For someone who’s only been dropping retail albums since 2010, Nicki Minaj has let the beef cook a surprisingly high amount of times.

And these 13 people who tried Nicki Minaj and lost can attest to what it feels like to have public sentiment turn against you and have to hold that L like a newborn.

Miley Cyrus

Ask Miley, she don’t want it with Nicki….noooo! Those comments in the New York Times got back to Nicki, and suffice it to say, Ms. Miraj responded by throwing all kinds of shade at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Iggy Azalea

Say what you will about “Igloo Australia,” but she knew how to diffuse this beef. While Nicki took some obvious shots, Iggy responded with praise and even gave some words of encouragement backstage.

Taylor Swift

There are too many GIFs of Taylor lip-syncing the words to Nicki Minaj songs offbeat for this to last. All the sub-tweeting from the nominations a few weeks ago ended with them hugging it out onstage.

Some beefs will never die. After the original Queen Bee felt she wasn’t getting her due praise, the beef has been simmering for a few years now.

Safaree

Nicki’s struggly ex-boyfriend apparently wilted in the spotlight. He’s issued a few disses and insinuated writing her raps, but the clock on his 15 minutes of fame is about at 14:59.

With all that talk about Nicki stealing Lil Mama’s swag, Nicki proceeded to do what’s expected to someone with a song named sausage…she ate her for breakfast [no pause necessary].

As Joe himself said, this wasn’t really beef. He made some offhand comments during his podcast, and Nicki and Meek clapped back. Joe recanted, telling MTV it wasn’t all that serious and that he was in support of Nicki and Meek.

Internet Trolls

From that weird “Roman’s Revenge” performance to the poor choice of the “Lookin’ A– N—a” artwork, even when Nicki takes an L, she claps back at cyber trolls dumb quick and kind of still wins.

Bad Medina

Floyd Mayweather’s assistant took it upon herself to throw some shade about a ring Nicki Minaj flossed on Instagram. This was the rare occasion where Meek handled some of his boo’s light work for her.

Little dude stays losing.

Apparently you can’t be out here twerking to a song by Nicki’s ex. After K. Michelle was called “thirsty” for such behavior, she quickly changed course and avoided that beef like the plague.

David Duke

The audacity of a former Klan leader calling Nicki a degenerate isn’t really worth wasting words over. Dude probably had his sheets in a bunch or something.

Hot 97

We can all assume Rosenberg and Funk Flex were given an edict from the top of the Emmis Communications food chain after they slandered the atrocity that was “Starships.”
