Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj has dismissed speculation that she recently aimed criticism at Grammy-winning artist Beyoncé.

The speculation began when Minaj shared, then deleted, a vague tweet that referred to an unnamed individual as a “Robot on timing.”

Although Minaj did not clarify the target of her remark, some fans quickly associated it with Beyoncé.

This speculation was further intensified by recent reports of friction between Minaj and Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, following Minaj's alleged disagreement with his choice of Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show instead of her former label boss, Lil Wayne.

“Nicki Minaj called Beyoncé a Robot,” a social media user claimed, causing the allegations to spread rapidly online.

Minaj promptly tackled the issue at hand. In a straightforward reply to the allegation made in a social media comment, she asserted, “This is an absolute lie,” effectively dispelling the rumor.
