Dez Bryant Reportedly Agrees to Fight Kenneth Petty for $10 Million

On August 3, 2025, an unexpected feud ignited between former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and rapper Nicki Minaj, sparked by a comment from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. During a press conference about contract talks involving star Micah Parsons, Jones mentioned Bryant and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports, claiming Jay-Z was “nowhere to be found” during Bryant's 2015 negotiations. This remark elicited a fiery retort from Bryant on X, warning Jones, “JERRY JONES I DONT THINK ITS SMART TO MENTION MY NAME...”Minaj, already entangled in issues with Roc Nation and Jay-Z, seized the moment by quote-tweeting Bryant, suggesting a playful “game” where every mention of Jones or the NFL would prompt her to share stories about Roc Nation. However, this light-hearted start quickly escalated into a fierce confrontation. Minaj’s remarks, combined with personal stakes regarding her husband Kenneth Petty, transformed a sports dispute into a riveting pop culture saga, capturing the attention of fans across social media.
