Soulja Boy Claps Back at Nicki Minaj Over “Undercover” Jab: Denies Gay Rumors, Accuses Her of Leaking Tape and Exposes Addiction Struggles

Los Angeles, CA – March 10, 2025

The hip-hop world is buzzing after Soulja Boy (DeAndre Way) unleashed a fiery response to Nicki Minaj, accusing her of leaking an alleged “gay tape” amid resurfaced rumors about his sexuality. The drama ignited during a tense Instagram Live where Minaj pressed Soulja about “undercover brothers” in the industry, leaving him visibly rattled. In retaliation, Soulja has dragged up whispers of Minaj’s past Percocet addiction, suggesting she leaked damaging footage to deflect from her own issues. As old allegations from Jaguar Wright, Vivica A. Fox, and alleged ex-lovers resurface, the feud highlights the toxic underbelly of rap’s rumor mill—where personal lives become public weapons. Neither artist has confirmed a tape’s existence, but the online fallout has reignited debates on sexuality, addiction, and industry secrets.

The IG Live Spark: Minaj’s Probing Question Leaves Soulja Squirming

It all started on a casual Instagram Live earlier this month, where Minaj and Soulja chopped it up about the music game. Things took a sharp turn when Minaj, 42, zeroed in on a hot-button topic: “Do you think it’s a lot of undercover brothers in the industry?” Soulja, 33, froze—his laughter forced, his response evasive: “Oh no, queen. We don’t know nothing about undercovers. I don’t know… We don’t know about that.” Minaj pressed: “Cuz I do.” The exchange, now viewed millions of times, felt loaded. Fans noted Soulja’s nervous shift, speculating Minaj—fresh off her Meek Mill romance—was dropping hints from insider tea, possibly tied to Diddy’s infamous parties where Soulja has been spotted.

Minaj’s question wasn’t random; it’s echoed long-standing industry chatter about closeted rappers. Soulja’s discomfort? It poured gasoline on years of rumors, pulling old clips and claims back into the spotlight. “She knew what she was doing—putting him on blast in front of millions,” one fan tweeted. Soulja later accused Minaj of orchestrating the moment to expose him, claiming she leaked a compromising video to “line him up” like her foes.

Resurfaced Rumors: From Diddy Parties to Alleged Lovers’ Confessions

Soulja’s history with sexuality speculation dates back years, amplified by his OnlyFans (catering to male fans) and party footage. Clips from Diddy’s events show a shirtless Soulja dancing provocatively, fueling theories of a “double life.” Enter Jaguar Wright, the outspoken singer who in 2024 claimed Soulja and 50 Cent were intimate: “How about we line you up everything you did with Soulja Boy?… I’ve spoken to two men he’s lived in cells with.” Wright alleged seeing a private video and accused 50 of introducing Soulja to the “DL lifestyle.” The bombshell tied into a 2010 XXL cover where a shirtless Soulja posed in front of a stern 50 Cent—now retroactively dubbed “man and his boy toy.”

Vivica A. Fox added fuel in a 2017 interview post her 50 Cent breakup, shading his homophobic rants: “The pot calling the kettle black.” She hinted at his “confusion,” making the cover look even more suspect. “He’s got something that’s not quite clear,” Fox said coyly.

The most explosive claims came from alleged ex-lovers. In a viral video, one man (claiming to be 19) detailed a “situationship” with Soulja: gifts like a puppy and Gucci bag to buy silence, plus intimate encounters. “You got to stop pretending like you not gay… People have been hurt,” he said, waving goodbye to the pup: “Say bye, Soulja Boy.” Another, William, spilled on Tasha K’s show, describing hookups with race play elements: “He pulls his dick out… That thing was big, Tasha… It goes to the left.” William claimed Soulja approached him boldly, spoiling him to keep quiet, but ended it over the secrecy: “He’s living one way in public… completely different behind closed doors.”

Soulja denied it all on IG Live, swearing dramatically: “God, strike me down if I’m lying… All my hoes know. I’ll be fing the s out they ass.” But his calm demeanor—uncharacteristic for his explosive style—only heightened suspicions. “He’s deflecting,” critics said.

Deflection Drama: Soulja’s Homophobic Rant at Marlon Wayans

As rumors swirled, Soulja pivoted to beef, targeting Marlon Wayans over his transgender son, Kai (who came out in 2023). In deleted tweets, Soulja hurled slurs at Kai and mocked Wayans’ support: “If Soulja Boy had a career, he could get cancelled… Luckily, he ain’t been relevant since 2007.” Wayans fired back: “I need crack and meth together… I want someone to look like they’ll sell your car, rob you, and suck your soul at the same time. Soulja Boy.” Soulja escalated, calling Wayans a b**** and threatening violence: “I’ll knock your ass out… You suck d*** to get in your position.”

The exchange drew backlash for its homophobia, especially amid Soulja’s own allegations. “This is deflection 101,” one analyst noted. Wayans, promoting family acceptance, trolled further but stood firm. Soulja’s history of erratic beefs (from 21 Savage to his own team) made the timing reek of distraction.

The Retaliation Twist: Soulja Exposes Minaj’s Addiction?

Soulja didn’t stop at denials—he flipped the script on Minaj. Sources claim he leaked info about her Percocet addiction, forcing her hand. In a recent Vogue interview, Minaj confessed to abusing the painkiller (prescribed for cramps) without realizing its grip: “Once you’ve experienced addiction, it never really leaves you.” She linked it to her father’s crack struggles, admitting use beyond pain and crediting sobriety to grounding herself.

The timing? Suspicious. Minaj’s reveal came days after the Live, amid Soulja’s panic. “She pressed him, so he hit back where it hurts,” a insider whispered. Minaj’s past—canceled tours, erratic tweets—has long sparked addiction talk, but her openness felt preempted. Soulja hasn’t directly claimed credit, but his posts shading “addicts in the industry” fueled speculation.

Hip-Hop’s Dirty Laundry: Sexuality, Secrets, and Survival

This feud exposes rap’s undercurrents: homophobia masking personal truths, addiction’s quiet toll, and how stars weaponize rumors. Soulja’s denials ring hollow against detailed claims; Minaj’s confession, while brave, smells of damage control. As Jaguar Wright and others pile on, the question lingers: Who’s next? For Soulja, relevance since “Crank That” (2007) hinges on chaos— but at what cost? Minaj, ever the Barbz queen, stays unbothered publicly. In an industry built on facades, this blowup reminds us: The tea is always hotter behind closed doors.
