LisaRaye to Nicki Minaj: ‘Lil Kim Came Before You, Bow Down’
Actress LisaRaye McCoy in a recent appearance on Out Loud with Claudia Jordan, addressed Usher’s remarks after he told Swizz Beatz that a Verzuz battle between Nicki and Kim wouldn’t work because Lil’ Kim paved the way for Nicki Minaj. The R&B star went on to describe the “Anaconda” hitmaker as a “product” of the Queen Bee. It appears LisaRaye agrees and she wants Minaj to bow down since the rapper whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones, came before her. She said:
“We can all stand together queens and we can all say that all of us are acknowledging the fact that Kim came before Nicki Minaj.”
She added, “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 b*tches.”
Meanwhile, her comments were met with mixed reactions. LisaRaye has also come under fierce criticism from Turks And Caicos Islanders for stating that she “turned their island around” after marrying (her now ex) former Prime Minister Michael Misick.
According to MadameNoire, Claudia joked that she “upgraded the island,” to which LisaRaye replied, “damn right! Say it for the b—hes in the back!”
Adding, “I did more for that island than I did for my own country and my own business, my own self,” she said.
“I became the poster child for Turks and Caicos because Turks and Caicos was a jewel of an island, an elite island, that no one knew about until I said, hey, here we are over here! An hour away from the Bahamas! An hour and a half out of Miami! We’re right next to Haiti! It’s beautiful! The sun and the sand and the water, come see what I found over here! I did that and I started businesses over there. I started opportunity over there and I did nothing for here.”
