Trina spoke on her legacy during a recent interview with Carlos King, arguing that she feels left out of the debate over the top five female rappers of all time. She explained that she’s influenced most of the artists she sees fans pick for their lists. “I feel like I know what I’ve done and I feel like even your top 5 has been at some point influenced by me,” she said. “I know, or probably even worked with or loved – even idolized. It’s probably somebody I really support and love in the industry.”
When The Neighborhood Talk shared the clip on Instagram, fans had mixed responses to Trina’s take. In the comments section, one user wrote: “No shade we gotta give Trina her flowers. She’s a staple in female rap that doesn’t get enough recognition.” Another countered: “I love Trina, but let’s be real, she is not in the top 5, she may not even be in the top 10 if we are being honest…” Later in the clip, she mentions how she was always nominated at the BET Awards, but rarely won anything.

Elsewhere in the interview, Trina discussed one female rapper who fans often list in their top five, Nicki Minaj. She revealed that she hasn’t spoken to her in a number of years, but she’s happy for the success she’s achieved. “I’m proud, like, you’re deserving of this, like, we watched your first tour, it was great… and now it’s like phenomenal, and you’re just looking at the growth — you just got your son,” Trina said. “…I’m just happy for you, even if you over here and I’m over here, but I’m just happy for you. And I feel like everything that’s happening for her, she deserves.”
