City Girls was an era and I feel their laziness and the lack of label support really minimized their impact. They really should’ve been bigger and had more mainstream success esp with how they have impacted dating culture and pop culture with their soundbits.
@Ebonie_QT
Black women’s trauma is never a thought or consideration for grace and support. Whitney Houston, Sandra bland, Breonna Taylor were all made to be jokes and it’s devastating to see.
Dennis Allen and the saints have left me uninspired this off-season. Why are we adding defensive players only. We need a WR, RB, and TE but we signing a burnt toast safety from the Chiefs.

The fans already had her picture, address and information before Nicki even posted it. And she shouldn’t have posted such a vile article on BET’s Twitter.
@WrittenByHanna
It’s a big conversation to be had, and an even bigger convo is how messy buns and oversized clothing is praised on every other race but black women have to be dressed prim and proper to get respect.
@ladidaix
ESP on lack of label support! Like they had three solid albums with bangers but the leaks and lack of promo hurt the music. But I’m glad they were able to split amicably and they both moving on to something great
@varruechexo
Not to mention ruined the whole press run for “The Color Purple” with the black women don’t get paid discourse. But was mute when Monique brought all that to the light
@817Lauren
She may have declined and notice it’s the younger gen of rap girls. Nicki is in a unique space in female rap because she so current and a veteran but she’s not an OG like lil Kim cause she still peaking!
New Edition is the main influence for the music groups listed: New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Boyz II Men, Guy, Jodeci, 112, and even One Direction.
@meganslawmwah
QC also didn’t give them proper promotion. And this can be said about all their artists. Like none of their projects had a proper rollout. That matters esp for newer artists that don’t have the pure sales like a legacy artist.

@CockianaCD
Black award shows play petty politics as well. BET dragged Nicki when cardi won for best female rapper. How is that black excellence and cardi isn’t even black.
@OkSoMik
It’s really sad. And the sister isn’t in the relationship so why try to defame saweetie. Her brother is gonna be different around his girlfriend versus his family. She don’t know the ins and outs. Plus saweetie didn’t even drag him, just stated she was done
@BLUNTHOVEN
Y’all are the same ones who used Cardi b’s
#1s
and the rap girls getting Grammys as a way to bring Nicki down and say she was lesser than. Please don’t have revisionist history. Now the sales aren’t in your favor so you want to say it’s not about the charts. Everyone compares

@varruechexo
And Santana her bulldog has tweeted nasty things about both her kids. All this smoke for alleged tweets and none for the ones who really did it.
@jalenmaraj
And nobody has beat that since. And no one has beat BMUS numbers since. And two mainstream rap girls on headlining tours couldn’t surpass the mixtape.

@ABHcosmetics
was the best palette of 2018 imo. The color story was perfect for the subtle and dramatic glam girls and the shimmers were pigmented!
@thecindynoir
This case is def a wait and see but it’s alarming how the SA allegations in Amsterdam isn’t getting nearly as much press as the fatphobic comments.
@WizMonifaaa
The production has been great and the stage presence is solid! I think the issues lie in the makeup, hair and outfits. Tbh Nicki may just feel it is her way or the highway and the team changes too much so we don’t get consistency.
@DreamofBarbie
Even her peer Drake had to tour with somebody else multiple times. Nicki doing this on her own is a testament to her legacy. And she’s giving Monica her flowers ❤️
@SimmingTingzz
Clock it!! If Kim is the supreme queen and the blueprint, all the girls should be lining up to collab. Instead, Kim itching for a collab and some 💰
If the tour is so amazing, you wouldn’t need to reference Nicki every third business day to compare. Y’all gonna have her spiraling like CardiB is linking the two when it’s a big difference.
@seangarrette
She should’ve had the single release by the top of March. The announcement for the album got so much praise and to let the hype die down again is a choice.
@deadsummer
@Homiekage
So she said what she said (basically f u to Oprah) and she said that it’s about integrity and Steve told her to play the white mans game. He got backlash for that and Monique said she was gonna stay true to who she was and they owed her an apology.
@FALLENINLVE
She didn’t deserve though. Like Katy has given us one of the best pop albums ever with Teenage Dream. She deserved to at least have an Ariana career track to this day
@_benjvmins_
The trend of getting people fired because of a difference of opinion needs to stop. And Selena didn’t say one lie and the stitch proves it
@seangarrette
Raven Symone and Kyla Pratt really don’t get their flowers for how they were some of the most beloved child actresses in the 1990s- early 2000s.
@JAESREVENGE
Right, that’s my biggest critique. The girls come in singing Nicki praise and pandering to barbz. Only to get what they want from Nicki or fall out with her and turn to Kim as the queen bee and inspiration. And if I was Lil Kim, I wouldn’t take it because it’s only out of spite
@AweleNwandu
People just want to blame Nicki for their favs downfall. Lil Kim is a huge influence in rap culture but her team failed her tremendously. And the female empowerment rappers (Remy and all them who had a powwow on stage to spite Nicki) should have supported her album.🥴

with no video and 4 days of tracking. Plus her album singles (Everybody, SFG and FTCU) out charted this freestyle
Cardi and Meg do this y’all would give them nothing but praise and drag Nicki saying she’s a mean girl and bitter. Everyday it’s a new narrative and none of them stick.
@itsKARY_
I get it but I hate how twitter picks and chooses who to condemn in these situations. Chloe collabed with him and alot of her core fans isolated her. But HER has worked with Chris brown multiple times and not received backlash. Normani danced with Chris brown and was dragged.
@jiggyjayy2
And the fans putting one against the other. There was a whole campaign wanting JT to go solo and another campaign wanting Caresha to be the next Oprah. Those narratives can manifest
