“I will do anything to defend the honor of my brothers and sisters.”
Princess Nokia has spoken out after she was videoed throwing soup in a man’s face on a New York subway train, during an alleged racist rant.
The Afro-Nuyorican rapper was featured in video footage that was shared to the Baller Alert Twitter account last night (October 10), which quickly went viral.
