The Internet Recently Had A LOT To Say About Another List
As The Shade Room previously reported, Billboard also prompted reactions from social media users after it unveiled its list of “10 Hottest Female Rappers Right Now” earlier this month.
Nicki Minaj topped the list, while Sexyy Red and Megan Thee Stallion were ranked second and third, respectively. Additionally, the list also included Doja Cat, Ice Spice, Latto, and others.
Furthermore, social media users appeared less than impressed with the outlet’s list and let it be known.
