Say what you will about Nicki Minaj, but lord knows the girl knows how to stir the pot and create headlines.
Feuds involving Nicki Minaj and *insert artist name here* have been popping off all week. When she appeared on the Joe Budden podcast, Nicki made it clear that when it comes to ranking herself as one of the greats in hip-hop, she is putting herself in the top ten rappers in the game, regardless of gender.
“I definitely rate myself top 10. Dead or alive. Men and women. I don’t think that there’s a woman alive seeing me. I don’t give a fuck what nobody say,” Nicki said. Well, that part about rapping fast offended the sensibilities of one female rapper who most of us thought we left behind in the 2000s. If your first thought was Da Brat, you’re incorrect. It’s actually Ludacris’ one-time protégé, Shawnna.
Somehow, someway, Shawnna decided it was time she took this opportunity to state plainly that she’d love to beef with Nicki on wax.
“I saw an interview from a female artist the other day and since she didn’t say no names, I ain’t gon’ say no names,” said Shawnna. “When we get ready to say names, then we gon’ pick the beat and we gon’ hit the booth. No ghost writers, you feel what I’m sayin’?” At some point, Ludacris showed his support for Shawnna in the comments, which per usual has caused Nicki’s clan of fans to attack both the rapper and his former protégé. Take a look at the video as well as some of the reactions below. Do you think Shawnna would be a challenge for Nicki in the booth?

who’s gonna tel Shawnna that nobody is checking for her. She ain’t cross nobody’s mind in years. Can’t sell records so they use Nicki’s name for clout.

Whilst everyone else was saying it was Tierra Whack shade… think Shawnna used that comment as leverage to be ya know…. relevant..for once in her life.
