The long-standing debate between the Beyhive and the Barbz has reignited, thanks to a new Cécred hair care ad featuring Beyoncé. The commercial, which includes a snippet from Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj’s 2014 hit Feeling Myself, quickly sparked speculation among fans. While many viewed it as a simple homage, hardcore supporters took a deeper dive, questioning why Nicki’s vocals were absent and what this could mean for their relationship.

Despite the ongoing chatter, there’s no real evidence of a rift between the two icons. Nicki Minaj recently shut down rumors that she had any issues with Beyoncé, calling the speculation “an absolute lie.” Likewise, Queen Bey has never publicly suggested any tension with the Pink Friday rapper. However, fan rivalries continue to fuel speculation, often creating division where none exists.

Some theories link the alleged tension to Nicki’s history with Jay-Z, given her past criticisms of the Roc Nation mogul. Most recently, she voiced her disappointment over his Super Bowl LIX halftime show decision, believing Lil Wayne deserved the spotlight over Kendrick Lamar. With Beyoncé and Jay-Z making their first public appearance since his sexual assault lawsuit was dropped, fans have analyzed every detail, searching for hidden messages.

Ironically, a commercial featuring a song from both artists has only deepened the speculation. Maybe the only way to silence the noise is for Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj to bless fans with another collaboration. And honestly, no one would be mad at that!
