Nicki Minaj and Future dropped a new song ‘Transformer’ on Oct. 19, and Nicki name-drops Milli Vanilli to diss other female rappers. And young fans want to know who’s Milli Vanilli?
The lyrics read, “Four-four four albums in, pull a milli’ for a show / While these b*tches is servin’ Milli Vanilli on the low.”
Milli Vanilli was a German R&B duo that shot to fame in the late 80s. The group consisted of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, who hailed from Germany. They released their debut album, All or Nothing, in Europe in 1988. Milli Vanilli soon found success and earned the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1990.
It wasn’t until the late 80’s that the duo shocked their world with lip syncing secret. During Milli Vanilli’s live performance of “Girl You Know It’s True” on MTV in 1989, the recording started to skip and repeated the same lines. Fab and Rob continued to perform, but it was clear that duo couldn’t sing. Later on, they confess to not singing their own music and was stripped of their Grammy.
