Bossip, a site that describes itself as "the premier destination for African-American pop culture and entertainment", was having a debate about female rappers on its Twitter account, where they retweeted comments about Minaj.
Nicki Minaj herself posted several tweets in response, saying: "I've gone toe to toe w/ everyone of your favourite male MCs. To undermine my skill and diversity as an MC is actually comical at this point. I saw Bossip RTing ignorance, so I thought I'd put that out there. lol. The greats give me respect. The great journalists as well."
She continues: "If a male rapper was on tracks w/ Wayne, Jay, Eminem, Kanye etc. going round for round, he'd be hailed as a great as well. Jealousy is a disease. Not giving me my props doesn't stop me from being great."
One of the retweets brought up Minaj's ass, to which Nicki responded: "To imply someone's ass is the reason they get on tracks and hold their own with every great MC who is still alive :( black people, do better lol".
Bossip later said that their retweets didn't mean they necessarily agreed with those views.
