During a resurfaced interview from One Music Festival back in October, Trina was asked why she thinks there are so many women rappers thriving right now.

In response, she credited one person: Beyoncé.

“Yeah, Beyoncé,” she said without hesitation. “‘Cause she’s like the number one female rapper when she does rap. When you hear her do a song and it’s rapping involved, it’s just like, ‘Oh my god.’ It’s more inspiration.”

Nicki Minaj’s fans quickly jumped in to complain (who else saw that coming?) about Trina’s answer, with many of them posting clips from when she’s paid homage to Nicki in the past.

“I’m sorry I have to laugh because trina was doing nicki tributes when nicki was still a rookie,” one Barb wrote on X. “But she wasn’t the one that opened doors for the new girls? Oh okay.”

Because of all the commotion surrounding her crowning of Beyoncé, Trina decided to take to Instagram to let everyone know she’s not backing down from what she said.

“I rlly don’t give a rats a** how anybody feel, I said what I said,” the rapper wrote in her caption under a picture of Beyoncé. “That’s the Queen Bey and I’m gonna STAN 🐝 on that 🗣️🗣️🗣️.”

She continued, “Beyonce is the Queen of rap (when she raps) and ALL genres of music when it comes to me ‼️ go argue with the IRS or somebody else idc 😮‍💨🙄 and that’s not up for debate over here.”

She even took to her IG Story to triple down, sharing a similar sentiment about her convictions.

“For the dusty crusty funky bi***es in the bacccck 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Beyonce is the queen of rap (when she raps) and ALL other genres of music,” Trina wrote. “Now stay mad goofy’s I said what I said and NANN b***h gone check me.”

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
