Nicki Minaj Appears to Cut Ties With Ice Spice and JT on Instagram

Nicki Minaj has seemingly ended ties with Ice Spice and JT from the City Girls after eagle-eyed fans noticed the rap icon unfollowed both artists on Instagram.

The surprising move, which fans spotted, fueled speculation about tension between the Young Money legend and her collaborators. Despite this, as of now, both Ice Spice and JT still follow Nicki on the platform, suggesting the situation may be one-sided.

Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice: A Complicated Relationship

Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice had previously appeared close, working together on major hits like “Princess Diana” and the Barbie-inspired chart-topper “Barbie World.” However, Ice Spice revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone last month that their relationship isn’t as close as fans assumed.

“We don’t have the closest relationship, you know? But we’re definitely good. We’re mutuals. We had smash records together. I love us together. I think the world does too,” Ice Spice shared candidly.

Despite the misunderstanding, Ice Spice maintained her respect for Nicki Minaj. “Regardless of how I felt in that moment, [Nicki] is still somebody I respect as an artist, and I’m always going to admire everything she’s done for me and the culture,” she clarified.

Tension With JT of the City Girls Resurfaces

The situation between Nicki Minaj and JT has been more overtly contentious. Although it seemed like they had moved past their differences, lingering issues appear to have resurfaced.

Years ago, a diss track aimed at Nicki Minaj from JT and her City Girls partner Yung Miami surfaced online, causing a rift. Nicki addressed this in a 2022 interview with The Morning Hustle, explaining why it was hard for her to collaborate with people who’ve publicly criticized her.

“The thing is, whenever you post something on the internet, it’s there forever. Whenever you say something in an interview, it’s there forever,” Nicki stated.

Fans React to the Fallout

Fans are now speculating about what may have triggered Nicki Minaj to sever her online connections with both Ice Spice and JT. Some believe the move is rooted in business disagreements, while others see it as Nicki drawing boundaries after feeling disrespected in the past.

While this situation remains ambiguous, it’s clear that Nicki Minaj is taking a step back from certain industry relationships. For now, fans will be watching closely to see if any of the parties address the unfollowing publicly—or if it marks the end of these collaborations altogether.

Both Ice Spice and JT have enjoyed significant success alongside Nicki, but as the Queen of Rap has made clear before, respect and loyalty are non-negotiable in her book. Whether this fallout is temporary or permanent remains to be seen.

On social media, fans have mixed reactions:

• “Nicki probably felt the energy wasn’t genuine. She always talks about loyalty.”
• “JT and Ice Spice both benefited from Nicki’s cosign, but maybe the vibes changed.”
• “It’s not that deep! Nicki’s just cleaning up her list—y’all read into everything.”
