In response to the backlash she received, Lil Mama, the 34-year-old actress and rapper, reflected on the earlier days of women in hip-hop and offered a more positive perspective on her remarks. She acknowledged that in the past, there were diverse options in terms of style and content for women in the genre. Lil Mama expressed love and a belief in spiritual guidance, stating that women in hip-hop will eventually recognize their true worth beyond any commercial pressures.

She also suggested that sometimes people may not fully see themselves or the implications of their actions due to the pressures of simply living life. Lil Mama seemed to imply understanding of how individuals might end up conforming to industry norms and behaviors that may not align with their true values.

Overall, her reflection aimed to temper her earlier criticism with a message of empathy and hope for greater self-awareness and empowerment among women in hip-hop.
