OH! Akbar V riding for Nicki Minaj via social media on Wednesday (August 14). It appears that Akbar watched a video latte name Lil’ Kim is her pick for the GOAT (greatest female rapper of all time). Well, it’s safe to say that AK is NOT here to hear the opinion of the ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ rapper!

Here is what Akbar V said about Latto’s choice
On X (formerly Twitter), Akbar responded to TMZ’s headline about Latto’s pick. While the reality star agreed that Lil’ Kim was influential, she argued that Minaj is the current, true answer to the GOAT question.
“Lil Kim is the Goat… her and Foxy have both run and done so much for us, so have the female rappers, Eve, Missy Elliot, etc, but when there’s a deadlock, and no label wants to sign female rappers? Who came and opened the door and had the longest run in history, Nicki Minaj…” Akbar V wrote.
The former reality TV star added, “…Let’s not say Kim is the Goat of all time because no one can steal that from @NICKIMINAJ.” Furthermore, Akbar V begged Latto “Give that annoying girl flowers when they’re due, you two don’t need to fight but keep the same pile.”
AK’s X post appears to be a reference to the October 2022 war of words between Latto and Nicki Minaj. The two rappers traded insults after Minaj referenced Latto’s song ‘Big Energy’ while criticizing the Recording Academy’s classification of rap and pop songs. Neither woman has publicly offered a reconciliation following their spat.
In a follow-up post, Akbar V also credited MC Lyte and Queen Latifah as entertainers who have “did a lot for female rappers.”
Latto SAID THIS About Lil’ Kim
To put things into perspective, Latto picked Lil’ Kim as the GOAT in a conversation with her sister Brooklyn for Complex. During the conversation, Brokklyn called her sister the GOAT, while the ‘Big Mama’ rapper picked Kim.
“My female GOAT is definitely Lil’ Kim. Fashion icon. Timeless music, timeless look. Like forever is going to be a staple not only in rap, but in female rap,” Latto shared. “And she’s the real GOAT, because she’s a queen, like in real life she’s a fucking queen. I love that bitch.”
As for the GOAT male rappers from Atlanta in particular, Latto credited Gucci Mane and T.I. See her full comment below.
While Akbar V wasn’t feeling Latto’s choice, the ‘Put It On DA Floor’ rapper seems to have given Nicki Minaj flowers this year. In April, she spoke to Atlanta’s 107.9 radio station about her top three female rappers, dead or alive.
Once again, she mentioned Lil’ Kim first, followed by Left Eye, and finally “shawty.” Fans were quick to speculate that “shawty” was Nicki Minaj.
Meanwhile, Sexyy Red recently gave Nicki flowers during an interview with Latto. See what the ‘Get It Sexyy’ rapper had to say about Minaj’s “longevity” below.
