🤝 The Mega Powers: From Brotherhood to Betrayal
In 1987, the unthinkable happened: Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage joined forces.
As the Mega Powers, they dominated the WWF—backed by Savage’s valet (and real-life wife) Miss Elizabeth.
But tension brewed.
At WrestleMania V, the alliance shattered when jealousy and mistrust boiled over—mostly over Elizabeth’s role. Savage turned heel, accusing Hogan of “lusting after Elizabeth.”
It was a masterclass in storytelling, culminating in an emotional, high-stakes match:
đź’Ą WrestleMania V: Hogan vs Savage for the WWF Championship
Result: Hogan wins, but the drama lives on in history.
📱 Receipts Don’t Lie: SZA’s Proof of a Past Connection
SZA later dropped a bombshell: proof that Nicki had reached out to collaborate—not once, but twice in 2020.
These messages, confirmed by Punch himself, revealed that Nicki had previously wanted to work with SZA. The collaboration never came to fruition, but the receipts painted Nicki’s current stance as hypocritical.
This moment shifted the public perception:
Was Nicki lashing out over a rejected feature?
đź’Ľ Deeper Drama: Roc Nation and #JusticeForDemoree
While the SZA drama brewed, Nicki reignited her long-standing feud with Roc Nation and its CEO Desiree Perez, introducing the hashtag #JusticeForDemoree in connection with a personal legal matter involving Perez’s daughter.
Though seemingly unrelated to SZA, this brief detour in Nicki’s attacks suggested a broader dissatisfaction with the music industry’s inner politics.
🤯 What Fans Are Saying
The internet erupted.
