On March 10, 2017, Nicki Minaj released three singles: " Regret in Your Tears", " Changed It" with Lil Wayne, and "No Frauds" with Drake and Lil Wayne, as part of her "#3PackFromParis" collection, recorded during her time at Paris Fashion Week. Ma later released a second diss track directed at Minaj, "Another One". Minaj responded on Instagram by posting a screenshot of an article showing the opening week sales of Plata O Plomo as well as a video of American singer Beyoncé calling Minaj a "rap queen". One day after the release of "Make Love", Ma released the song " Shether", a nearly seven-minute-long diss track against Minaj which sampled the instrumental from Nas's song " Ether" in which she attacked Minaj for allegedly using a ghostwriter, her alleged plastic surgery, her fashion, her record deal, and the child sexual assault charges against Minaj's brother, and more. Minaj went on to rap, "You see, silly rabbit, to be the queen of rap/You gotta sell records, you gotta get plaques", a reference to Ma's declaration that she was the "queen of rap". Two days later, she released the song " Make Love" with American rapper Gucci Mane, where she rapped, "Oooohhh, oh you the qu-e-e-the queen of this here?/One platinum plaque, album flopped, bitch, where?", referencing the fact that Ma had recently received her first RIAA platinum certification for her song Fat Joe collaboration " All the Way Up", as well as the sales of Ma's album with Fat Joe, Plata O Plomo. In February 2017, Minaj was featured on the Jason Derulo song " Swalla", on which she rapped, "I gave these bitches two years, now your time's up/Bless her heart, she throwing shots, but every line sucks," perceived by fans to be a diss towards Ma, with "two years" presumably referencing the two years Ma had spent out of prison at the time of the song's release. By late 2016, Ma had rapped several verses which fans perceived to be against Minaj, including in a cypher during the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards, on her song " Money Showers" with Fat Joe, on a remix of the Phresher song "Wait a Minute", and in a freestyle on Funkmaster Flex's show on the radio station Hot 97. In August 2014, upon her release from prison, Ma spoke kindly about Minaj in interviews, stating that she was supported by Minaj during her time in jail and that she wanted to record a song with her. During Ma's time in jail, Minaj rose to fame. Ma was later sentenced to eight years in jail on charges of first-degree assault in May 2008 after shooting a friend of hers, who allegedly stole several hundred dollars from Ma. Ma, believing the verse to be directed towards her, confronted Minaj during a release party about the lyric. In 2007, Nicki Minaj released her debut mixtape, " Playtime is Over", featuring the song "Dirty Money", on which she raps, "Tell that bitch with the crown to run it like Chris Brown," over the beat from Ma and Fat Joe's song "Yeah Yeah Yeah" from Terror Squad's final album, True Story. Throughout the mid-2000s, American rapper Remy Ma, a member of the hip hop group Terror Squad, frequently referred to herself in lyrics as the "queen of rap" and the "queen of NY".
"No Frauds" was written as a response to the diss track " Shether" by fellow American rapper Remy Ma (pictured). The video garnered controversy due to a scene featuring Minaj on the Westminster Bridge a month after the 2017 Westminster attack.
On April 19, the Benny Boom-directed music video for "No Frauds" was released, and showed Minaj, Drake, and Lil Wayne in various locations throughout London. "No Frauds" debuted and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the song, Minaj criticizes Ma for her prison sentence and her record sales, among other things. Produced by Murda Beatz and Cubeatz, the song was released as a single on March 10, 2017, by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records along with " Changed It" and " Regret in Your Tears". The song is a diss track, made in response to American rapper Remy Ma's 2017 song " Shether", a nearly seven-minute-long diss track aimed at Minaj. " No Frauds" is a song recorded by Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj, American rapper Lil Wayne and Canadian rapper Drake.
