‘Your favorite artiste practices satanic rituals, blood sacrifices’

Nicki Minaj has set social media buzzing once again, and this time, it’s not about music.

Hours after becoming the subject of a pointed joke at the 2026 Grammy Awards, the rapper shared a startling and cryptic post on X, alleging that a well-known artiste is linked to what she described as “satanic rituals.”

Without naming anyone, Minaj dropped a long message that immediately sent fans and critics into speculation mode.

Her post read, “Your favorite artiste has been practicing rituals in a satanic cult where they take babies from other countries & mutilate & kill them as a form of a blood sacrifice to their God. You see, when your master is satan, you must constantly shed blood. However, the JIG IS UP.”

The vague but explosive claim has since sparked intense reactions in the comments section, with users pressing Minaj for clarity.

While some speculated about who Nicki was referring to, others began mentioning names in an attempt to connect the dots.

The timing of Minaj’s post raised eyebrows, as it came shortly after she was mentioned during Trevor Noah’s opening monologue at the Grammys on Sunday, February 1.

While addressing the audience at the Crypto.com Arena, Noah pointed out her absence from the ceremony.

“Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here,” Noah, 41, said, drawing loud applause from the crowd.

He followed it up with a political jab, adding, “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”

Noah then launched into a mock impression of the former US President, saying, “Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest a. I have it, everybody’s saying it, Nicki.

“I know they say it’s you, but it’s me WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.”
