According to Minaj, she was offered $1 million to sign with Tidal within 24 hours, significantly less than what other co-owners reportedly received during Square's 2021 acquisition. Steve Stoute, Jay-Z's associate, claimed Minaj missed out on millions by not signing, which she dismissed as a "silencing" tactic.

In a recent social media post, Minaj questioned if Jay-Z and Stoute were aware of abuse allegations involving Diddy, particularly concerning teenagers and children. This comes amid Diddy's federal investigation for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

"We want to know if u were present during abuse of teenagers & children. That's what we wanna know," Minaj tweeted, directly addressing the controversy surrounding Diddy's alleged misconduct.

The dispute has sparked widespread discussion about power dynamics in the music industry, with many supporters questioning the transparency of major deals and the accountability of industry leaders. Minaj's statements have particularly resonated with audiences concerned about artist vulnerability and industry oversight.

These revelations have intensified public scrutiny of both the Tidal deal and the broader implications of Diddy's allegations, suggesting this controversy may have lasting implications for industry practices and accountability.
