Nicki Minaj has supplied up her definition of the time period “Karen” after utilizing it as a derogatory reference to Latto throughout a current spat on Twitter.
On Monday (Oct. 17), Nicki Minaj hit up Instagram Live in a dialog with podcaster Nunu Nellz to handle her views as they pertain to the meat with Latto that popped off on social media within the late hours of Oct. 13. During the heated back-and-forth with Latto, Nicki known as the “Big Energy” rapper a “Karen” twice and is now explaining why she feels that method by implying that Latto’s candy and harmless demeanor is nothing greater than a entrance.
“Being a ‘Karen’ is more about being manipulative and being passive-aggressive,” mentioned Nicki across the 9:11-mark within the video under. “This is an example. It’s a great example if you think about it, and White people and White women have used it for years and that’s why the term was created. If a White woman living in a White neighborhood sees a Black man, and this goes back for years and years, if that woman accuses that Black man of doing something, she knows that when that White police officer comes, he gon’ arrest that Black man because there’s already a stereotype of the Black man being all of these negatives. So, she can easily pretend to be innocent and sweet in front of the cop because she knows that that cop don’t like that Black man either.”
Nicki Minaj continued: “So, she can come on that Black man’s property, she can curse, she can antagonize people and then she can pretend that she’s the sweetest person on the planet. That’s what being a ‘Karen’ is about. And I’m not speaking about any specific person. That’s what ‘Karens’ do. We see it on the videos all the time. So, if you knew you were lying on me, right, and then got me attacked while you played innocent, then that’s what a ‘Karen’ means.”
The aforementioned Twitter beef between Nicki Minaj and Latto started final Thursday when Latto caught a stray in the course of a social media rant from Nicki after it was introduced that the Grammy Awards committee excluded her No. 1 charting single, “Super Freaky Girl,” from the rap class, deeming the music a pop file. The Queens, N.Y. MC defined that in her opinion, Latto’s 2021 hit music, “Big Energy,” must also be eliminated from Grammy consideration within the rap class if that is the best way the Grammys wish to play it.
“I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY,” tweeted Nicki Minaj. “If SFG has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy! ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll. I’d actually LUV 2 c a more street record win- male OR female! IJS rightIsRight.”
Latto then appeared to reply to Minaj’s opinion with a way of disappointment.
“Damn, I can’t win for losing,” wrote Latto seemingly in response to Nicki’s classification of her hit single. “All these awards/noms, I can’t even celebrate.”
From there, what started as a personal dialog between the feminine rhymers spilled over into the general public area when in a since-deleted tweet, Nicki posted a screenshot of her DMs with Latto, calling the 777 artist a “Karen” within the course of. At that time, issues grew to become exceptionally messy, with every rapper throwing pictures on the different for the subsequent a number of hours.
At press time, Latto has but to reply to Nicki Minaj’s Instagram Live video addressing the scenario.
