NPR drags Jesy Nelson

NPR decided to get involved in the Jesy Nelson drama last night. The NPR Twitter account posted a tweet that read: "Blackfishing aside, there's a reason Jesy Nelson isn't a household name, our critic writes. With toothless lyrics and vocals reminiscent of a bad Camilla Cabello impression, she commits the cardinal solo career sin - being boring."

However, NPR ended up deleting the tweet, due to them misspelling Camila Cabello's name.

However, the review that the tweet came from is still up and oh boy, is it a doozy. NPR writer Reanna Cruz manages to drag Jesy and Nicki in a two paragraph review. Some other highlights include:

- "Nelson (you might know her - if nowhere else - from viral "balegdeh" meme fame)"
- "As seen over the past few months, [Nicki Minaj] has done an incredible job of aligning herself with things that are just The Worst."
- "Nelson contributes a nondescript vocal that attempts to invoke the spirit of "Dirrty"-era Christina Aguilera but ends up being a bad Camila Cabello impression"

Shockingly, as of now, Nicki has yet to go on a Twitter rampage
