According to Trina, her mother’s death affected many of her relationships. Her grief caused her to become more and more detached.
“I haven’t spoken to [Nicki] in a while,” she said. “Probably a little bit over a year. Maybe longer … Maybe like a year or two. And I mean after my mom [passed away] honestly, I didn’t speak to a lot of people.”
Trina’s mother passed away in 2019. She recalled touching base with Nicki when Nicki’s father died in 2021.
“When she lost her dad, I reached out to her,” Trina said. “So, I think that was the last time.”
Trina also addressed the controversy over her declaring Beyoncé the “Queen of Rap” in 2023. The Barbz, Nicki’s most devoted and aggressive fans, believed Trina’s comment was a shot at their favorite artist. Trina denied any malicious intent and clarified her feelings about Nicki.
“I don’t have no problems with her,” she said. “Nicki’s an amazing, beautiful person. She’s an amazing, beautiful person and I always wish her the best. She’s doing phenomenal. She’s on a whole tour that’s been sold out. You can’t knock greatness and what somebody’s doing. You can’t erase the steps. You can’t take away from that no matter what. And when you look up and see it, and you like, ‘Damn, I’m proud. You deserving of this’ … My mind be on stuff like that. I’m just happy for you. You over here and I’m over here, but I’m just happy for you.”
Nicki began her Pink Friday 2 World Tour in March. The tour is scheduled to conclude in October.
