Career
At one point, the singer tells the employee to “cash me outside,” quoting Bhad Bhabie’s infamous catchphrase from Dr. Phil.
Monica later identifies herself as an up-and-coming singer and assures the staff that they will regret the encounter.
The roughly two-minute clip was posted Aug. 7 to the popular Twitter account, Fifty Shades of Whey, with the caption: “Singer in Florida who goes by Corina Monica tells an American-born nail tech to “go back to your f*cking country.”
The video has more than 40,000 views and over 600 retweets.
Monica, who has five songs on Spotify, has since issued an apology.
Monica, who seems unaware that she is being recorded, is heard asking the manicurist, “You took my nails off, what am I supposed to do now?”
The technician tells her to seek “another professional,” and Monica spits back, “Oh, that’s real professional sister!”
She then demands to know where the worker is from.
“Why do you come to this country, work here, and don’t do what’s right for our citizens?” Monica exclaims. “You make money, you live in my country, you gonna tell me you can’t do my nails b***h? The f**k what do think you are b***h? The f**k is wrong with you?”
The independent musician continues on her tirade, ordering the staffer to “go back to your f**king country.”
When the employee tells Monica to leave, she refuses to budge.
“Yeah, b***h? Make me leave. Meet me outside,” Monica says. “Cash me outside. How about that? I am crazy as f**k. I will f**k you up.”
Towards the end of the clip, Monica identifies herself as a recording artist who is going to “f**king blow the f**k up.” She then threatens that the staff is going to regret not doing her nails.
“Look it up, Corina Monica, stay flossy,” she yells. “Cause you know what? That b***h ain’t flossy, this place ain’t flossy… y’all suck… hope you f**king lose this place.”
She also shouts that she is “smarter than any of ya’ll.”
