In a lighthearted and witty response to online criticism, Queen Naija has cleverly fired back at her detractors by introducing a merchandise line themed around the phrase “I blame Queen Naija.” This playful retaliation follows a Twitter user jokingly holding her responsible for the disappearance of the iconic Titanic submarine.
In her response, the talented singer from Detroit humorously quote-tweeted, “I’ll see you in court,” sparking a playful exchange between the two.
Quick to seize the moment, Naija has transformed this surreal controversy into a smart marketing opportunity. The newly launched merchandise line includes T-shirts, hats, and cropped tank tops adorned with phrases like “I blame Queen Naija” and “I’ll see you in court.” These slogans not only reference recent events but also playfully address the barrage of negative comments often directed at the “Words of Affirmation” artist.

Naija is no stranger to dealing with trolls. In an interview with “The Breakfast Club” in April 2022, she openly shared her experience, saying, “I receive a lot of love from everywhere except Twitter. It seems like I’m the target of jokes on that platform.”
She further expressed, “There are some people who genuinely don’t like me… But then there’s also this bandwagon effect, where everyone jumps on the hate train because they want attention, popularity, or more likes and followers. It has become a trend to dislike me, but honestly, I think deep down they actually like me. Why else would they talk about me so much? It’s clear that they have some level of interest in me.”
Despite facing occasional harassment, the musician has managed to maintain a sense of humor, often responding to negativity with lighthearted banter. Her newly launched merchandise line is a testament to her ability to find amusement in such situations. However, amidst the playful exchanges, she remains deeply concerned about the well-being of the missing submarine’s crew and sincerely hopes for their safe return.
The OceanGate Titan, the submersible that went missing while heading towards the Titanic wreckage, had five explorers on board. On June 22, the U.S. Coast Guard discovered a “debris field” believed to be connected to the lost vessel, which has garnered international attention and sparked concern. According to REVOLT, the crew had only 96 hours of oxygen when they departed, and as of June 22 at 7:10 a.m., they are presumed to be deceased.
While Queen Naija and her fans may find amusement in her witty response to online critics, it is evident that she remains aware of the gravity of the situation and the precariousness faced by the missing passengers.
