Queen Naija is firing back.
She took to her defense after critics slammed the singer over the cover artwork for her new song ‘Set Him Up’ featuring Ari Lennox.
Her words below…
“lol the fact that people think they can get ‘rid’ of me or take me off my own song is ridiculous. I don’t want nor need y’all’s validation to continue to win! whatever y’all say about or to me cannot stop my blessings. The ratio of people who love me outweighs the hate!”
The controversy over the artwork stems from colorist remarks that Naija made in a video in 2017, back when she was a YouTube personality. In the video, he shared a story about how she was bullied as a child, calling her attackers “ugly” and “nappy-headed little girls.” She claimed they were “jealous”of her hair. Though she never named who the bullies were, she was labeled a colorist for her remarks.
The news comes as Naija prepares to release her sophomore album ‘Misunderstood…Still.’
