LisaRaye McCoy Addresses Nicki Minaj’s Diss: “I Didn’t Know I was That Relevant…She Was Quick With It, That Shows Talent”

LisaRaye McCoy recently spoke on music, and talked about Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj in the process, to mixed reviews. One of the alleged clapbacks was by Minaj herself, with the lyrics “Dollar, dollar bill, come get her, Even your man know Nickis do it better.”

“We can all stand together queens and say that we are both acknowledging—all of us are acknowledging—the fact that Kim came before Nicki Minaj,” McCoy stated previously on FOX Soul’s Out Loud With Claudia Jordan. “So Nicki, just take a seat. You don’t have to sit down for long but just take a bow. Just like Beyoncé said, ‘Bow down bitches.’ Because [Kim’s up here]. So anybody else, it’s like no competition.”

Minaj apparently caught wind of McCoy’s comments, although McCoy clarified what she meant. As a Result, Minaj allegedly threw shade at McCoy using a reference from the cult classic The Playas Club on her song “Trollz.”

After hearing the song, McCoy gave Minaj her props, while standing in her truth. “It has to be about me,” McCoy stated. “My thing is, I didn’t know I was that relevant to be put in a song. But that’s a good thing, it’s a business. She gotta be trendy. She’s gotta stay relevant herself, and stay current…”
