Nicki Minaj is no stranger to controversy, often commanding attention with her sharp, unapologetic lyrics. But her latest reference to reality TV star Natalie Nunn on Lil Uzi Vert’s track, “Endless Fashion,” took an unexpectedly positive turn, as Nunn responded with admiration and support instead of offense. The lyric, “Ayo, even if my name was Natalie, none these bitches still couldn’t chin-check me,” playfully references Nunn’s well-known strong chin—a feature that she’s embraced over the years. Rather than taking issue with the line, Nunn fully embraced it, adding an exciting twist to the release.
