"How could four different artists all lose approximately 30 million listeners OR streams in the last couple months while actively releasing music and/or touring?" Minaj posted.
She accused the artists of using underhanded means to inflate their streaming numbers, just days after initially criticizing SZA for other reasons.
Previously, Minaj had mocked SZA's appearance and career, telling her to "go draw your freckles back on," and unfavorably comparing her voice to "a fkng dead dog," she said.
The tension seemingly escalated from SZA's cryptic comments on Mercury Retrograde, which Minaj interpreted as a jab.
SZA, however, appeared unfazed by Minaj's initial provocations. "I don't give a f*ck bout none of that weird sh*t you popping," SZA responded.
"Lmao lemme go back to being calm, shy, and meek. Y'all have a blessed night! See you tomorrow for night 2 Paris!"
Minaj also accused Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez of trying to exploit her influence. "It's been tough for you & Desiree Perez now that you can't use my fans & me anymore, huh?" she tweeted.
As of now, SZA, Jay-Z, and Perez have not publicly responded to Minaj's latest remarks.
