Doja Cat has had tense moments with Nicki Minaj’s fanbase in the past.
Doja Cat Sparks Feud Rumors With MAGA Rapper After Her Cat Chews Wires: 'Are You Nicki Minaj?':
Doja Cat stirred curiosity after mentioning rapper Nicki Minaj during her livestream. Doja Cat reprimanded her cat for chewing on her computer wires and appeared to make a jab at the "Anaconda" singer.
The moment raised eyebrows about an alleged feud between the two singers, with many fans speculating about possible tensions between the rappers
According to The Mirror U.S., Doja Cat was streaming on Twitch on Sunday, April 19, when she caught her cat chewing on cable wires. She lifted her cat and scolded her for damaging her gear, comparing the pet's antics to Nicki Minaj.
She said, "No, don’t chew on the wires! Are you Nicki Minaj? Are you chewing on the wires? Don’t chew on the wires! Let go… Let go, Nicki, let go, Nicki.” After considerable effort, Doja Cat was able to remove the wires from her cat's mouth. The video from the livestream circulated widely on social media.
Doja Cat's perceived jab at Minaj raised eyebrows as fans questioned its meaning, with some linking it to claims about her association with the MAGA movement.
However, no verified evidence suggests Doja made the remark to criticize her colleague or that Minaj has formally joined the MAGA movement.

Fans flood social media with theories
Because the meaning behind Doja's remark remains unclear, fans flooded social media with interpretations of what "chewing on wires" might mean.
One user questioned, "Wait what does chewing on wires mean? how is it related to nicki?"
Another poked fun at the incident and wrote, "because whenever something happens to another female rapper's mic while she's performing they'll say nicki in the back chewing the wires lmfaooo."
Some went into full detailed mode, with one writing, "A plug is a guy who provides coke/substances A wire is connected to a plug, making it the product being provided! So basically doing coke, Nicki Is dragged for it."
Another chimed in and said, "This probably gonna send nicki into a spiral, the coke rants and the diss track incoming.. doja run."
Talking about the colors of the wires Doja's cat chewed on, one user shared their theory, writing, "This could be two things….positive or negative The wires are pink, could be she’s referring to the cat as Nicki since it’s chewing on the pink wires ORRRR she’s just throwing a light jab since telling someone they are 'chewing on wires' could mean they’re stressed or anxious. However I don’t think she’s being shady cause she was rapping her lyrics recently so."

Is Doja Cat's wire jab linked with Beyoncé?
According to Complex, Doja's jab is a reference to a little-known tweet from 2025 in which someone humorously questioned who was responsible for Beyoncé's car nearly failing during a concert.
“Sources say it was Nicki chewing the wires backstage,” the tweet stated, shared by a Beyoncé fan who pointed out the potential reference.
Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat worked together in 2020 on the remix of her popular song, Say So. The track was featured on Doja's album "Hot Pink."
