When asked about being in comparison with Nicki Minaj. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim responded, \u201cYou realize, it\u2019s a compliment. Once you\u2019re in comparison with legendary people, it\u2019s certain to occur while you\u2019re legendary yourself. So I take it as a compliment. Shout out to Nicki.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked concerning the Barbz, Nicki Minaj\u2019s fanbase, and the way they\u2019ve been receiving her, Trim said she appears like they secretly show her love, even through criticism. She added that she takes the hate as love, saying they love her and she or he loves them right back. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim was also asked if she purposely tries to sound like Nicki Minaj, to which the rapper quickly responded no. She emphasized that she uses her voice as an instrument, noting that it\u2019s naturally enhanced by her Charleston, South Carolina accent. She could be recent to the hip-hop scene, but she already has her eyes on some big collaborations. Through the interview, Trim said she hopes to work with Nicki someday, together with Future, Beyonc\u00e9, Drake, Young Thug, and more. She <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">added that she\u2019s open to anything and is seeking to tap into different eras and genres<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWkKMIDgLsj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<p>\n                      <iframe class=\"custom-ig-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWkKMIDgLsj\/embed\/captioned\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"640px\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><\/iframe>\n                  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Trim Shares A Recent Teaser With Fans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite all of the talk, Trim is staying focused on the music.
