Khia may be known for spitting some of Rap history’s raciest bars, but that doesn’t mean she enjoys being compared to other female rappers who have done the same.

Having made no secret of her distaste for some of the genre’s newer stars, the 46-year-old has slammed the likes of Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie, Latto, and others over the years for various reasons.

And while veterans like Lil Kim, Da Brat, Trina, and Nicki Minaj have long felt royal tongue lashings from the self-proclaimed Queen of the South’s criticisms across her streaming platforms, she recently added relative newcomers Sukihana and Sexyy Red to the list of recipients.

See what she said that has the ‘Hood Rats’ hitmakers’ fans in a tizzy.

Though Quavo‘s biggest successes to date have been attached to his former group Migos, his wins outside of the GRAMMY-nominated trio are nothing to shake a stick at.

As if topping the Rap charts by his lonesome with his 2018 solo debut, ‘Quavo Huncho,’ wasn’t enough to brag about, the rapper (born Quavious Keyate Marshall) repeated the feat last year with ‘Infinity Links‘ as one-half of the duo Unc & Phew (with late fellow former Migos member Takeoff).

In honor of Takeoff’s tragic death, Quavo used his second solo effort – ‘Rocket Power’ – as a healing mechanism.

“This album is for the Rocket, our true fans, and also, this is my therapy,” he wrote on social media. “This album is a true reflection of how I feel right now. Sometimes I’m good, sometimes I’m down, sometimes I’m disappointed, sometimes I fall apart, but then I always find my strength again. I know everything might not be alright right now, but the Rocket showed me a way to make it right! Rocket Power keeps me going. Rocket Power gives me fuel. ‘Rocket Power’ will help us all overcome whatever we’re going through.”

Featuring the likes of Young Thug, Future, and Don Toliver among its high-profile guests, the 18-track affair also boasts production from big names like Atake, Murda Beatz, Zaytoven, Mike Dean, and others.

Even before the tragic death of Takeoff in November, chart-topping Rap group Migos had already called it quits as member Offset embarked on a solo career while Take joined forces with Quavo to form Unc & Phew.

And while the duo’s debut album, ‘Only Built for Infinity Links,’ has garnered a solid commercial response on charts to date, longtime fans – undeterred by the Migos split – seem to still be holding on to the trio’s biggest hits.

Evidence of that came via a slew of recently updated certifications at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a feat made possible thanks to impressive ongoing streams and digital sales of favorites from the group. Said figures were also given a boost due to supporters paying respects to Takeoff.
