Trina has come to the defense of Sexyy Red and Sukihana for the backlash they’ve been facing for their raunchy lyrics as of late.
While doing an interview at One Musicfest in Atlanta at the end of last month (via Female Rap Room), the “Naan” rapper – who came to fame with raunchy lyrics of her own – noted that the two newcomers are young and living their lives how they see fit.

“They gotta grow, they’re gonna grow up into women, you know?” she began. “They’re young girls, young women, but still – this is a freedom of speech. Like, we’re not locked up, we’re not chained down. Say what you want to say, make music of what you feel like. This is their experience, their struggle, their raunchiness, their whatever they feel, wherever they came up at, their struggle, their circumstance.”
She continued: “I don’t know where they were born or their hometown. I don’t know, you know, what life was to them, if it was a hardship or they had days where they didn’t eat on the weekend. Who knows? But now they are and that’s all that matters. They do what they got to do. If you don’t like it, guess what? Don’t listen. That’s why we have ears.”

The issues started via a scathing rant just days earlier, where “My Neck, My Back” rapper Khia implored fans not to compare her to newer artists, who she believes are shamelessly pushing a “hoe” lifestyle.
“I’m ’bout tired of y’all comparing me to these hoes. I said my neck, my back, my pussy, and my crack,” Khia said. “Not these n-ggas out here, these hoes out here… I still stood 10 toes down like a muthafuckin’ queen. Hair still wrapped like the first day.

“I ain’t changed a bit, okay. It’s respect me. It’s snatch the muthafuckin’ cat back. It’s don’t trust no muthafuckin’ n-gga. Get your own shit. It’s tell that n-gga to hit the muthafuckin’ door.”
She added: “You wanna fuck these bitches, you wanna fuck these hoes. It ain’t eat no n-gga’s ass and suck no n-gga’s toes. Y’all hoes couldn’t have grown up listening to me because that ain’t how the fuck I roll.”

The 46-year-old continued by proudly reminding fans that her private life has never been on front street and her dignity has remained in tact since she rose to fame in the early 2000s.
“I been out here 25 years and y’all ain’t seen no pictures of my pussy, no videos of me sucking dick, my phone never been stolen and y’all ain’t seen me with no man, bitch,” she said, seemingly referencing Sexyy Red’s recent sex tape leak. “And I got a muthafuckin’ husband.”
“Y’all ain’t never seen me do shit. Y’all ain’t seen no husband, no children, no n-gga I’m fucking… Y’all ain’t never seen me twerking, y’all ain’t seen my pussyhole from the back… Y’all ain’t got shit on the queen.”
In response, Sexyy Red hopped into The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram comments section to put Khia on blast for hating on the younger generation of women rappers.
“Just another ol washed up h@g hating ona yung turnt rich bthc,” she wrote. “Hatin on btches den & you still ah mad hater.”
Sukihana addressed Khia’s comments on X and went so far as threatening to knock her out.
