Stephen A. Smith had to know that Nicki Minaj was going to respond after he laid into her for dissing Jay-Z.
He did it on a recent episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show after Nicki called Jay a sellout for picking Kendrick Lamar, and not Lil Wayne, to play the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.
"Who else you going to get in a beef with?"Stephen asked Nicki. "Lil' Kim, Mariah Carey, Cardi B, Gucci Mane? Everytime we turn around it’s something, Nicki. You disagree with the decision, but you have to talk to a brother like that? And why are we talking about Jay-Z like he’s some damn sellout or something?"
Oh look yall another paid laughy taffy alien who only comes off his knees to turn around & back dat azz up. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Stephen, we don’t care. Ima tell u right now. We don’t care. If I say more it’ll be your fault. 🤨 Sit down ugly 😅🤣 #GagCityBUFFALO TONIGHT #Dtlr https://t.co/qFNq19DafN

"Oh look yall another paid laughy taffy alien who only comes off his knees to turn around & back dat azz up," Nicki tweeted." LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Stephen, we don’t care. Ima tell u right now. We don’t care. If I say more it’ll be your fault."
She then confused Stephen with Shannon Sharpe, who made headlines this week for having sex on IG Live.

And since we here in women’s business…ladies; when should men just shave their full head? Should it take its normal course like SAS Sassy ass or should he look into lace fronts? #GagCityBuffalo TONIGHT
"Stephen wasn’t you just moanin & groanin on live in your bedroom? LMFAOOOO," wrote Nicki. "And since we here in women’s business…ladies; when should men just shave their full head? Should it take its normal course like SAS Sassy a*s or should he look into lace fronts?"
Now it'll be Stephen's turn to clap back, which he'll probably do at some point.
