Rico Nasty and FKA Twigs became the topic of discussion again after Rico publicly asked to be unblocked on Instagram, bringing renewed attention to an earlier social media incident that fans have labeled a "beef." The incident occurred back on December 14, 2022, when the rapper revealed online that she had been blocked on Instagram.


Why did FKA Twigs block Rico Nasty in 2022?

As a part of a larger social media frenzy, Rico had been sharing a variety of memes and promotional content for her single, Hard at the time. Although many people found the memes amusing, it was speculated that Twigs might not have liked the posts, but no formal explanation was given.

Rico confronted the issue head-on, asking her fans why Twigs had blocked her. She also joked about the situation, at one point saying that Twigs "called" her and claimed it was because she wears Crocs:

"Twigs just called me and said it's because I wear crocs."

However, she later clarified that it was untrue.

Rico urged her fans to help her get unblocked even though she did not hear from Twigs directly. Supporters started contacting Twigs via messages and comments, pleading with her to unblock.

Later on, though, Rico intervened to change the way fans were handling the matter. She tweeted that they were “about to make this worse” as they were engaging in aggressive and spamming behavior. She tweeted:

"That's not how u fucking ask ! Y'all are about to make this worse . Just say #RicoLovesU #PlzUnblock."

Because of the content of Rico's posts around that time, some of her followers thought her account had been hacked. She responded to such claims by stating that she was choosing to post freely and that she had not been hacked.

Rico Nasty clarified through her now-deleted post that she intended to "just wanna post whatever [she] want now," and that her attitude toward social media had changed since, as she put it, "everything in this society is a lie."


The topic has resurfaced again as Rico has asked to be unblocked once again. She tweeted:

“5 years of asking twigs to unblock me im literally a fan. Whatever I did I’m sorry. I was a CHILD.”

Even though there has been no confirmed reply or message from FKA Twigs, it has only led fans to speculate online. Twigs has not responded to either the first block or Rico Nasty’s recent request, leaving the situation unresolved.
