Missy Elliott Denies Dissing Nicki Minaj (Or Anybody) After Inciting Barbz Backlash Over “Classics Vs. Hits” Debate

Published: Wednesday 24th Aug 2022 by Rashad

‘All N My Grill’ hitmaker Missy Elliott found herself getting grilled after what appeared to be an innocent interaction with her 7 million followers turned into an all-out war.

See how inside.

Taking to the social media platform Wednesday morning (August 24), the 51-year-old quizzed readers on their thoughts about what differentiates a hit from a classic.

 

And while the general question led to thousands of responses as commenters weighed in and justified their answers, some – namely Nicki Minaj fans (affectionately called #Barbz) – took the inquisition as a slick diss to the ‘Super Freaky Girl’ rapper who is currently enjoying her first solo run atop the Hot 100.

Look below to see some highlights of their responses.

As the comments continued to flood in, Missy clarified her initial post came from a ‘positive place’ and was not a diss directed at any particular person.

Elliott’s slamming comes just two weeks after she shared a lovefest with Minaj for becoming the second female rapper to be awarded the Michael Jackson MTV VMA Video Vanguard Award.

        It would be pretty dumb to think Missy was dissing her.

    The barbz are fückïn LOSERSSSS.. One thing about Missy, she’s not messy and constantly shading people via coward äss subliminal disses like Onïgga. DïckiMinaj and her idiot barbz feel targeted cause they know that song is trash LMAO why else would they attack somebody asking an innocent question? If the music had any substance there would be nothing to be mad at, dummies. I do know Missy wasn’t trying to shade that humongous p**, it just hurt cause she has the leading song right now and it’s the most forgettable song to ever top the hot 100 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    OMG The Barbz are soooo insecure. It was an honest question. Missy has no reason to be jealous of Nicki Minaj ass. She’s a WHOLE legend. They can’t focus on celebrating their favs first solo #1 single in 15 years. Instead they’re busy bullying other female rappers as per usual. Lame asses.

  4. Paulo August 24, 2022

    What? Missy was never shady to anybody why would she start now? Garbz are the worst

  5. Liam August 24, 2022

    Nicki fans are so stupid….Missy is one of the most unproblematic female rappers. And she actually like Nicki and congratulate her for #1 smh

  6. Detruth August 24, 2022

    Missy is not shady or a hater. Nicky lil number 1 is good but her career still didn’t out do Missy’s.

  7. DaStallion4eva August 24, 2022

    Lol the insecurities are loud. The Garbz should find something better to do with their time. Why so mad when their bad body fav is sitting at the top of the charts. A bunch of lame ass clowns that’s what they are. Just when I thought the Garbz couldn’t get anymore pathetic. Missy is the legend Nicki wishes she could be. Keep wishing h**.

  8. Gworl Bye August 24, 2022

    Yeah, Nicki fans really showed their insecurity (and stupidity) on this one.

  9. Anne August 24, 2022

    Seems like more than a coincidence to me. She was obviously making a point and had to know about Nikki’s record breaking, number 1 “hit.” She has a point too, not every hit is a classic just like some classics were not number one hits but still stand the test of time.

  10. Ms.Ling Ling’s Yum Yum Dim Sum August 24, 2022

    Missy is just being jealous of Queen Nicki. Just STFU if you don’t have a #1 solo song

  11. Jennifer August 24, 2022

    I’m shocked that Missy doesn’t have a #1 album on BB200 or a #1 song on the BB HOT 100 now that’s shocking.

    • Ching Ching August 24, 2022

      There was A LOT of competition in the 90’s and 2000’s but she still left her mark. #1’s are cute to have but not the end all be all. Missy is legendary. Forever an innovator. She’ll never be irrelevant because of her impact. There are artists with #1’s who can’t say the same…….

      • Kenneth August 24, 2022

        I agree Missy left her mark. She’s very talented and has had huge success. Missy may not have a number 1, but she has produced number 1’s.

    • True Tea August 24, 2022

      Yet when Nicki didn’t have a #1, ppl were saying Cardi is the Queen. Most Female rappers have #1s except for Missy. Even Lil’ Kim has a #1.

      • DaRealWorld August 25, 2022

        Missy outsold all of her counterparts and has more Grammys. She has more classic, quality hits than Nicki and that’s a fact. Not to mention all of the classics she’s wrote & produced.

      • Detruth August 25, 2022

        No most female rappers don’t have number 1s that’s why it’s such a big deal when they get 1. The 90s and early 2000s had plenty female rappers but nowadays female rap is just as mainstream as male rap. Its not the same.

      • True Tea August 25, 2022

        Thanks to Nicki.

        Like you said, Female Rap wasn’t as MAINSTREAM in the 90’s, early 2000’s.

        This changed when Nicki began surpassing MALE rappers and FEMALE Pop artists.

        Now when Cardi and Megan were TOP, ppl wanna mention have FEMALE rap is a big deal.

      • True Tea August 25, 2022

        Have = How

  12. NICKISUPREMACY August 25, 2022

  13. KeyLoLo August 25, 2022

    I hope all those Nicki Minaj fans that are talking down on Missy are females cause if not wowww…A guy calling himself “Barb” though..I can’t..I have never read so much disrespect in regard to Missy.. interesting

  14. Tammy Harris August 25, 2022

    Missy Elliot is one of a kind. There is no female in the game that can touch Missys talent. And that’s not throwing shade at anyone. Missy is ridiculously talented. Her performance during the awards show was epic. She is an icon. Missy has no reason to be jealous of anyone. Nicki deserves all the respect for what she has accomplished but compared to Missy, Nicki is tits ass and bubble gum rap. All she has to do is show up. Everyone else does all the work.

    • Sheaintalady August 26, 2022

      Yesssss. Ikki is a poor excuse for a mc, bytch
