Nicki Minaj is no stranger to controversy throughout her music career, but her latest song, “Say So (Remix)” by Doja Cat is creating backlash as Nicki’s verse is seen to contain ‘homophobic’ lyrics by some fans.
The lyric in question refers to Nicki’s past sexual identification.
The lyric is “Used to be bi, but now I’m just hetero” which referred to early in Nicki’s career when she admitted that she had claimed to be bisexual “to get attention.”

“That Nicki verse is so gross… “I used to be bi but now I’m just hetero” yes thank you that makes bisexuals look great that makes the entire LGBT community look great thank you so much,” tweeted another.
