Nicki Minaj has once again found herself at the centre of controversy, this time after reposting a viral interview involving serious allegations against Roc Nation and its CEO, Desiree Perez. The repost has reignited conspiracy claims that the entertainment company has been actively working to sabotage the rapper’s personal and professional life.
The interview in question features Demoree Hadley, the estranged daughter of Desiree Perez, who is currently embroiled in a legal battle with her mother. Hadley has filed a lawsuit accusing Perez of forcibly committing her to a mental health facility. In the emotional and wide-ranging interview, Hadley claims Roc Nation has gone to extreme lengths to damage Nicki Minaj’s reputation, including allegedly targeting her husband, Kenneth Petty, and their young child.
“Roc Nation abused [Minaj’s] freedom of speech,” Hadley stated during the interview. “If it’s happening to me, it’s happening to her.” She urged the public to pay closer attention to what she described as a pattern of abuse of power and control by Roc Nation, asserting that the company uses its industry influence to manipulate narratives and silence dissenting voices.
Nicki Minaj amplified the interview by reposting it on her X (formerly Twitter) account, where she also commented in support of Hadley’s claims. “Hopefully Demoree’s MASSIVE & detailed page by page claim gets you all the way caught up… NEVER call me a liar… Vengeance is the Lord’s,” Minaj wrote.
Nicki Minaj Fuels Roc Nation Controversy with Viral Repost Supporting CEO’s Daughter’s Allegations
The 42-year-old rapper’s post immediately went viral, sparking heated online debates and further fuelling speculation about a long-standing rift between Nicki Minaj and some of the industry’s most powerful entities. The Barbz — Minaj’s fiercely loyal fanbase — quickly rallied behind her, with many echoing concerns about industry politics, gatekeeping, and alleged attempts to mute or malign the rapper.
This is not the first time Minaj has accused prominent figures or platforms of trying to undermine her career. In recent weeks, she has publicly alleged that she was shadowbanned on social media, that her accounts were hacked, and that coordinated efforts were made to break up her marriage. While she hasn’t directly named Roc Nation in all previous claims, the reposted interview and accompanying statement suggest that she believes the entertainment giant has played a role in her struggles.
Meanwhile, Desiree Perez has responded to her daughter’s allegations by filing a countersuit, denying the accusations and maintaining that any actions taken were in her daughter’s best interest. However, the legal feud between mother and daughter has added another layer of complexity to an already high-profile controversy involving some of the biggest names in the music industry.
As of now, Roc Nation has not issued an official public statement in response to Minaj’s recent comments or Hadley’s interview. The company has historically remained tight-lipped about social media controversies, choosing instead to address issues through legal channels.
Minaj’s accusations, particularly those involving her family, have struck a chord with many of her fans who feel that she has been unfairly targeted for years. Some online commentators have drawn parallels between her situation and other high-profile cases where artists have clashed with major industry players, reigniting debates about power dynamics in the entertainment world.
Despite the ongoing drama, Nicki Minaj continues to maintain a strong digital presence and an active fanbase. Her most recent album, Pink Friday 2, released in December 2023, received commercial success and was praised for showcasing her lyrical skill and musical versatility. While no new projects have been officially announced, Minaj remains vocal and influential in both music and pop culture conversations.
As the legal battles unfold and speculation continues, all eyes are now on Roc Nation’s next move — and whether Nicki Minaj will continue to speak out or shift her focus back to her music. What’s clear is that, once again, Minaj has managed to spark a major cultural conversation, blurring the lines between personal narrative, industry politics, and public advocacy.
