"THATS WHY HE REALLY MAD" — Internet reacts to Nicki Minaj tweeting "Move!" after she broke Jay-Z's Billboard record

The Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, has once again cemented her place in music history, surpassing Jay-Z's longstanding record for the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100.

Following this achievement on September 21, 2024, Minaj took to X with a concise yet bold message: "Move!" — a tweet that instantly sent her fans and the internet into a frenzy.

The tweet ignited a flurry of reactions on X, featuring a mix of memes, jokes, and celebratory posts. Many users speculated that this development may have been unsettling for Jay-Z.

"THATS WHY HE REALLY MAD," one wrote.

Many users on X flooded the platform with creative commentary, humorously speculating how others in the industry, including Jay-Z, might feel about the record-breaking moment.

"MR CARTER I THINK I JUST PASSED SIR😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭," one wrote.

"Oh camel-z it's over for you," another on X.

"Gotta Move around when the Queen is Queening!" netizen on X.

"The Carters will never be phased by anything you say!" another wrote.

Some users on X expressed that they might feel upset upon learning someone had broken their record, while others celebrated Nicki Minaj's success. Some commentators also remarked that a one-sided rivalry is peculiar in this context.

"i would be mad too," one wrote.

"CLOCK ITTT 🤪😩😩," another on X.

"This one sided beef is so bizarre," netizen on X.

The tensions between Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj extend beyond the recent record-breaking achievements. Recently, Nicki Minaj criticized Jay-Z when Kendrick Lamar was selected as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show. In her tweets, Minaj implied that he had "snubbed" Lil Wayne.

"Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola, what's good?!!!!!!" Minaj wrote.

According to Billboard, Nicki Minaj's music has cumulatively charted for 1,945 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200, officially surpassing Jay-Z to become the sixth longest-charting rapper of all time on these charts.

As reported by Hip Hop, only Drake, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Kanye West, and Future have achieved more consecutive chart placements. Notably, Minaj holds the distinction of being the longest-charting female rapper on this list.

As of now, Jay-Z has not publicly commented on Nicki Minaj's recent achievement.
