Nicki acted like she had all this smoke for Megan, and in the end, it was imaginary smoke. It was steam and not even a big rush of steam like from a caboose or something. It was that little hiss of steam that came out of your iron when you put water in it before adding that crease to your khakis.
This was her beefs with Remy Ma and Lil Kim all over again. She didnāt have a real answer for them either, and it makes me wonder where is the fabled Nicki that everyone says has a wicked pen game?
Where is the Nicki who allegedly wrote the verse on āMonsterā that made us all say that was her song and not Kanyeās? “
My latest opinion column for TheGrio discusses Nicki’s less than mid response to Megan Thee Stallion diss track “Hiss.”
One bar in Megan Thee Stallionās āHissā sent Nicki Minaj into a 72-hourlong online spiral

Tory Lanez Has Been Convicted And Sentenced, Yet Megan The Stallion Is Still Being Attacked
LinkOne of the biggest lies out there is that Megan reported Tory to the police or pressed charges against him. The narrative is that the fact that this went to trial at all is Meganās fault, and that is categorically false.
On the night of the shooting, residents in the area called the police when they heard the disturbance happening in and outside of a car Megan was riding in with Tory and others.
When police arrived on scene, Megan did not tell them she had been shot. Instead, she indicated that she had stepped on glass and was taken to the hospital for treatment. ToryĀ Lanez was arrested and given a felony concealed weapon charge. Even after she was treated at the hospital, Megan didnāt tell police Lanez shot her.Ā
When video of the incident began circulating online,Ā Megan clarified that she had in fact been shot, but she still did not say it was Lanez who had done it.Ā
LAPD was initially unable to press charges against Lanez for the shooting because none of the witnesses, including Megan, were cooperating with their investigation.

Keke Palmer and other Black women deserve to express both their sensuality and sexuality unapologetically
LinkDarius Jackson, a no-name negro with no claim to fame other than the fact that he fathered a beautiful child with Keke Palmer, recently became the main character on Black Twitter after he dared to try and publicly shame Keke for an outfit she wore to the Usher residency in Las Vegas.
In a video that was widely shared across the internet, the āConfessionsā crooner walked up to Keke and serenaded her. They danced closely together as he sang to her. Keke, who shows no signs of having recently had a baby, looked stunning in a dazzling Black see-through number that put her ācheeksā on full display.Ā
Darius, aka the ābreadloserā in Kekeās house, wrapped himself up in a feelings burrito after the video clip of Usher and Keke went viral. In response to a celebrity news social media account posting the video,Ā he wrote through his tears, āItās the outfit thoā¦you a mom.ā

Happy birthday to Megan Thee Stallion
Today is Megan Thee Stallion’s 28th birthday.
She should be out celebrating and driving the boat, doing hoodrat shit with her ratchet friends, but instead she has been on a self-imposed hiatus, disappearing from the public eye immediately after Tory Lanez was convicted in December for the July 2020 incident in which he shot her in her feet.
Megan deserves so much better.
For theGrio, I wrote an open letter to her.
I hope wherever she is right now, she is surrounded by love, finding peace, feeling protected, and healing herself mentally and emotionally so she can come back stronger than ever. We miss her.
The treatment of Megan Thee Stallion since the night of her shooting is disgusting
Megan Thee Stallion has been treated like the villain ever since news broke that she was shot by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. She has been the victim of targeted harassment, weaponized misinformation and general misogyny and misognynoir.
I discuss this in my latest for theGrio, “Before, during and after the trial of Tory Lanez, Megan Thee Stallion was treated as more of a villain than he was. Letās talk about it.”
Pete was subjected to a targeted campaign of weaponized misinformation and had her name dragged through the mud day after day. In her testimony during the trial, she tearfully related how this entire situation has impacted her life and made things harder for her, saying at one point, āBecause I was shot, Iāve been turned into some kind of villain, and heās the victim. This has messed up my whole life.
āI wish he would have just shot and killed me (rather than) have to go through this torture,ā she said.
Black women are unprotected, and in the hip-hop community, many will rush to defend a man for his actions before they will protect the woman his abusive actions harm. It’s sickening.

Drake is a sassy bitch
StandardListen, I get it. You are a white woman of color who was born and raised in Canada. You are an actor who got your start on the Canadian show āDegrassi,ā and you are now in the midst of playing your biggest role, that of a rapper named Drake.
Dear Drake, please leave Megan Thee Stallion and every other Black woman out of your mouth
For theGrio, I addressed Drake and his messy bitch behavior. In case you are unaware, on his recent release with 21 Savage, he decided to go after Megan Thee Stallion unprovoked, and I don’t like that.
