In an interview with USA Today she discussed a range of topics, including the current state of hip hop as it related to female rappers.
. “Never in my career do I remember rap being so male-dominated. In videos, women are basically shown as the girl you shake the booty with. They’re objectified. There are females out there who can rap, who listen to rap. Missy and Lil’ Kim and the young up-and-coming ones need an opportunity to be heard. I think we’re all masculine and feminine, and a society can’t be right if you don’t honor the feminine voice.”
