Nicki Minaj's ongoing feud with R&B singer SZA has taken another ugly turn.
After the pair exchanged insults on X (formerly Twitter) this week, Minaj, 42, took things further by accusing SZA, 35, of lying about her age.
In a since-deleted post, the Super Bass rapper said that SZA is in her 'mid forties' before demanding to see her birth certificate.
Despite swiftly deleting the post, it didn't stop fans from screenshotting it and sharing it all over social media.
'You really can’t make this up….. SZA's barely mid-30’s and Nicki's pushing 50,' commented one.
'A woman in her almost mid 40’s…trying to shame another woman for being mid 40’s when she’s not…' wrote a second.
'Nicki is too old to be doing all this s**t. I hope SZA doesn't give her the attention,' a third commented.

Another posted, 'Girl I was shocked when I knew that [SZA's] 35yo. I thought she was like 25 or something. Your a** is just jealous.'
There's currently no evidence to support Nicki's baseless claims that SZA is being dishonest about her age.
Minaj is currently embroiled in a feud with Top Dawg Entertainment label president, Terrence 'Punch' Henderson, who happens to be SZA's manager.
After Minaj attacked Henderson in a scathing post on X, SZA cryptically posted, 'Mercury retrograde … don’t take the bait lol silly goose.'
While Minaj wasn't mentioned in SZA's post, Minaj assumed that the comment was aimed at her, and then proceeded to attack SZA's career, talent, and appearance in a series of scathing social media posts this week.
In one vicious post, Minaj wrote, 'Wait. Does Sza think she’s more successful than me? Lol y'all catch me up pls.'
She continued, 'SZA, if every song you’ve ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn’t even miss you. I’ve been to countries that never heard of you. I know you’re not THAT stupid are you?'

Many fans online weren't happy with Minaj's accusations towards SZA
Minaj is well known for her nasty feuds with other female artists.
Over the years, the Anaconda hitmaker has beefed with Cardi B, Mariah Carey, Remy Ma, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Kim, Iggy Azalea, and Miley Cyrus.
Meanwhile, SZA isn't the first hitmaker to be accused of lying about her age.
Over the years, there's been an ongoing conspiracy theory that Beyonce had shaved a couple of years off her real age.
However, DailyMail.com previously checked public records, which confirmed that Beyonce is indeed the age that she publicly claims to be.
Minaj recently revealed that she's thought about quitting the music industry many times despite all of her success.
The hitmaker is one of the world's best-selling music artists and is the best-selling female rapper of all time, with over 100million records sold.
But she admitted that the inevitable criticism that comes with being in the spotlight has got to her over the years.

Speaking to Vogue Italia, Nicki said: 'I've heard every possible criticism about me. I've thought about quitting so many times.
'I'm glad I didn't. I hope my story can be an inspiration, and push kids, adults, anyone, not to give up.'
Nicki is mother to a four-year-old boy - whose name she has not made public - with her husband, Kenneth 'Zoo' Petty.
The star told how she delayed becoming a mother for the sake of her career and providing for her family members.
She said: 'As a woman, I put off becoming a mother. A lot of women in the industry, especially older than me, never had children. Some don't regret it, but others do. I put it off.
'And I didn't go to every Thanksgiving, every Christmas, or birthday party because I had to work to support my family. I think the price was not having a 'normal' life.
'Things are different now, because I can give my son things I never had, but there are things I want to make sure he has, and I still need to figure out how to give them to him.
'When we go out, for example, I have to worry that someone will take his picture.'
