Nadia Nakai explains no-girl collabo rule

Nadia Nakai has come out to explain the reason behind her no girl collabo rule.

She set the record straight on SlikouronLife where she said her initial decision was perceived to be anti-women empowerment.

For Nadia however, she made that decision as female collaborations would dim her light.

“There’s a reason why I didn’t do it at the time. I didn’t jump onto those songs and for me‚ it was okay that I wasn’t on the Baddest remix. I would have never shined as Nadia Nakai. Instead I would have shined as just another female rapper. And‚ that’s what I didn’t want. I want that when I’m involved in something‚ Nadia Nakai has an impact.”

As a female rapper, she has had to be strategic about where she positions herself.

A lot of things have changed and Nadia is now willing to do collaborations.

“That’s the reason why I didn’t want to work with female rappers before because I felt like nobody had created anything for themselves to make the collaboration impactful. Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj came together because they did so much on their own.”
