“When one woman wins, we all WIN.”

After six studio albums and two decades in the game, Trina is finally getting the flowers she deserves. The Miami Queen is often credited by upcoming female rappers as one of the first women in hip hop to “talk that talk” and give the ladies a voice in the game. Yung Miami of the City Girls spoke about the “Single Again” rapper’s influence on her life back in 2018. “Trina’s like my God-mom, you know,” she shared. “Trina grew up like raising me. Like her and my mom was friends back in the day.”
