Acronym started by black female performers meaning Divinely Inspired, Victoriously Anointed but came to be associated with women who are temperamental with an inflated view of their own talent or importance, much like a "prima donna"
That demanding woman is such a Diva.

a diva is your ride or die chick, your wifey, your BEST friend,and she can be your freak. The difference is she can make sure you're taken care of, she the wifey you can bring home to mom, she can please you in the bedroom.A diva lives by the rule 'The man that keepeth his tounge, keepeth his life'(The Bible)..she doesn't have to let da world know wut she got by word of mouf She is smart, book wise and street wise.She has enough confidence to make any and everyone respect her and she respects them back. She is always on point. She leads by example. A diva never disowns, misrepresent or even dishonor her title as a diva.She is not a hoe,a sl*t, a skeet, a jump off, a quick f***, or a regular chick. A DIVA IS A FLY ASS LIL MAMA WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS AND GETS WHAT SHE WANTS...WHEN SHE WANTS IT...NO QUESTIONS ASKED
See...there is a difference between a regular girl, a wifey, a friend and a DIVA!...A REGULAR GIRL~is simple she is some what ignorant she's all about letting her friends and the whole world know that she got a man as if she neva had one before instead of keeping her tounge and if he's doing wrong they will know that too...she don't know how to be a ride or die mama, Also, you can f*** her in a heartbeat. A FRIEND~ is a girl who will make sure you're ok emotionally and you can't F*** it will take a while to infiltrate that barrier of friendship..you can talk to her about any and everything. A WIFEY~ is a shortie who got your back through thick and thin, she will take care of you make sure your good because she knows if her man is good she gonna be good too.
