The Queen of Queens rapper Nicki Minaj, 36, released a new video to song “Hard White” where she sends shots at some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop music.

Nicki Minaj - Hard White
Just one minute and a half in, Minaj drops the biggest bomb and disses Drake. A black scorpion appears and is promptly ripped apart into several pieces.
Considering Drake’s latest album is called Scorpion, many fans are assuming it’s a shot at the "In My Feelings" rapper.
Fans speculate that this is a visual representation of her breaking Drake to pieces with her music.

The scorpio scene is quick and very brief, but fans are reading into the possible deep meaning behind the visual.
One of the strongest and deadliest animals, a Scorpion, is being crushed, which shows the strength of the suspected force behind it, Nicki.
Twitter took the 2 second clip by storm and came up with different meanings as to what it means. Many fans sided with the view that she was taking shots at Drake as some fans realised the pair are not following each other on social media.
Nicki Minaj is sending supposedly sending shots to rival Cardi B in "Hard White" when she raps “I ain’t ever have to strip to get the pole position” (a reference to Cardi’s stripper past) but also with the Mike Ho-directed video.
Fans believe a dead bird falling from the sky is supposed to symbolize Cardi’s fall from holding a top spot.
At the start of the visual, a Grammy trophy flashes across the screen as Nicki raps, “I’m the trophy of the game/Everybody trying to win me,” which many fans have concluded is a diss aimed at the Grammy Awards.

The 'Chun-li' artist, dropped two new songs during Saturday’s (Feb 2nd) episode of her Queen Radio program on Apple Music’s Beats 1.
The show got off to a late start, but she appeased her patient fans by getting right down to business with some new music.
Nicki Minaj's recently dropped “Barbie Gon Bad” freestyle immediately caught fans attention.
The Black Barbie raps “When you lose the Queen ni**as friendly dog / It was just back to back Wembley dog / Now you all the way back up in the Bentley dog / I turn lemons into lemonade simply dog / Oh boy you my brother tried to end me dog,”.
In that line, fans suspect she is making references to Drake and Meek Mill old beef where Drake made "Back to Back" to send for Meek Mill.
