"I said what I said," Trina notes.

Earlier this week, a snippet from Trina's interview with HipHopDX started to make its rounds, sparking quite a bit of controversy. In the clip, she gives Beyonce a shoutout for her contributions to female rap. Her claims certainly managed to raise some eyebrows, but regardless, she stands by what she said.

"Yeah,Beyoncé cuz she's like the number one female rapper when she does rap," Trina told the outlet. "It's just one of those things like of course this is the Queen's Beyoncé but when you hear her do a song and it's rapping involved, it's like, 'Oh my God,' like it just, it's more inspiration and, um, I don't know it's just a good thing man." Now, after receiving plenty of backlash for her comments, Trina has taken to Instagram to respond.
