CHIKA is showing no signs of remorse for throwing serious shade in the direction of T.I. and Tiny‘s grandchildren, now doubling down on her original comments.
Earlier this month, the Alabama-based rapper took to Twitter to moan about a pair of baby twins sat near her on a first-class flight, who allegedly, as babies are known to do, began crying on the flight.

After firing off a series of rage-filled tweets, that included telling the children’s mother: “I hope you get a paper cut between each finger tomorrow, you senseless wench,” CHIKA came under fire from not only social media for her comments.
As it turned out, the “babies” in question weren’t twins, and apparently weren’t acting up — and one of them was the child of Tiny Harris’ daughter (and T.I.’s stepdaughter) Zonnique Pullins. This led to CHIKA being on the receiving end of a tongue lashing from the Xscape singer.

However, even after facing backlash from Tiny, Zonnique, as well as social media at large, the “SONGS ABOUT YOU” rapper has said she’s not sorry for the comments, and has even doubled down on her stance in a series of tweets that included her attacking the kids once again.
On Wednesday (June 7), CHIKA took to Twitter to explain how she had fallen in love with someone over the weekend, sharing photos of her and the person’s matching tattoos. One fan commented: “Who cares. Did you apologize to that mom and children?” Which set the rapper off on a rant.
“Why would i do that,” she asked, before elaborating further. “It wouldn’t be sincere. i’m sorry you saw it. i’m not sorry for saying what i said cuz it wasn’t personal. it was venting about a scenario/stranger. idc like that.”
CHIKA then claimed that “shorty” insulted her back (presumably talking about Tiny or the relative of hers who also weighed in on the drama on social media when it originally took place) and so she believes that makes things even.
After saying she wasn’t going to talk about it anymore because “this internet shit ain’t real,” CHIKA continued to go back and forth on the subject with people in her comments, including one Twitter user who called the rapper “a musty heaux” and encouraged her to “get some soap.”

Imagine commenting on the scent of someone you can’t afford to sit beside,” CHIKA wrote in a retweet, before going on: “btw, like i said on my story: shawty was tryna get her lick back cuz i called her and her children a plethora of names in jest. but bitch, i showered 30 min prior to boarding and my clothes were fresh out the dryer. you saw fat & thought, “lemme attribute a smell to her body.”
She concluded her rant, by signing off: “And that’s why it’s STILL fuck your kids. i complained (rudely) for a real reason. you and your busted ass nanny just chose to be trash & lie on the internet. again, choke.”
CHIKA’s latest comments come after she seemingly backtracked about her statements the day after the incident.
“posting because i think it’s important & because i understand that people who actually do want to support me were also offended by my inflammatory thread yesterday,” she wrote. “i’m sorry cuz it was triggering/infuriating to many. i just don’t like being seen as someone i’m not.”
She continued: “i wasn’t cruel to anyone, i was mean *about* someone. stop conflating the two and acting like i caused harm. i can own what i did, i will not own what is projected onto me. i’m sorry.”
This is just the latest in a series of controversies that CHIKA has found herself embroiled in — so much so, in fact, that the release of her new single, “Requiem for a Dream,” was overshadowed by her latest Twitter rant.

Back in April 2021, the Alabama native announced she was “retiring” due to the toll the music industry was taking on her mental health, opening the floodgates for bullies. In a video posted to social media, CHIKA retaliated with some vitriol of her own.
