The on-going beef between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion may have just gotten a bit more steam thanks to a new ad that involves one of Megan’s foes.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the “Gag City” rapper had released another shoe as a part of her collaboration with LØCI shoe line, per Complex. And while that in and of itself isn’t messy, what was messy was the person she enlisted to help advertise the new release: Megan’s old best friend-turned-rival Kelsey Harris.
If you’ll remember, Kelsey was the other person involved in the now infamous 2020 shooting between Tory Lanez and Megan. The “Hiss” rapper alleged that after a drunken dispute between she and Kelsey, Tory shot her in the foot leading to her hospitalization.
Though Tory was ultimately convicted of shooting Megan back in Dec. 2022, the relationship between Kelsey and Megan took a turn for the worst with the former saying on the witness stand during Tory’s trial that the “Traumazine” rapper “‘painted a picture’ that she betrayed her and took money from people who wanted her to be quiet.” Kelsey also alleged that Megan slept with Tory while she was recovering from COVID in Houston—all while she and the “L.U.V.” rapper were supposed to be in a relationship of their own.
In the years since the trial, Kelsey has been vocal about her estranged relationship with Megan, most notably speaking about it at length in an interview with “The Danza Project” earlier this spring. She’s also posted footage of her attending Nicki concerts and rapping along to her songs on social media. On the other hand, Nicki has also been supportive of Kelsey and famously called out Megan for “what she put that woman through,” describing her behavior as “disgusting” and alleging that Megan let Kelsey be “bullied.”
Fast forward to this new ad and folks online are now giving both Nicki and Kelsey a major side eye for this major shade:
“Kelsey modeling for Nikki Minaj shoe line is a prime example of how disloyal hoes are. I don’t care how bad the falling out is I’ll never kick it with bitches who don’t like a person I was friends with,” wrote one user on X/Twitter.
Said another: “I’m trippin off this Kelsey working with Nicki Minaj thing because that means Kelsey isn’t a loyal bitch what so ever . Idgaf if you and a old friend aren’t cool anymore you never link up with a bitch she don’t like that’s weird & shows she was never a friend.”
“Love Nicki down but that was very corny of her to have Kelsey as her model,” wrote another.
“That whole Kelsey modeling Nicki’s shoes is so lame because the only thing these bitches have in common is their hate for Meg. Them linking is so corny like where were her creative directors to tell her this?? Doing the most for someone who doesn’t even think of them,” another said.
But if you thought Kelsey was bothered by the online chatter—think again. In a couple of since-deleted tweets, she defended her decision to participate in the campaign writing:
“The HATE be so real. I didn’t betray nobody, harm nobody, been lied on by people with huge followings. I mind my business and stay out of the way. GOD got big plans for me...& I still chew yalls weak ass jabs and spit it right in yalls face. EVERYTIME.”
However, what is interesting to note is that Kelsey has also since deleted the post with her ad for Nicki’s shoes off her Instagram.
