Over the past few days, a resurfaced clip of Trina showing love to Beyonce has been making its rounds online, sparking quite a bit of controversy. In the clip, Trina acknowledged Bey for her contributions to female rap. “She is the No. 1 female rapper when she does rap,” she told HipHopDX at the time. “There’s no sleeping on the Queen.” Her eagerness to put Beyonce ahead of the pack raised some eyebrows, and she only doubled down when the interview gained traction.
“For the dusty crusty funky b***hes in the bacccckkkk [loudly speaking emoji] Beyoncé is the queen of rap (when she raps) and ALL other genres of music,” she wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week. “I rlly don’t give a rats a** how anybody feel, I said what I said .. that’s the Queen Bey and I’m gonna STAN.” While there’s no doubt that Beyonce is the queen of something, some social media users hesitate to say that it’s rap. Some have even speculated that Trina’s comments were a jab at Nicki Minaj, who’s commonly recognized as the true “Queen of Rap.”
