Streams of Janet Jackson's "Nasty" jump 250 percent on Spotify following Trump's onstage remark

It looks like Hillary Clinton isn’t the only one enjoying the fallout of Donald Trump’s ill-advised insult during last night’s (October 19) presidential debate.

(In case you missed it, the botched-tanned billionaire called Clinton a “nasty woman” during her response to a question regarding funds for social security services and Medicare, rightfully setting off a social-media firestorm.)

Online streaming platform Spotify has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that, following the televised event, streams of Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” increased by a staggering 250 percent.

The sad irony—and potent relevance—here, as some Twitter users have pointed out, is that Jackson wrote the 1986 tune as a defiant response to “emotionally abusive” men. Speaking to Rolling Stone’s David Ritz in 1993 about two guys who accosted her outside a Minneapolis hotel while she was in town recording her album Control, Jackson said:

“They were emotionally abusive. Sexually threatening. Instead of running to [my production team] Jimmy [Jam] or Terry [Lewis] for protection, I took a stand. I backed them down. That's how songs like ‘Nasty’ and ‘What Have You Done for Me Lately’ were born, out of a sense of self-defense. Control meant not only taking care of myself but living in a much less protected world. And doing that meant growing a tough skin. Getting attitude.”

It’s no surprise then that “nasty woman” has become a sort of rallying cry for men and women across the web, providing further fuel for Clinton's supporters.

Trump’s insult during the final of three presidential debates is the latest in a long list of unsavory remarks made by the Republican nominee. Many citizens—American and otherwise—have since taken to social-media to denounce the businessman.

At least Jackson, who is currently pregnant with her first child, will be getting some coin out of this.
