Y’all better give Nicki her props. She did 2 songs. One released over 10 years ago and one released this year and both billboard hits. Meaning she’s STILL relevant so she’s representative of both “older” and new generation. This is to the one that mentioned Cardi or Meg should’ve been up there too represent today. Only because Nicki is still representing hip hop and relevant today

Nicki is THE BAR of female rap. Nobody will ever top what she did and is still doing for female rappers and hip hop!

[@CP-ns3iz]

The way ppl hate on Nicki is beyond me. Some ppl don’t like to u succeed and be the same ones that are the epitome of crabs in the bucket. Nicki is the epitome of longevity and her reign will never be touched, no matter how hard they try to condemn her. Ppl continue 2 lie on her and make her this evil person but like my grandmother used to say “LET THE LIAR CONTINUE TO LIE, WHILE THE TRUE GODS CHILD CONTINUES TO RISE” and what make it even more sad, it be her own ppl against her and wanna see her fall.

Nicki represents today as well !!! Boy in the hoodie always try to discredit Nicki ! Look at the freakin audience reaction , they knew every single word !!! Neither Meg nor Cardi have charted higher than Nicki Minaj in 2023 !!!! Y’all hate to give that lady her props !!!!

[@waytoomuch4067]

What song that Meg has that can be used for a hip hop tribute??? Nicki was the perfect selection, especially going before Wayne who signed her…

[@PurpleRoyalty7]

Exactly… they don’t even have music without discussing their 🐱. These guys are out of touch.

[@6894q]

why do people need to hate on meg to compliment nicki?? you do realise you can just give her her flowers without shitting on other artists right?

[@paradiseeddy8079]

@@6894qfacts! Like Megan been hard!

[@SPICYICYTEA]

That guy in the hoodie is such a big NICKI MINAJ HATER! The Power Nicki Holds on this dude is crazy. The little dude lapped his leg and couldn't handle seeing Nicki killing the stage! Make Them nervous!

[@teedee643]

Do Nicki’s solo performance. Also for this Nicki is old and new… that is why she can hold it down for them all. No one writes all of these were lyricists.

[@staceyslaterrr]

[@Tiyhel]

ANYWAYS. Shoutout Cardi B the MOST successful female rapper of this generation with the MOST number one billboard singles IN History For a female rapper, THE ONLY female rapper with MULTIPLE diamond certified singles, having the LONGEST charting female rap album in history, having the ONLY female rap album to win a Rap Grammy, etc etc and STILL making history that fat wack female rappers ain’t doing, and the way Cardi B can actually perform I like that for the greatest female rapper of this generation and she also don’t defend child m0lesters, ped0philes and offenders SO SHOUTOUT CARDI B THE GRAMMY AWARD WINNER NOT EVERY BODY CAN SAY THAT.
