Bia Explains Why Nicki Minaj Should Get The Same Respect As Jay-Z

by Daryl Nelson

Bia recently spoke with Billboard and broke down why Nicki Minaj should be just as respected as Jay-Z.

"I always say to people, when you speak of Nicki, you got to speak on her like how you speak on Jay-Z and the greats that laid out the foundation for the people that’s after them,” said Bia, who collaborated with Nicki on her “Whole Lotta Money (Remix).” “[Nicki] broke amazing records and she’s made it easier for people like me to come through and do what we do. I’m always going to give her that credit and that respect because she helped me hit another milestone in my career.”

Bia's comments come a couple of weeks after The Pinkprint rhymer criticized today's female rappers, saying they're unable to take constructive criticism.

Are you in agreement with Bia that people need to speak about Nicki like they do Jay-Z?
