Nas, LL COOL J, and Questlove have come under fire for allegedly overlooking female rap pioneers in their respective Hip Hop 50 celebrations.
On Tuesday (January 2), MC Debbie D — the self-proclaimed first solo female rapper – took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an open letter calling out the aforementioned trio for omitting several foundational female Hip Hop acts from their events last year.
“Brothers and Sisters: The Grammy Awards and Yankee Stadium events were a beautiful celebration of hip hop commemorating 50 years of our existence,” she began. “With the recent Grammys show in particular, LL says ‘everyone cannot be in the show,’ to which I understand.
