I’ll be honest, Khloé Kardashian and Nicki Minaj aren’t two names I was expecting to write in the same sentence anytime soon.
Needless to say, I’m just as surprised to be here as you are. Basically, we’re in this together.
As long as I’m confessing things, I’ll admit that I was pretty worried when I heard that Nicki had rapped about Khloé.
I love Nicki Minaj to death, but I would not want to be on her bad side. Just ask Miley Cyrus.
Anyway, I’m not aware of bad blood between her and Khloé, but still, I was concerned for the girl.
Luckily, my anxieties were soothed when I heard the song.
Nicki mentions Khloé in her collab with 6ix9ine and Murda Beatz, called “FEFE.”
In the song, 6ix9ine is announced as the “King of New York, looking for the queen” and Nicki is happy to offer herself up.

6ix9ine’s first verse is just about what you’d expect.
He raps about hooking up with a woman, but seemingly having some regrets about it.
“I don’t even know like ‘Why I did that?’ I don’t even know like ‘Why I hit that?'”
He then goes on to pump himself up, bragging about how real of a gangster he is.
While holding an adorable Pomeranian, he brags about calling “a Uber with my shooter, with a Ruger, we gon’ do ya” and follows up, claiming that other people “say they killin’ people, but I really f*****’ do it.”
But that’s not what you’re here for, is it?
Nah, we want to see Nicki’s verse, and hear what she had to say about long-suffering Khloé. What kind of savagery did she have in store?
At this point, Nicki came in with her verse, showing why she’s the woman that 6ix9ine’s been waiting for.
“He-he tryna 69 like Tekashi, call him papi,” raps Nicki. “Word to A$AP, keep me Rocky, I’m from New York, so I’m cocky.”
The next lines dropped the Khloé reference.
Nicki knows her worth, though, and expects the best treatment to keep her interested.
“Say he f*****’ with my posse, copped me Chloé like Kardashi’ Keep this p**** in Versace, said I’m pretty like Tinashe.”
So it turns out that the reference wasn’t a dig at all.
I mean, she’s saying that it’s important that no one tries to keep her from her posse, and Khloé’s definitely known for her fierce loyalty to her family. Plus, y’know, Chloé clothing can get it.
And even though she’s not rapping that Khloé herself is as “pretty as Tinashe,” it’s terrific company to be in.
Because, yeah, Tinashe is stunning, and being listed next to her like that is definitely a compliment.
You were expecting some serious shade, weren’t you?
Come on, people, will we ever be able to enjoy a positive story in the same way that we enjoy messy celeb drama?
…No? We won’t? Fine .
We can still take some pleasure in Khloé’s response, I’m sure.
‘Cause she loooooooooooooooved it!
Technically, Nicki’s line was a double entendre for both the French clothing designer, Chloé, and the Kardashian herself.
But if Nicki Minaj phonetically mentioned my name in song — heck, if she burped my name — I’d be pretty freakin’ ecstatic.
And all of Khloé’s fans proved to be just as excited about the name drop as she was.
To put these tweets into one, big, happy tweet:
“Congrats Khlo, heard the song! We stan queens supporting queens in FEFE!”
If we’re being totally honest, not everybody was a fan of the song, or how people were calling it out.
Then again, Nicki’s fans are just about always going to get the last word.
Then again, you can’t really have a conversation involving Nicki without another certain rapper coming up.
I’m pretty sure if Nicki built an orphanage, someone would still come through saying that Cardi built one first or better.
Not sure what I’m talking about?
In case it’s been a minute since you peeped the drama of the hip hop world, here’s a quick rundown about the beef between Nicki and Cardi B.
The much more dramatic drama between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B also started during a rap collab.
In this case, it was on the song “MotorSport” by Migos, featuring both Nicki and Cardi.
The two rappers provided verses to the song, and that’s where the beef started.
On Cardi’s side, she promoted the theory that Nicki went back and re-recorded her verse after hearing how good Cardi’s was.
Nicki, on the other hand, felt that Cardi didn’t show enough respect for the opportunity to work with her.
“I’m not saying it in a cocky way,” she said on Beats 1 (via US Magazine ), “I’m saying it, like, the first thing out of your mouth when somebody asks you about a Nicki Minaj feature is, ‘She changed her verse.’ Excuse me?”
Then, their fight took to Twitter.
Cardi congratulated Kodak Black for being released from prison. A Twitter user named @beylovesnicki called out the tweet, saying that it doesn’t reflect well on her as a mother.
Which, fine, except Nicki ended up Liking that tweet.
And Cardi, understandably, took that very personally, feeling like it was inappropriate for Nicki to comment on her parenting.
Next thing you know, Cardi and Nicki are getting into it at a party.
Cardi was seen leaving the party, with a smug look on her face, a knock on her head, and a missing shoe.
So that’s our wrap-up of their drama.
And, just in case you’re curious about how Tinashe took *her* namedrop on “FEFE,” here’s what that looked like.
Can I also say that, all drama aside, that album art is adorable?
In fact, most people seemed to thing that it’s time to see Nicki do another collab, this time with Tinashe.
And, honestly, would listen.
And no, I’m not sorry that this Khloé story didn’t have more drama.
Sometimes you just need a nice, palate-cleansing celebrity interaction to break up the pattern of drama and shade.
