Former MOMOLAND member Daisy is currently all over social media, after she discussed her story of becoming a K-pop rapper.

To add context to this incident, she revealed how she had never practised rap or created a verse for an audition since she was more into dancing and singing. Daisy said she was desperate during her trainee days and really wanted to stand out in front of the judges at the audition.

This resulted in a hilarious wave of reactions from fans on social media, with one user profusely thanking the US-based rapper on X: “THANKYOU NICKI MINAJ”
