Dez Bryant considers suing Nicki Minaj after explosive social media feud

NFL star Dez Bryant and rapper Nicki Minaj are at the center of an explosive online feud that has captivated both the sports and entertainment worlds.

The drama began when Bryant defended Jay-Z and Roc Nation after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones blamed the agency for past contract issues involving linebacker Micah Parsons.

Nicki Minaj, who has been publicly feuding with Roc Nation and CEO Desiree Perez, unexpectedly jumped in. She responded to Bryant’s post on X (formerly Twitter) with a warning, saying she would begin sharing her own “story time” if he continued speaking about Jay-Z and the NFL.

Things quickly turned personal. Minaj brought up Bryant’s 2012 domestic violence charge involving his mother, an accusation he strongly denied. Bryant fired back by mentioning Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender.

The feud escalated when Minaj offered Bryant $10 million to fight Petty, writing, “since you beat your own mom.” In response, Bryant rejected the accusation and challenged Minaj to produce the money, calling the entire situation “weird.”

Following days of public exchanges, Bryant returned to social media to apologize for his role in the feud. He expressed regret for “crashing out,” saying he wants to set a better example for young followers.

Bryant also hinted at possible legal action, stating, “We might have to go step in front of the court of law,” in response to Minaj’s public claims.

The feud has sparked viral attention, bringing new scrutiny to the ongoing tension between Roc Nation and its critics.
