'This is too much': Internet trolls Trina for calling Beyonce 'The Queen of Rap'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Katrina Laverne Taylor, popularly known as rapper Trina faced the wrath of the internet for dubbing Beyonce as 'The Queen of Rap'.

The online community was quick to react, with many users expressing their disagreement and trolling the icon for her statement about Beyonce, especially when 'Queen Bey' is still exploring her rapping skills.

Trina, known for her debut album 'Da Baddest B***h', has responded to critics in the wake of the backlash she encountered for saying Beyonce is the number one female rapper.

Check the list of celebrities, from Lizzo to Janelle Monae, who graced the premiere of Beyonce's Renaissance world tour movie with their presence.

What did Trina say about Beyonce?

A video recently surfaced featuring Trina in an interview with HipHopDX.

During the interview, the Miami rapper was questioned about the recent surge of new female rappers in the rap scene. Trina attributed this influx of diverse female talents in the rap industry to Queen Bey's trailblazing efforts.

"Yeah, Beyonce 'cause she's like the number one female rapper when she does rap," Trina stated.

"It's just one of those things like of course this is the Queen's Beyonce, but when you hear her do a song and it's rapping involved, it's like, 'Oh my God,' like it just, it's more inspiration and, um, I don't know it's just a good thing, man," she added.

Jennifer Lopez also faced trolling recently for showcasing a breastplate that revealed her underboob, as she appeared alongside Ben Affleck at ELLE’s 2023 Women in Hollywood event.
