Los Angeles-based rapper Doja Cat had an extended chat with her fans on Instagram last night (February 22, 2020) where she again praised Nicki Minaj‘s talent and her importance to the rap game.
Doja whose real name is Amalaratna Dlamini , explained, “You have Nicki who is so substantial, she has implanted herself so deeply into all of us so deeply, into music and into rap and into hip hop in such a way that she, in a very f*cked up and sad way, people have underappreciated her and I don’t think that’s right. I don’t think that that’s natural.”
“I just think she belongs in the spotlight,” she said and added, “She should be heard and that is the f*cking bottom line. I don’t want to hear anybody else.”
The 24-year-old Doja then segued into the importance of rappers having talent. “Quality is important. Style and entertainment and when someone is stylish and entertaining and cool, that’s important, but when someone is stylish and entertaining and talented and cares about hip…”
She finished with the importance of rappers writing their own rhymes. “F*ck that sh*t. F*ck that goddamn ghost writing sh*t. F*ck that. I want to have fun. I want to play the game,” she finished.
