TLC member Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins caught the wrath of Twitter after seemingly egging on a potential beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Twitter took note of the alleged jab and did their best to drag T-Boz back to the 1990s.
The Jasmine Brand shared a video of Cardi B and Offset heading into club E11EVEN in Miami, Fla., with someone using T-Boz’s account to reply “Poor Nicki Minaj” in the comments.
The slander towards T-Boz was swift and expected, prompting the singer to fire back her own comments stating that she was hacked.
“MY ACCOUNT WAS HACKED IM ON A ZOOM CALL/MEETING SO I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS SAID OR WHATS HAPPENING YET BUT I SAID NOTHING ABOUT @nickiminaj AT ALL,” T-Boz wrote. She also added a longer statement and shared it to her social media accounts, including Twitter, but it appears the damage is done.

Twitter, unforgiving as always, didn’t buy the hacked explanation and did what they’re known to do over their faves.
Just for reporting purposes only, we’ve got the reactions below.

Their still gonna say she’s lying because they don’t know T-Boz has never had a problem speaking her mind or calling people out, so why would she lie about being hacked
because it’s Nicki Minaj stop it if T-Boz had a problem I bet money she would speak on it

I believe T-Boz cause you could hear in her voice that she geniunely did NOT say anything about Nicki and she was indeed hacked. That lady don't do nothing to nobody and y'all gone of of yalls ways to harrass and torment her. I hope karma comes back 10x harder to yall.

T-BOZ does not follow Nicki so if she miraculously follows her soon guys she’s only doing it to support her ‘hacking’ story

You have to be a different type of low coming for T-boz. These people have nothing else to with their life. If she said she ain't say it, she didn't tf. And if she did nobody is going to check her ! https://t.co/qn2gxznAt1
