihanna, along with Drake's very public enemy, Meek Mill.
In case you live in a different galaxy, Meek is Minaj's boyfriend, and he and Drake have beef. Because of their feud, Drake has admitted that he and Minaj no longer speak. 

Oh, another thing: Drake borrows his "Swear I just had an epiphany/It cost me 50 at Tiffany's" from a verse Minaj rapped on Yo Gotti's "5 Star Chick (Remix)" in 2009:

...further proof that this verse is a Meek Mill diss and, inadvertently, a Minaj one too. 

So this is Minaj's verse on "Side to Side":

All these bitches' flows is my mini-me
Body smoking, so they call me young Nicki chimney
Rappers in they feelings cause they feelin' me
I give zero fucks and I got zero chill in me
Kissing me, copped the blue box that say Tiffany
Curry with the shot, just tell 'em to call me Stephanie
Gun pop and I make my gum pop
I'm the queen of rap, young Ariana run pop

Rappers in they feelings cause they feelin' me," hey?


Drake also alludes to Minaj on other songs on his album, like "Fire & Desire" and "Keep the Family Close." Any rap fan knows that Drake has always had a thing for Minaj — just look back at all the times he's given her shout outs in his past songs. Perhaps this is why beef with Meek began in the first place?

See what she did with that Tiffany line?via GIPHY

"Kissing me, copped the blue box that say Tiffany/
Curry with the shot, just tell 'em to call me Stephanie"
Drake stole her line — so she stole his.

Drake, WTF is good?


Whether the pair's beef is as nasty and deep-seated as the beef between Meek and Drake, it sure is fun AF to follow.
This is why I propose a Nicki Minaj vs Drake cypher. That is, only if Drizzy were up for the challenge.
