The song is just about not letting the world shit on me: not letting the world take shots at me.” Spiritual vision inspired me, and meditation. And my religion,” she adds, “which is a big part of ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’. I’m wowing the world with my personality and my unique talents and my beauty, and the way that I uplift my spirit and culture, and my spirituality. It was an allegory for my life and what I do as Princess Nokia.

“When I go put myself out there, I’m going to compete. “ Music is a beauty pageant,” she tells me. And according to Destiny, the whole video’s an allegory for something larger. Destiny’s first outfit hints to a leather-clad Aaliyah in ‘ More Than A Woman’ – there are also elements of New York’s underground ballroom culture peppered through the campy presentation. It’s also a feast of cultural reference points, with a dance performance that pays direct homage to Debra Paget’s snake dance from Fritz Lang’s 1959 film The Indian Tomb. “People just love to omit toxic waste, and that’s not the type of time that I’m on.” Generosity above greed and paying it forward rather than keeping success close are key themes: “That toxic energy shit,” Princess Nokia raps, “ain’t really good for your health.” In the final scene, she gifts her winner’s crown to a young girl she meets outside the lift. In another symbolic gesture, Princess Nokia’s wingwoman is played by fellow NYC rapper Maliibu Miitch, who helps her prepare for the competition, and ultimately, plays a major role in her victory. Giggling and smoking in the dressing room, she waves cheerfully at her perturbed rivals, even as they try and give her the cold shoulder. Instead of ticking her name off on the entry form, she sticks down a dob of chewing gum. People just love to omit toxic waste and that’s not the type of time that I’m on.”įor the accompanying visual for ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’, Princess Nokia heads to a beauty pageant – typically doing things her own way, it’s a mission statement for things to come. I’m not a garbage can, I’m not a place for you to put it and I’m not a place for you to dump your waste. Now she looks up, fixing me with a decisive look.“That’s my whole thing for 2020. Quietly spoken, she often addresses her hands, which are neatly folded on her lap. “ I’m not a garbage can,” Destiny says today. In this new era, Princess Nokia isn’t taking anybody’s shit. “Bitches be mad, I blow them a kiss,” she deadpans. “ Do I care?” she asks rhetorically, “unlikely.” And now, the New York rapper has followed that up with ‘Balenciaga’ – a thumping ode to bagging thrift store bargains and looking like a million designer dollars on a shoestring. Elsewhere, she dismisses her detractors with a cool brush-off. In one verse, Destiny revisits an incident in 2017, in which she threw soup at a racist passenger on a New York subway train. Atop bright peals of horn and distilled bursts of gospel vocals, this is a track with soul and ambition at its core. In yet another lane of its own is ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea (S.H.I.T)’ – the first taste of Princess Nokia’s next record. There are few other artists in Princess Nokia’s lane. Between them, the releases spanned emo, hip-hop, grime, punk and pop – all evidence of an agile artist who doesn’t fit neatly into a pre-prescribed box. In subsequent years, she put out the formidable triple threat of ‘ Metallic Butterfly’, ‘1992’, and ‘A Girl Called Red’. Instead, she sacked off the shiny offers and adopted a new name: Princess Nokia. Courted by hordes of labels and A&Rs at the beginning of her career – eager to sign her off the back of early tracks released under the moniker Wavy Spice – there was something holding Destiny Frasqueri back from immediately taking the plunge. From the very start, Princess Nokia has refused to play by other people’s rules.
