Doja Cat stirred curiosity among fans after she playfully chided her cat for chewing on her computer wires during a Twitch livestream on April 19, jokingly comparing the feline’s behavior to Nicki Minaj. In the clip that quickly made the rounds online, the 30-year-old singer lifts her black cat and says, “Are you Nicki Minaj?
Are you chewing on the wires? Don’t chew on the wires.
Let go-let go Nicki, let go Nicki.”
The lighthearted remark sparked speculation among viewers, with many wondering if there was a deeper meaning behind the jab. This comes amid Nicki Minaj’s recent comments about staying unfazed by criticism related to her controversial MAGA streak.
Fans took to social media to decode the “chewing on wires” phrase. One user asked, “Wait, what does chewing on wires mean?
How is it related to Nicki?” Another responded, explaining a running joke that when technical issues occur during performances by female rappers, Nicki is humorously blamed as the culprit “chewing the wires in the back.”
Others suggested alternative interpretations, linking “wires” to drug-related slang and speculating the comment might be a subtle dig at Nicki’s rumored personal struggles. Some predicted the remark could provoke a strong reaction, possibly even a diss track.
However, several fans defended Doja’s intentions, pointing out a viral TikTok video featuring a Sphynx cat named “Nakee Minaj” throwing a tantrum over chewing a phone cord, suggesting the joke was likely meant in good fun. Others noted the pink wires could simply be a lighthearted nod rather than a pointed insult, emphasizing that Doja’s recent lyrics don’t suggest any ongoing feud.
Currently, Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj are not publicly feuding. Despite occasional tension among their fanbases, the two artists have collaborated before, notably on the 2020 remix of “Say So.” Doja has expressed admiration for Nicki in the past, even dedicating her song “Get Into It (Yuh)” to the rapper as a tribute to her influence in the industry.
