Halle Berry and Winne Harlow recently caused a stir, giving the title of “Queen of Hip-Hop” to both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj respectively. 

Halle started the debate at the weekend calling Nicki the “Queen of Hip-Hop” during a promotional appearance for her upcoming movie, “Bruised.”

Now, both Halle and Winnie have clarified their remarks and say they were not trying to reignite the feud between the pair. 

Halle Responds – “We’re All Queens”

“Here’s the thing, there’s room for more than one queen, people,” Halle said during a recent interview with “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “That’s what we need to know. Nicki is a queen in her own right, H.E.R. is a queen. All these ladies to me are queens. There can always be more than one.”  

She continued, “Queen is a term that we use to describe great,” she said. “You know, we’re all a queen. All we do all day is say, ‘Hey queen!’ ‘What’s up, queen?’ ‘Yeah, queen!’ ‘What’s happening, queen?’. … Queen, queen, queen. We’re all queens.” 



Winnie Harlow Says “I’m A Fan Of Both”

Winne Harlow said she wasn’t trying to stir the pot; she didn’t actually see Halle’s comments about Cardi B. 

A Twitter user suggested the supermodel was replying to Halle’s “Queen of Hip-Hop” shade. 

“Winnie was right on time! Last night Halle Berry tried to be shady and said Cardi B is the Queen of Hip Hop. While announcing Nicki Minaj as the #emas hip hop winner, WINNIE cleared Halle and said Nicki Minaj is the ONLY queen of hip hop! I agree.”  

Winnie Harlow replied and said,  

“I didnt see Halles speech at the time. I been a fan since middle school & have always felt that way [crown Emoji] I didnt know Nicki won until they handed me the envelope backstage but I’m proud af. Cardi is a sweetheart to me. What shade? I’m a fan of both.”
