    AceShowbiz –
    Queen Naija has responded to backlash that she faces after announcing her collaboration with Ari Lennox for “Set Him Up”. The rapper took to her Twitter account to clap back at her critics who were not happy with the fact that she teamed with the “Whipped Cream” singer for her track, which will be released on April 7.

    “lol the fact that people think they can get ‘rid’ of me or take me off my own song is ridiculous,” Naija wrote on Twitter on Sunday, April 4. “I don’t want nor need y’all’s validation to continue to win! whatever y’all say about or to me cannot stop my blessings. The ratio of people who love me outweighs the hate!”

    While some R&B fans were excited for the new song, some others were not into the idea of Queen enlisting a female artist with darker skin for her project considering her past offensive comments. “Queen naija out here collaborating with darkskin artists to cover the fact that she used to called them dark melon munchers…got her tea…,” one person wrote on Twitter.

    “Never forget that Queen Naija told a black woman to take a bleach bath right after being accused of being colorist due to her ‘Lil black girls with terrible hairstyles’ comment and then deleted. I will never support her…she’s an industry plant anyways,” another person said. “Somebody tell me the time stamp of Queen Naija’s verse on Ari’s song so i can SKIP it. It would make me veddi veddi happy,” a user commented.

    The hate comments that Queen got stemmed from her controversial remarks in a video back in 2017. In the said video, the YouTube star complained about being bullied when she was a child. She described her bullies as “black,” “ugly” and “nappy-headed little girls.” Queen has addressed the video several times with the latest being in 2020.

    “I have never been a colorist. I have never felt that I was better because I was light-skinned,” she said in an Instagram video back in August. “I feel like melanin’s beautiful… The words I have used in the past, they were probably ignorant. Not probably. They were ignorant. Back then, I didn’t know they were ignorant because that’s what I was just used to. I wasn’t that educated on my culture and wasn’t deeply rooted into it.”

      Artist of the Week: Queen Naija

      by

      The ‘Medicine’ hitmaker makes her mark as she soars high on the Billboard Hot 200, entering the top 10 with her first studio album titled ‘Misunderstood’.

      Nov 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Queen Naija is re-introducing herself with her debut studio album “Misunderstood”. Driven by her frustrations as her comments were often twisted and taken out of context to stir up drama on the internet, she recorded 18 songs to show her real self as an artist and make a mark in the industry.
      The album came two years after her self-titled EP which featured Platinum-certified singles like “Karma” and “Butterflies”. She was only an unsigned artist back then but she’d already climbed up to No. 45 on Billboard Hot 100 with her song “Medicine”, thanks to her huge fans base on YouTube, relatable lyrics, and mesmerizing vocal.
      Naija shone brighter with “Misunderstood” as it bowed at No. 9 on Billboard Hot 200 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned. It also propelled the 25-year-old singer/songwriter, who rose to fame as a contestant on the thirteenth season of “American Idol”, to the top position on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums.

      She additionally reached top 20 on US R&B Songs chart with four songs including Lil Durk-assisted “Lie to Me”. On top of that, “Butterflies Pt. 2” climbed up at Urban AC radio, entering the top three with more than 63 million combined global streams. “Pack Lite” gained over 42 million cumulative streams and “Bitter” became the No. 1 trending song on Apple Music.
      “I’m opening up to certain things, like about certain things in my life that people don’t really know about,” she explained her musical growth in the past couple years during an interview with Apple Music. “And I want to bring that connection back, especially since I’ve been away from YouTube for so long, in an artistic way. And also, it’s just I’ve grown. My sound has grown.”
      “I just basically wanted to peel off more layers to who I am. I wanted people to get to know me more, get to like my sound … I really just wanted to mark my place here in the R&B world.”
