Nicki Minaj Disses Kanye West At Essence Festival

Nicki Minaj shocked many during her performance at the Essence Festival when she seemingly dissed Kanye West.

The rapper was performing her verse on ‘Monster’ when she cut the song off and had a message afterwards, telling the crowd “I don’t mess with clowns.”.

Many believe the diss was aimed directly at West for collaborating with Cardi B and Lil Durk on ‘Hot Shit’ which dropped Friday.
