Nicki Minaj’s Lil Kim Diss Track ‘Stupid Hoe’ Slammed By Critics

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: | Updated on July 6, 2018 CommentsComments (0)

UPDATE-Like it or not Nicki Minaj has some things to get off her chest. The ‘Super Bass’ singer who grabbed Entertainment Weekly’s Best Song of 2011 released a second track, ‘Stupid Hoe’ off her yet released sophomore album, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’.

The entire album is inspired by one of Nicki’s most outspoken alter ego, Roman Zolanski. In the fast paced track it appears that Zolanski is team Angie with a line that quickly references Brad Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston to start a new life with Angelina Jolie. But before long it’s revealed to be a Lil Kim diss record. The two barbies have gone back and fourth for nearly a year. The lyrics include:

“Bitch talkin’ she the queen when she looking like lab rat”. “I’m Angelina [Jolie], you Jennifer [Aniston], come on b***h, you see where Brad [Pitt] at. Stupid hoe is my enemy/ Stupid hoe is so wack/ Stupid hoe shoulda befriended me/Then she coulda prolly came back.”

But for an artist who arrived on the scene just last year,   won numerous accolades, a platinum selling debut album, scheduled to perform at the Superbowl as she confirm in the lyrics – why bother clap back at Lil Kim? “Put ya cape on, you a super-hoe/ 2012, I’m at the Super Bowl.” Critics are comparing both ‘Roman is Moscow‘ and ‘Stupid Hoe’ to mix tape quality tracks, lyrically weak and beneath Nicki Minaj.

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is scheduled for a February 14, 2012 release. With records like the aforementioned Nicki repeating her success of Pink Friday is definitely in question. What do you think? How does this compare to Nicki Minaj’s Super Bass?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
