Following his previous criticisms of Kanye West in 2022, Ben Shapiro once again finds himself in the spotlight, this time stirring up the controversy surrounding the track “Pound Town 2” by up-and-coming rapper Sexyy Red, featuring Nicki Minaj.
In a recent video, the conservative commentator expressed his dismissive views on the song, comparing it unfavorably to “great pieces of art in the history of Western civilization.” Shapiro provocatively claimed that the explicit lyrics made Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” seem tame in comparison, almost suitable for children.
In a sarcastic tone, Shapiro remarked, “This certainly seems like an excellent way of finding a respectable partner and a great father figure for your son. Describing the color of your body parts in a song is definitely the way to go. And now, apparently, Nicki Minaj felt the need for a second version of ‘Pound Town.'”
In response, Minaj took to Twitter to taunt Shapiro, invoking her alter ego, Roman, and stating, “Roman said leave his a** out of it, sir! No pun intended.” This exchange sparked a feud between the two

Undeterred, Shapiro returned to the platform on June 21 with a retort, stating, “Not possible, NICKIMINAJ, since you have apparently never recorded a song that left your a** out of it.” Minaj swiftly fired back with a risqué comment, hinting at a possible addition to her next track, saying, “Next time, I’ll be sure to add my d**k. So you can suck it. Love you.”
Unfazed, Shapiro took another jab at the artist, tweeting, “Surprise twist: NICKIMINAJ was the one with the anaconda all along.” The banter between the two continues.
