Nicki Minaj
Trinidadian singer and rapper Nicki Minaj has found herself at the center of controversy once again, as reports indicate she has been disinvited from the 2026 Met Gala.
This situation reportedly came to light on Christmas Day, when Roc Nation is alleged to have delivered a cease-and-desist notice to Minaj.
Reports referencing California court documents suggest that the notice prohibits the rapper from referencing Jay-Z, Beyoncé, or Roc Nation, with warnings of potential legal action if she does not comply.
Following the emergence of this information, online discussions suggested that Minaj would no longer be invited to the prominent fashion event, set for May 2026.
The Met Gala, recognized as one of the most significant events in the fashion world, is anticipated to be co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and long-time Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
A social media post stated: “Nicki Minaj has officially been uninvited to the 2026 Met Gala co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour on Monday, May 4, following the newly granted cease and desist courtesy of Roc Nation this Christmas. She is banned from attending the ceremony.”
The reports imply that the disinvitation may be connected to Minaj’s ongoing dispute with Roc Nation’s Jay-Z, who is also married to Beyoncé.
No official statement has come from the Met Gala organizers, but the claims have ignited considerable engagement on social media.
