OG First Lady Nancy Reagan died at the age of 94 this week, and now there’s a circulating online petition asking the rapper Fetty Wap to perform his hit song “Trap Queen” at Nancy’s funeral.
Because according to the petition, started by one “David D.” (there’s no other information available about the user) beyond Nancy’s role as First Lady, “Nancy Reagan holds the important legacy as being the most famous Trap Queen in American history.”
David D. writes:
“While her husband, Ronald Reagan, was linking up with Papi to flood the streets with narcotics, Nancy was on TV telling kids to ‘Say No To Drugs.’ Her infamous ‘anti-drug’ phrase encouraged strict laws on drug possession that led to a school-to-prison pipeline we’re still dealing with now. Blacks and Latinos went to jail in droves for possessing drugs her husband gave them. It was an incredible sleight of hand that would make any wannabe Trap Queen hide in shame for her inability to be as diabolical as Nancy. “

This summer has been filled with everything we had hoped for – sun, beaches, ice cream, and of course, binge watching. Let’s be real – Summer is meant to be relaxing, and yes, watching TV for hours on end is relaxing. But, if you’re anything like me, you are getting pretty tired of what Netflix
Unfortunately, we’re almost done with Summer, and thanks to the endless happy hours, beach trips and brunches, you already blew through your Summer fun fund. How will you ever get drinks tonight with the girls, when that bank account is saying no? It’s a tough task, but you’re going to need to buckle down and
