The 16-year-old environmental activist from Flint, Michigan, took to social media Sunday and talked about the toxic drinking water crisis in Flint and other cities, and tagged Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion.
Mari Copeny, or Little Miss Flint, shared several posts about her water advocacy over the last eight years and asked if each could donate $0.01 for every stream of the new songs they have out about each other. Over the last week, the rappers have been in a lyrical feud.
Both of you have HUGE platforms. So I have a couple ideas.
Your new songs will be getting tons of streams. Can you please consider pledging to donate $0.01 for every stream you have on these songs for the next 24 to 48 hours? https://t.co/4ycfa8fhgWhttps://t.co/sXCX9IpRco… pic.twitter.com/ccSsCeLOXW— Mari Copeny (@LittleMissFlint) January 28, 2024
Reaction from Copeny’s plea to Nicki and Megan was strong, and not in a good way. It’s been so bad that the teen activist posted about the nasty comments on Instagram.
“Not leaving this up for long, but there are so many comments like this over on Twitter. Just want people to see how toxic Stan behavior can be,” @littlemissflint posted, tagging Nicki.

Any help getting this amplified? She's a 16 year old girl in Flint & has an idea for the water crisis there 💦
Thanks all ❤️
@theestallion @NICKIMINAJ I know we can come together for this 16 year old baby and the world she’s trying to save. I just know you both are capable of that!

Mari is somebody you lovely ladies must already know. Both of you have the platform to raise up a solution for Flint for clean drinkable water. This is the best idea to date!!

We honor and love you both. 🩷❤️🖤
@NICKIMINAJ You have shown you care about marginalized folks, please donate to @LittleMissFlint to provide clean water for the people in Flint. It's a worthy cause.
