Published on 08/05/2025 09:00 PM
Dez Bryant hopped back online to clean up the digital drama after his unexpected back-and-forth with Nicki Minaj exploded all over Twitter (X).
The ex-NFL star admitted he lost his cool and said heâs trying to be a better example for the younger crowd watching him.
âIâm not in the sphere of people crashing out on the internet,â he tweeted. âI donât bother people..I never do. I was just posting about my son. I let the devil win that timeâŠI apologize to the kids who follow me because I care about setting the right example more than you know.â
It didnât take long for 50 Cent to take notice of Minajâs response, which was just as savage as the others.
â(This tweet is alleged & for entertainment purposes only),â she began. âAs a matter of fact, let me go call President Trump & ask for a pardon like DESIREE PEREZ did. Next, Iâll get into the CASINO stuff. Dez Bryantâs booty hole allegedly LEAKS as AN ADULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Should I start my story times now?!?â

The contentious exchange started after Bryant got into it with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones over contract talk drama from 2015.
Jones dredged up Bryantâs old deal, which was handled by Roc Nation, and used it to explain why he doesnât mess with agents and prefers to deal directly with players.
Jones claimed JAY-Z and Roc Nation ghosted him during the negotiations and stopped picking up the phone.
Bryant wasnât feeling that and hopped on social media to fire back, warning Jones to keep his name out his mouth or else heâd start airing out old Cowboys business.
Bryant and Roc Nation both called Jonesâ version of events bogus. They said it was Jones who went MIA during the talkânot JAY-Zâs team.

Thatâs where Nicki Minaj jumped in.
She has been feuding with Roc Nation and took the opportunity to side with Jerry Jones by bringing up Bryantâs 2012 run-in with the law involving his momâcharges that were later tossed.
She also threw out a $10 million dare, offering the cash if Bryant would fight her husband, Kenneth Petty, whoâs a registered sex offender from a 1995 conviction.
âIâll give you 10 million in cash if youâd come & fight him since you BEAT UR OWN MOM,â Minaj posted.
Bryant fired right back, calling out Pettyâs criminal history and didnât mince words.
âGo get that 10 million in cash.. Iâll stomp that n#### out right in front of you.. and itâs ROC for life b####,â he wrote.
Eventually, Bryant hit pause on the chaos and ended on a motivational note.
âI want everybody to stop and think for 5 minutes,â he said. âYou can make it through anything if you put your mind to it..no matter how big the battle is..no excuses.â
