TikTok users are calling some people “barbs” and it is a new trend on the platform. But is being a barb a good thing or a bad thing?
Let us explain what a TikTok barb is and you can find out for yourself if you are one.
What is the meaning of a TikTok barb?
This new slang is all about how much of a Nicki Minaj fan you are. Users on TikTok already call the artist “Barbie”. A lot of her fans follow not just her but also her political views.
If you look up the best slang dictionary, the Urban Dictionary defines “barbs” as –
Short for Barbies
Example – Nicki Minaj- “Yo I just love all my fans ! You are my barbs !”
a fan of the infamous female rapper Nicki Minaj
Example – Nobody:
J.K Rowling: Fun fact, Neville Longbottom was a barb!
a big fan of the very famous and iconic rapper nicki minaj. her fanbase itself is called the barbs or the barbz. (one of the best fanbases on the planet).
Example – Person 1: “I am a certified barb. I have bought Pink Friday, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, The Pinkprint, and Queen!”
Person 2: “That’s what I’m talking about!”
But there’s something else you need to know. Being a barb means being a Nicki Minaj hardcore fan but being a TikTok barb means something else entirely –
A TikTok barb is someone who pretends to be a fan of Nicki Minaj for clout but really isn’t a fan.
Example – “Hey did you see that TikTok barb that doesn’t even like Nicki Minaj?”
So which one are you? A barb or a TikTok barb?
