<h3 style="text-align: center;">Erica Banks Says The Queen Is Still On Her Bucket List of Collaborations</h3>
<p>In an exclusive interview with <a href="https://instagram.com/popoutmagazine?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Pop Out Magazine</a>, Erica Banks was asked who she still wants to collaborate with, and she let it be known that despite all that went down last year, she is still wanting to collaborate with Queen.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nicki Minaj,&#8221; Erica answered excitedly, making a phone call gesture.</p></blockquote>

<p>If you remember, Erica went viral last year after <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/erica-banks-clarifies-that-she-has-love-for-nicki-minaj-after-people-thought-she-unfollowed-her-says-she-was-blocked-after-making-a-certain-comment/">claiming that Nicki Minaj blocked her for a certain comment she made</a>, and that her words had been taken out of context.</p>
<blockquote><p>Okay, I wanna get on here and address the Nicki Minaj situation because it’s becoming misunderstood and misconstrued, and people are even thinking I went so far as to unfollow Nicki Minaj, and I need to clear this up, because this is my fav artist, so I have a lot of respect for her – enough to even get on here and clear this up because I don’t need this narrative being painted of me.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Rap Gworlz Chime Into The Nicki Minaj &; Erica Banks Misunderstanding</h3>
<p>Although Erica attempted to clear the air with her video and even received love from celebs like Baby Tate, some of the rap gworlz were in disagreeance.</p>
<p>About a week later, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/asian-doll-shuts-down-comparisons-to-erica-banks-following-ericas-comments-on-nicki-minajs-female-collaborations/">Asian Doll hopped into the conversation</a> after being compared to Erica Banks due to expressing in the past wanting to collaborate with Nicki. Asian tweeted that Erica played herself and that she is not speaking for everyone.</p>
<blockquote><p>Erica played HERSELF nun of the rap girls think like this except the person that sat her a** in that seat on that stage &; said what she said so therefore she standing on that ALONE don’t drag us with the women with all RESPECT.</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/coi-leray-responds-to-erica-banks-saying-nicki-minaj-entertains-the-girls-who-dont-know-how-to-rap/">Then soon after Coi Leray chimed in</a> following her collaboration with the Queen on the single, &#8220;Blick Blick&#8221;.</p>
<p>She told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/21/coi-leray-dismisses-erica-banks-while-championing-trendsetter-album/">TMZ</a>,</p>
<blockquote><p>You know, you gotta let b****es play the back, you know what I’m saying? Like sometimes you can’t even feed into negative energy, like…at the end of the day, what you put into this earth is always going to come back to you. What you put into this world, will come back to you. So if that’s the energy she wants to put out there, that’s the energy she gon get. We all know wassup, like come on.</p></blockquote>

<p>While a lot of folks may not want to forget her comments from 2022, it seems like Erica is wanting to move past last year&#8217;s drama while continuing to give her favorite artist her flowers.</p>
