Hip-Hop veteran Nikki D recently sparked a lot of conversation when she commented on Ice Spice's performance at Power 105’s Powerhouse concert this past weekend. Ice Spice was wearing a very short red Betty Boop costume, and seemed uncomfortable, as she kept pulling at it when it exposed her backside as she performed.
Nikki posted a clip of the performance and captioned it with her thoughts on the state of women in Hip-Hop these days, as Hip-Hop Wired points out.
“Oh come TF on!!! You mean to tell me, this is true talent... the Female genre of hip hop today is the ‘prostitution era’, fight me!!" Nikki, who was the first female rap artist signed to Def Jam in 1989, captioned the clip. "Notice the ONLY 2x’s the crowd reacts... during the familiar ‘munch line’ and when she turns around to show her ass!! She’s one of the top female rappers out at the ‘moment’... where’s her show production, rehearsal, and for god's sake PLEASE STOP singing over those studio vocals; it’s not a live show at that point."
Nikki then said Ice Spice's management should call her. "This girl got 5 minutes left, and y’all gonna blow it!!!”
Her comments sparked significant discussion, especially since just one sub-genre seems to represent women in rap as of late. Nikki followed up the post with another, citing HipHopDX's coverage of her comments.
"To be clear, I’m addressing the business on a whole; this Ice Spice performance caught my attention," she said. That too, elicited a lot of responses, including from The Lady of Rage who posted a meme of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, shouting "You can't handle the truth!"

She needs to stay out of black women’s business. She must’ve forgot her mommas black.
