One Must Go:’ Social Media Users Debate Which Rap Queen Should Lose Their Crown

If you had to get rid of one queen in the hip-hop game, who would it be? A social media user named @_pettyking sparked a fiery debate about the topic Jan. 29.

In the post, @_pettyking asked users if they had to choose one female hip-hop titan to retire their crown, who would they like to see go “effective immediately?” Netizens could choose Megan Thee Stallion, Lauryn Hill, Cardi B or Nicki Minaj. In the caption, @_pettyking insisted he wasn’t trying to “cause any drama” with his inquiry.

A few users said they would be happy to see Lauryn Hill retire. They cited the singer’s notorious habit of showing up late to her performances as grounds for termination.

“Lauryn. She not coming anyway,” one user commented. Another fan quipped, “Miss Hill. She’s gonna be late and then cuss the fans out for waiting.”

Cardi B detractors claimed that the femcee should be ousted from the industry due to her “mid” bars and poor lyricism. One user named @b.camille_argued that the Bronx native was just an “industry plant” and that her career was never destined for long-term success. The term “industry plant” is a negative label applied to musicians who appear to gain popularity due to their affiliations and financial backing from the music industry while projecting an image of independence.

“Cardi B can go because she wasn’t nothing but a talentless industry plant who doesn’t GAF about rap or rap culture…She just sees it as a gimmick.”

“Cardi can go.”

“Cardi’s bars are mid.”
