Trina Responds To Backlash For Praising Beyoncé As 'Queen Of Rap': 'I Said What I Said'

Trina is standing on business despite the backlash she’s receiving for dubbing Beyoncé as “the No. 1 female rapper.”The Miami native’s original comments arrived in an interview with HipHopDX, published on Wednesday (December 27) in which she credited Bey for inspiring female rappers to level up. “Because she is the No. 1 female rapper when she does rap,” Trina stated. “There’s no sleeping on the Queen. It’s just one of those things, of course, it’s the Queen Beyoncé, but when you hearing a song and it’s rapping involved it’s like, oh my God — it’s more inspiration.”The comment sparked quite a bit the debate on social media, with more than a handful of fans questioning Trina’s reasoning. As the chatter began bubbling on Thursday afternoon (December 28), the Diamond Princess doubled down while taking the comments in stride.
