Trim Addresses Ongoing Nicki Minaj Comparisons Online

On Tuesday, Trim was approached by paparazzi and asked several questions. When questioned about being compared to Nicki Minaj, she responded.

Trim replied, “You know, it’s a compliment. When you’re compared to legendary people, it’s bound to happen when you’re legendary yourself. So I take it as a compliment. Shout out to Nicki.”

When asked about the Barbz, Nicki Minaj’s fanbase, and their reception of her, Trim mentioned that she feels they secretly show her love, even amid criticism. She added that she interprets the hate as love, stating they love her and she loves them back. Trim was also asked if she intentionally tries to sound like Nicki Minaj, to which the rapper quickly denied.

Although she is new to the hip-hop scene, she already has aspirations for significant collaborations. During the interview, Trim expressed her hope to work with Nicki one day, along with Future, Beyoncé, Drake, Young Thug, and more. She added that she’s open to anything and aims to explore different eras and genres.
