• Nicki Minaj posted disparaging messages about Lizzo on X after Trevor Noah joked about Minaj at the Grammys.
  • Minaj wrote that “Fat Lizzo lost 300 lbs just to sell 300 albums,” and referenced a “weird charge.”
  • The “weird charge” may allude to a civil lawsuit by former dancers; no criminal charges against Lizzo exist.

Nicki’s post on X sparks new public feud

Nicki Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) late on Feb. 1, shortly after the Grammys, to target Lizzo in a string of posts. In one message Minaj wrote: “Fat Lizzo lost 300 lbs just to sell 300 albums. So now she has loose skin AND a flop album, AND a weird charge. Sheesh.”

The posts follow a joke by Grammys host Trevor Noah, who quipped about Minaj’s absence by saying she was “still at the White House with Donald Trump, discussing very important issues.” Minaj responded on X by accusing Noah of concealing his sexuality and sharing a photo of herself in a MAGA-style pink hat.

Embedded post from X

Nicki Minaj (X): “Fat Lizzo lost 300 lbs just to sell 300 albums. So now she has loose skin AND a flop album, AND a weird charge. Sheesh.”

What Minaj may mean by “weird charge”

Minaj did not explicitly define “weird charge” in her posts. Observers have linked the line to the civil lawsuit filed by three former dancers who accused Lizzo of fat-shaming and sexual harassment. In December, the portion of the suit alleging fat‑shaming was dismissed, while allegations related to harassment remain active in civil court. There are no criminal charges against Lizzo tied to that case.

Lizzo’s recent releases and sales context

Lizzo’s last official studio album, Special, was released in 2022. In 2025 she issued a mixtape titled My Face Hurts from Smiling. Minaj’s reference to a “flop album” did not name a specific recent studio album, leaving the comment open to interpretation.

Background: prior public comments and political context

The exchange comes after public scrutiny of Minaj’s political associations. Minaj drew attention in late 2024 and 2025 for appearances that some critics characterized as aligned with MAGA‑leaning events. Lizzo had previously warned that other celebrities might publicly back conservative figures if they found it profitable, saying she wasn’t surprised by such shifts in celebrity political behavior.

Where this leaves both artists

Neither artist has announced further responses beyond the X posts and prior public remarks. The spat adds to an ongoing pattern of clashes between high-profile musicians on social platforms, and it highlights how jokes during awards shows can quickly escalate into public disputes.

This is a developing story. Updates will follow as either artist issues new statements or legal developments emerge.
