P Diddy agrees, that we need to stop this competition for a place.
Seeing all this raving about Nicki Minaj retiring and Cardi “taking her position” blah blah… My question is: “Why can’t we just have many dope female MCs?” “Why is there a need for a SPOT or POSITION?” Why do we see the need for the females to compete for JUST ONE SPOT?! 🤔
