‘Princess’ dishes on souper diss

- Nicole Hensley

PRINCESS NOKIA is now a souper star.

The Harlem rapper took credit Wednesday for taking down a foulmouthe­d subway bigot with a swift slap and a container of soup.

“And yes I threw hot soup in this man’s face,” the 25-year-old “Tomboy” artist tweeted. “Any other racists wanna try us again?”

The artist, whose real name is Destiny Frasqueri (photo), said she slapped Lime-A-Rita-guzzling Paul Lawson after he hurled an L train hate rant at a group of teen boys.

“When I slapped him, he called me a n---r, and when I did, all my brothers on the train came to my side and held my hand and comforted me,” Nokia recalled.

The 25-year-old rapper says she was one of several irate straphange­rs who called Lawson out. Stunning cell phone footage shows him Saturday, provoking riders with the n-word and an ugly attitude. Riders force him off the train at Bedford Ave. in Brooklyn. Nokia steps forward and lobs her container of soup onto Lawson as he tries to get back onto the train to get his bag.

In a string of since-deleted Facebook posts, Lawson refused to apologize for his hateful slurs, according to Gothamist. He later said he is seeking help after that “unfortunat­e video.”
