Ja Rule Angers Female Rap Fans With Nicki Minaj Era Of Dominance Comments

JaRule ruffled some feathers when speaking about his belief surrounding the lack of superstar women rappers in the Nicki Minaj era of dominance. I think Nicki gets proper praise,” began. “Her place in the game is solidified. It’s solid. There were no female MCs out and about until Nicki came back out. Before her, the last one was like Lauryn Hill.” Although, Ja has credited Nicki for opening the door for the current generation of female rappers to have a run “like they’ve never had before” in Hip Hop. “And before her was like Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte and before her it’s even further back,” he continued. “The female MC they’re having a run like they’ve never had before. To me, in my opinion, Nicki reopened that door.” Some fans chimed in defending rappers who Ja Rule left out like Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Missy Elliott, Trina, Eve and more.
