“I know what n*ggas is missing in the club. Me! They missing me, they missing my music,” she said Monday, November 1 on Instagram Live.  "And now that I’m in the game and everything and I be seeing all these muthafuckas on Twitter like, ‘You need to have rap, you need to have bars, you need to have this…’ I want to make music to turn the f*ck  up, ‘cause when I go to the club, that’s what n***as wanna hear."

She continued. "I feel like we keep hearing the same song over and over and over again. These rappers nowadays, all of them wanna die. They all wanna die. All these n*ggas need to stop doing lean and smoking weed. You know, this the thing about these rappers, right? They got money and they start buying too much motherf*cking weed, and too much lean and they make that slow sh*t ... The strippers need me. The hoes need me. The motherf*cking get money n*ggas need me. … I wanna shake my ass.”

The backlash against The Bronx rapper came swiftly, which she responded to on Twitter.

I just want a balance sorry if I worded things wrong. I just love music that drop hard and turn the club up like dreams & nightmare & First day out by tee grizzly. A perfect balance of rap and turn up.
