While the rest of the sports were watching NFL pre-season games, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and rapper Nicki Minaj ended their feud online.
Bryant posted an apology to the rapper online, and she accepted.
On August 9th, he posted this to Minaj.
“On some G sh*t.. @NICKIMINAJ , I really don’t like the misunderstanding we had between each other .. I apologize for bringing up your husband’s past..it’s a shame only negative things make headlines between two black people who have much influence on our community. I’m at war every day with myself to better myself for my kids and the kids who are watching me, and the last thing I wanna do is argue over stupid shit. I pray for only peace and positivity your way.”
Many fans questioned why Bryant apologized, but Bryant said he did it more for himself than for her, and after a few hours, she responded and apologized.
"The Lord will grant you peace, Dez.
Nothing makes me respect someone more than a public display of accountability.
I accept your apology.
I apologize as well— if I offended you.
If you still wanna do that fight, lmk. He def got them hands
seriously tho, all the best."
The feud between the pair began when Bryant was defending Roc Nation after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones accused them of leaving the negotiating table during Bryant’s contract talks with the team, which Bryant denied.
Minaj jumped into the conversation because of her long-standing feud with Roc Nation founder Jay Z, and things went downhill from there, with both sides taking personal jabs at one another’s issues, with both making accusations.
But it appears that the pair have kissed and made up…at least for now.
