Despite her celebration of the track’s streaming success, fans still appeared let down in the comments section. One top response reads: “Ngl. You didn't eat that. I’m disappointed.” Others defended Minaj: “It’s the way Bigfoot is trying so hard to look unbothered for SOCIAL MEDIA when in real life she’s panicking as we speak going down her list of ghostwriters.” Minaj released "Big Foot" as a diss aimed at Megan Thee Stallion, who had recently referenced Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty on the song, "Hiss." Petty is a registered sex offender. "These h*es don't be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan's Law," she rapped. Megan's Law requires convicted sex offenders to register publically with the state.
